on the track “fading listening” the voices of chad petree and carah faye charnow of the now undefunct pioneering electro-pop band shiny toy guns, do a sort of call and response reminiscent of the vocally handsome twining with the sonically beautiful. but don’t mind me just listen to the song and just be thankful this pioneering band of four (the other two band members being Jeremy Dawson and Mikey Martin) are finally back together and making great music. the band’s new album III is out now, and if you want to stream it then go to www. shinytoyguns.com. peace.
i think an artist should do a song cover only if they’re going to do it justice. in the case of blood orange‘s (devonté hynes) cover of lemonade’s track “neptune,” it exceeds all (well, at least mine) expectations. the track is taken from lemonade’s current album ‘diver’ released via true panther. by the way, you”ll also hear a pretty dope rap verse by the veritable practitioner of rhymes starchild. peace. Continue reading “blood orange // neptune (ft. starchild)”

i have been a fan of the amazing band villagers helmed by the very talented (understatement) conner j. o’brien and although the band’s sophomore album ‘awayland’ is due to drop january 3rd i highly recommend checking out the band’s debut release ‘becoming a jackal‘ to get a feel for this band’s complete mastery of intelligent and thematic indie-pop. in my humble estimation this is a band more people should become familiar with, you’ll thank yourself later. after the jump check out the video for the song, “waves” and enjoy. peace. Continue reading “villagers // waves”
