son little | lay down

 
The artist Son Little (Aaron Earl Livingston) makes the old new again with a graceful ability and a voice like southern moonshine brewed in the olden speakeasies of Philly and wherever else this talented man has set up his musical still. Mr. Son Little is a shape shifter of sorts and once his ears have grazed a locale he breathes in the flavor and makes it his own. Peep his Lay Down track and feel exactly what all the fuss is all about. It’ll make you want more of his soulful moon stuff.

So let the Sam Cooke and Otis Redding comparisons come and go, it’s okay. Because this talented artist, with guitar in hand, is carving out a legacy all his own. And like the aforementioned moonshine the affects are tipsy and dangerously inviting. Look for his self-titled debut, it drops October 16th courtesy of ANTI- Records. Peace.

active child | 1999


 
Active Child (Pat Grossi) sets a tender mood in which time coagulates and gets stuck within the soft tissue ventricles of your radiant heart. And as the track 1999 languidly unspools itself around a bouquet of silvery tears you will fall deeper, fall fast and futility apart. This is chill-out R&B music at its very mundane and forlorn best. Continue reading “active child | 1999”

Our Sunday Best: St. Paul & The Broken Bones | Half The City


 
Birmingham, Alabama-based sextet, St. Paul and the Broken Bones do the soul man thing to fine affect with their all kinds of sexy fun track Call Me. You can feel the absolute longing in every note! These guys may hail from below the Mason-Dixon line but they might as well be from Detroit, Philadelphia perhaps even Milwaukee or any other northern city with a deep seated and historic doo-wop sound. For proof watch their live KEXP session below. Continue reading “Our Sunday Best: St. Paul & The Broken Bones | Half The City”

alt-j | hunger of the pine | the golden pony remix

indie band,

indie band,

The Leeds band Alt-J is pretty amazing as is, but when you put a solid track such as Hunger Of The Pine in the very inventive and capable hands of the exceptional producers of The Golden Pony sparks fly. Look at Mr. and Mr. The Golden Pony’s record, for it reads like the successive accomplishments of some very astute mixologists. Yet, to classify Timothy Monkiewicz and Thomas Murphy as simply mixers of music is not telling the whole story. Consider the following lifted from their Facebook fanpage: Continue reading “alt-j | hunger of the pine | the golden pony remix”
