sarah williams white (sww) // your silence is killing me ep

i like surprises, don’t you? at times the most amazing things happen unexpectedly. case in point, the muse euterpe , you know the muse of song and music (according to olympian mythlogy), introduced me to the music of sarah williams white last night as I randomly searched for new and interesting music. needless to say i hit the jackpot. when one is in a quiet place, hearing sarah williams white for the first time is akin to listening to the inner most thoughts of suburbia reaching out it’s hand to the urban and different. it is also an artist traversing the fine line in-betwixt those two extremes and pulling it off adroitly.

although the ‘your silence is killing me’ ep was released via monosole on september 24th it doesn’t really matter. this is the second release for sww this year, the first being, “if smile at you/take your time“. at any rate, you can check both out after the jump, and you can cop the former on itunes. peace.

quixotism // sooner

there is beauty for the taking if you are willing to venture off the beaten paths and stargaze with me. like a sunflower turn your ears to the sun, and know warmth. listening to the track, “sooner” by quixotism is a tactile sensual experience. your breathing will slow, and perhaps your eyes will glaze over with total euphoria. for more of this audible aphrodisiac, stream the 12-track (name your price) album on the band’s bandcamp page. this is a release ready-made for nighttime and flickering candlelight, and a warm body pressed up close wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing at all. peace.
