Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
Why waste your time being yourself when, “You can be cool / you cool like me,” quips Fryars on his latest release Cool Like Me.

I must say though this track makes my ears smile from ear to ear (imagine that). Peace. Continue reading “fryars // cool like me”

Brothertiger delivers the goods with Future Splendors, this nostalgic new ten-track album is follow-up to his debut, Golden Years. The album is laid out with an abundance of luxurious synths and sparkling accoutrement, as is the production work. This LP seethes with an intricate and enveloping aura, and the melodies and lyrics are undeniably lush and meaningful. John Jagos‘ vocals are masterfully sung throughout, and as a result this may just be the best Brothertiger to date. I am posting the lead-single, In Mind and keep in mind, the album drops September 24th via Mush Records. Peace.

Jake Mattison is a man set free. Out of the darkness and into a blessed light, we are charmed by the bejeweled and triumphant songs of this mere man. Each note thrums warmly up and down his latest song Golden Friend. Listening to his pain muddled timbre, it is easy to hear it’s bluish, wrung out and forthright triumph. And while Mr. Mattison is no braggart his song has plenty of reason to puff up it’s chests and hold a beautifully turned out head high. The Golden Friend EP drops July 15th just about everywhere you could want it. Peace. Continue reading “jake mattison // golden friend”

The Bristol-based The Other Tribe offer up their My Girl single for you aural consumption and you don’t need utensils or a napkins. So forget table manners and get your nom nom on by the earful.

The Other Tribe are bunkered down in-between shows at their studio alongside producer Mark Ralph (Hot Natured, Hot Chip, Digitalism), distilling their hedonistic live performances into the tracks that will form their debut album. I will keep you posted. Peace. Continue reading “the other tribe // my girl (full vocal mix)”
