And if you have been charting Chet’s continual rise over the years, then surely you have noticed beards are the de facto accoutrement of manly cool as of late, and the constant output and high level of badassery of this Aussie are the star stuff streaking across your earlobe.

Ahywho, it would serve you right to lay your optics upon the official music video for Gold, taken from Chet Faker’s debut album ‘Built On Glass‘. Basically, I told you so and you’re welcome. Peace.

pony bwoy // hallowed ground + dark soccer

 
Pony Bwoy is the latest project from rapper/singer/provocateur Jeremy Nutzman (aka Spyder Baybie Raw Dog), this time teaming up with producer Hunter Morley. Departing from his usual antics as a drugged-up after-party boy late to the club, Nutzman has now blossomed into a soulful smooth-talker, with vocal chops and rhythmic control of uncanny proportions. This transformation is no doubt a result of his collaborating with H. Morley and his forward thinking R&B-inspired production. The songs of Pony Bwoy vary from dance floor anthems to late-night chill zone lullabies perfect accompaniment for conjoined intimacy and solo exploration in the fine art of herblaxation. Album drops tomorrow July 16th. Peace.

The Child of Lov creates an amalgam of divergent sounds. Some his, others not so much. This 25-year old from the Netherlands seems to have been to the thrift shop of music and gathered bits from veritable legends: Ali Farka Toure, Ravi Shankar and the glowing sounds of 60’s soul. All this (and more) he’s sewn tenuously together with a triple-twined thread taken from Bootsy Collins, Jimmy Hendrick, and Prince’s respective funky manish manes.

His self- titled debut album Child Of Lov dropped May 6th via Double Six Records. It’ll definitely add some funk to your playlist. Peace.

Whether you are lover or beloved. On this slight and chill Michigan morning it is Sunday and the music matches the countenance of the weather and the occasion. Behold. Fore the tender tendrils of spring are doing their determined best to permeate the frost strewn terra firma. And Active Child‘s track Evening Ceremony is knocking a ragged hole in your heart.  “You Are All I See” Deluxe Edition is available now on iTunes via Vagrant Records. Peace.

what’s not to like about solange? and i got to give it to her on what i’ve heard so far from her forthcoming ep release ‘true’. first there was “losing you” with its eclectic, yet visceral homage to heartbreak and fear of losing love. then there was the very capable b-side “sleep in the park,” although i choose the twin shadow remodel featuring d’angelo lacy over the original. this was followed by a couple of additional songs, “true”, “don’t let me down” and “locked in the closet”. so far so good. now we have “lovers in the parking lot”. don’t forget the ‘true’ ep drops digitally november 27th via terrible records. peace.

East London quartet Rudimental are on a mission to bring back soul into electronic music.

rudimental are the producers, songwriters and musicians piers agget, kesi dryden and amir amor. and together with dj locksmith, the four men of the world source their various musical backgrounds to constantly turn out dance floor gems from the motherlode of their collective consciousness. check out their, “not giving in” (ft. john newman and alex care), and on this one we get the magic of a bondax remix too! peace.

seattle-based producer kid smpl (b.k.a. j. butler) is all about creating docile chillwave meets electro r&b music, and with his forthcoming debut release ‘skylight’ via hush hush records, this one is sure to please. after the jump check out the ultra smooth, “but i don’t” and the good thing is you can cop it the day it drops on november 12th. peace.

if you’re hip to the cavalier would be musical starlet kilo kish then you know the story. it’s a story about an aloof floridian making good with her many different manifestations, i.e. kool kats klub, her stuff with mell and smash, and of course the sort of mixtape that set it off big time, the ‘homeschool’ ep. and this is what she does for fun! after the jump check the fan fav, “navy” it is def one of my favorites. you’ll dig it too i suspect. peace.

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.
