kid cudi // satellite flight: the journey to mother moon


 
Kid Cudi seems to always engage in the unexpected. Whether it is penning creative mind-warping lyrics or progressive and on-point mash-ups with unlikely musicians, he keeps it stupefyingly interesting and just-after-the-rain fresh.

The last 24-hours, although a surprise, is a classic Kid Cudi antic, and he drops not just a track or two or even an EP, but a whole full-length LP. Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon is from beginning to end a full-blown astral intra-stellar travelogue. Listen to song by song as it unfurls and revels an event horizon vantage point that’ll illuminate and continually fascinate your ears no end. My favs are Balmain Jeans, Return Of The Moon Man (Original Score) and the Radiohead tinged Troubled Boy. Great release.

You can cop it from Google Play, Amazon and also via iTunes. Peace.

the last bison // switzerland

Folk-rock has another able practitioner of the soulful and melodically earthy. That’s a good thing.

If you haven’t heard of the southeastern seven-piece folk band The Last Bison then you probably will (by virtue of reading this I guess you have). The band falls into the exploding genre made accessible and cool by such acts as Fleet Foxes and Mumford & Sons. It’s not that their music is trendy so it’s ok to like them. Not even close, The Last Bison’s music is good that’s why you’ll like them, regardless of any proscribed mass quasi-hip appeal. I’m not that type of fickle reviewer and you know it. After the jump listen to “Switzerland” and “The Woodcutter’s Son” and luxuriate in the good stuff. Peace. Continue reading “the last bison // switzerland”
