Yesterday (February 28th) Maya Postepski and Robert Alfons the Toronto-based duo Trust dropped their 2012 full length debut TRST. And so I thought you may like a listen. I mean, I could be so wrong because you may not like robust and darkly groovy musical fare that’ll make you move something otherwise used for sitting on. Oh, I am such the mischievous music reviewer aren’t I? Don’t answer that. You can purchase TRST on iTunes or Amazon. Peace. Continue reading “Trust // Sulk”
Propaganda aside, Kele Okereke (of Bloc Party fame) is still with Bloc Party. That being said, you can check him out doing his solo thing. His first solo effort The Boxer (2010) was met with moderate success, then Kele dropped his follow-up The Hunter (2011). Now, even if you missed all that it’s cool. Kele is still with Bloc Party, and you can still check out his newly reworked remix Ft. Lucy Taylor. I think it’s a winner, but hell what do I know. Peace.

When watching or listening to the audio/visual projects of iamamiwhoami right away you know you’ve stumbled off the beaten path, and so far it’s a good thing. Here, in the artsy landscape of iamamiwhoami you’re constantly discovering something, if not special, then at a bare minimum interesting. Swedish singer/songwriter, and dare I say performance artist, Jonna Lee appears to have tapped into a fantastical world where reality is highly stylized and emotionally revelatory. It isn’t a hard guess to determine that many how the works are concerned about facing one’s fears and being vulnerable. And in this latest round of songs/videos we are treated to a barely clad (vulnerable) JL and she’s bringing an entire arsenal of emotion to bare. Immediately you get a sense of barely restrained trepidation, and that better days are long past and longed for. Then there is the matter of the hairy beast man thingy and it’s right out of a Jeff Soto painting. What does its presence represent? Fear? Undefined desires? Indecisiveness? I suppose the proper artsy response would be to interpret, or intuit it in whatever way you want to. And so we’ll leave it right there. Enjoy this duo of videos, and come back and visit again for the next installment of corresponding acts, the songs/videos “good worker” and “play” will be out soon. And, you we can anticipate the album Kin, which is scheduled for a June 11th release. Peace. Continue reading “iamamiwhoami // sever // drops // Video”
