I’ve been following the career of St. Vincent for quite a while now, and she’s always been someone whose new releases get me excited. I saw her at the last Coachella and was blown away by the presentation and performance. Truly an amazing artist, and this album is no exception.

I find myself circling back to African music more and more as this blog progresses. It’s no surprise that, among the various continental musical sensibilities, Africa provides some of the most influential and imitated styles that there are. They also adopt and adapt western musical ideas quite well, which is created some really cool, regionalContinue reading “#465 – self-titled by Nsimbi”

These guys have a really cool sound that is both minimal and powerful. Lots of electronic beats and moody guitar parts.

Yet another day punctuated by the discovery of a really entertaining indie/psychedelic band with a deep catalog. Good times.

As a profoundly lazy man who takes the path of least resistance as often as possible, I frequently let the Spotify algorithms choose albums for me. Obviously, this can lead me to get stuck on a certain genre from time to time, but keeping the project alive is the main priority at this point. SomedayContinue reading “#462 – self-titled by Fuzz”

I was on a flight home from Philadelphia today, having met up with some friends for the Phish Hershey shows.

I’m on my way to Philadelphia to meet some friends to see the Phish shows in Hershey, PA this morning and when I turned off airplane mode during my layover in Detroit, I immediately received a barrage of texts. The were all about this band, and this album specifically. I have to agree with theContinue reading “#459 – For Amusement Only by Spafford”

With the amount of times my kids have watched Soul, it’s a little amazing that it took me this long to listen to a Jon Batiste album. Especially considering how great his work is. Another day another self head shake.

This album popped up as part of the Relix Daily 7 email list, which has often served me well over the course of this project. If you want me to listen to your album, being on the cover in only body paint and including a song titled “DMT” doesn’t hit at all.
