Over the past several years, I’ve been enjoying electronic music a lot more than I ever thought possible. The incredible variety in today’s musical landscape has generated many great artists that are genres unto themselves. Noticing the common inspirations between artists that I like leads me through some fun stream-of-consciousness listening experiences. You never knowContinue reading “#16 – Crush by Floating Points”

#15 – Invisible People by Chicano Batman
Today is my first, and hopefully last, quarantine birthday! I wanted to pick an artist that I have good memories of seeing live since that is the thing I am missing the most these day. I had never heard of Chicano Batman before I saw them play an early afternoon set on the Outdoor StageContinue reading “#15 – Invisible People by Chicano Batman”
#14 – Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch by Frank Zappa
Back to back guys named Frank. Rookie mistake. Zappa has a fun, and massive, catalog to explore. He’s a guitar hero with a truly bizarre sense of humor both towards music and society in general. If you want a good YouTube rabbit hole, check out Frank’s appearances on the various late night shows of theContinue reading “#14 – Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch by Frank Zappa”
#13 – Blond by Frank Ocean
This year would’ve been my sixth in a row working on the Coachella webcast. It has been both my favorite gig of the year and a time of musical discovery each time. The loss of live music in general has been a huge hit. I have a stack of increasingly useless tickets that represent theContinue reading “#13 – Blond by Frank Ocean”
#12 – How Did We Get So Dark? by Royal Blood
This is the second album by the drum and bass duo from Brighton and one that I was really looking forward to. Their sound is great and having been introduced to them in a live setting really highlighted how clever their presentation is. I’ve been a fan of two-man bands in the past, so it’sContinue reading “#12 – How Did We Get So Dark? by Royal Blood”
#11 – Around The World In A Day by Prince
The first celebrity I met when I moved to LA was Prince. I was sleeping on some friends’ couch at the time and someone from their weekly poker game offered me a day of work on some music video. When I arrived at the address I had been given, I found that it was Prince’sContinue reading “#11 – Around The World In A Day by Prince”
#10 – WHOKILL by Tune-Yards
My sister was delighted to introduce me to this artist, and my wife and I started listening to WHOKILL as we sat down to dinner. No more than 20 seconds into the first song and we were both excited about it. This might be my new favorite artist. Alternately described as indie, pop and experimental,Continue reading “#10 – WHOKILL by Tune-Yards”
#9 – Turmoil & Tinfoil by Billy Strings
Billy Strings is a maniac on acoustic guitar. He apparently played in some hard rock and metal bands when he was younger and you can definitely hear those influences in both his playing and even some of his lyrics. The juxtaposition of violent, metal lyrics with bluegrass shredding is extremely entertaining and surprising at theContinue reading “#9 – Turmoil & Tinfoil by Billy Strings”
#8 – Shazam by The Move
They definitely sound a lot like the Beatles at some points, but the heavier moments and some different style choices really make The Move distinctive. This is one of those times where I find myself asking how I’ve never come across these guys before. This was once the main era of rock that I listenedContinue reading “#8 – Shazam by The Move”
#7 – Gece by Altin Gun
Another Spotify discovery that I was once recommending to everyone who would listen is Altin Gun, a Turkish funk rock band that sounds straight out of the ‘70s. Gece picked right up where On, their first album, left off. Its amazing to hear the classic funk guitar effects and psychedelic synth parts blended so wellContinue reading “#7 – Gece by Altin Gun”
