December 2013

Blood Orange - You're Not Good Enough

Laird:  Do your best not to look at the frightening cover art and the album goes down smooth.



Bars of Gold - Blue Lightning

macarella:  I got this from a Top New Artist of 2013 list and I've been steady rockin it since.   Kinda reminds me of Fugazi.



Klingande - Jubel

Devo:  Sweet sax.



Bonobo - Cirrus

Whiskey:  Bonus trivia, Bonobo chimps are the swingers of the animal kingdom.



Willis Earl Beal - Coming Through

Devo:  Just when you think you are on top of your game NPR drops a list of 100 songs and you've heard maybe 35.



BONUS THROWBACK
Bruce Springsteen - Red Headed Woman

Tatarsky:  Heard this in a Spanish cab last night.  Should have invited that guy to the blog.

November 2013

Flume & Chet Faker - Drop the Game

YAMS: Both these guys are fantastic and this collab does not disappoint.



Darkside - Paper Trails

Whiskey: This song creeped me out in the good way. Darkside is Nicholas Jaar and some other guy. The full album is worth diving in.



Caveman - In the City

Hollering: The lead singer's voice is Sting-ish?



Mapei - Don't Wait

Devo:  It's hard to not like this one immediately.



John Grant - GMF

AdrienBrody:  Rough Trade Records in London released their top 10 albums of 2013 list this week.  John Grant's Pale Green Ghosts was number one.



Amason - Went to War

FreyDon:  Catchy as fuck.

October 2013

Majical Cloudz - Childhood's End

Whiskey:  This song makes me feel like I'm driving through the rainy streets of Seattle on my way to get my girlfriend an abortion. IN A GOOD WAY.



Sam Smith - Nirvana

Adrien Brody:  Blue-eyed soul for you and your loved one.



Panama - Always

Devo:   These bands just pick tropical places or relaxing experiences for names and I like them before I hear the music.



London Grammar - Nightcall

Carl:  Her voice is the truth.



Movement - Us

Hollering:  Three observations.  I highly recommend this track if you are a fan of SBTRKT.  The Aussies are really pawning music holes these days.  Is that wonkey-eyed Karl from Workaholics at the 1:50 mark?
