Posted on August 17, 2019 by Very Warm

Getting this out in the world took me way too long. July was a weird month where some truly remarkable records like Purple Mountains’ and Lingua Ignota’s, but not tooooo many more. I found plenty of pleasure in other releases, … Continue reading →

Listen: Jenny Hval – “High Alice” [2019]

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Very Warm

Jenny Hval’s upcoming album has now taken a giant leap in my “most-anticipated albums of 2019” race with new single “High Alice”, which continues her trend of shifting, hazy and intoxicating songs off this new album. I cannot wait.

Spike Fuck – “3.30 Psychosis” [2018]

Posted on August 9, 2019 by Very Warm

THIS IS A CLASSIC. CAN’T STOP LISTENING. Sounds like a instant classic from the strange 70s to 80s transition, lost to the sands of time and junkie memory. The whole EP, The Smackwave EP, is fantastic, but “3.30 Psychosis” is … Continue reading →

RIP David Berman

Posted on August 8, 2019 by Very Warm

RIP David Berman: musician, poet, lyricist, writer, and the leader of bands Silver Jews and Purple Mountains. The amount of tributes and messages to the beyond I’ve seen over the last 24 hours have been both inspiring and heartbreaking. I’ve … Continue reading →

Listen: Megan Thee Stallion – “Cash Shit (feat. DaBaby)” [2019]

Posted on August 5, 2019 by Very Warm

Over the past two weeks, all I’ve been able to listen to Megan Thee Stallion, Rico Nasty and Joni Mitchell. Megan’s new project Fever opens the door to all of the praise in the world and Megan deserves it all. The beats … Continue reading →

Listen: Pascale Project – “Be Urself” [2019]

Posted on August 2, 2019 by Very Warm

Not the usual Orange Milk release, Pascale Project brings some vocal house HEAT to the label and ergo our summer dance playlists. I’m on my second full listen of her new EP Be Urself and I can see myself returning … Continue reading →

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Very Warm

L.A. trio Rose Dorn are freshly signed to Bar/None Records and have a new album coming August 23. They previously shared “Shaking”, a more jangly and upbeat cut that I can picture myself jamming to more in the fall. For … Continue reading →

Listen: Waxahatchee – “Swan Dive” [2013]

Posted on July 28, 2019 by Very Warm

I’m HOPEFULLY going to be posting a full recap from Merge 30 festival, which I can say now was glorious and a testament to how a label can also be a family, but I wanted to post the song that … Continue reading →

Listen: Drab Majesty – “Ellipsis” [2019]

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Very Warm

Ooooo wee the new Drab Majesty album is a heater. With this and the Boy Harsher album, I’d say we’re set with darkwave/synthwave records for the year. Anything else and we’re just getting spoiled. I’m not against that happening, however. … Continue reading →

Listen: KOKOKO! – “Buka Dansa” [2019]

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Very Warm

If you remember from my SXSW 2019 recap, DRC group KOKOKO! was by and far the best group I saw at the fest. So nice I saw ’em twice! They released their debut album Fongola at the start of the month and … Continue reading →
