Posted on June 7, 2018 by Very Warm

The second playlist I’ve made for Warm Visions takes a severe turn from the last one I made, Beach Ball Hell – A Summer Playlist. This one is not nearly as accessible and I don’t really recommend going into it while … Continue reading →

Posted on June 4, 2018 by Very Warm

May was likely the biggest month of music in 2018. It seemed like every “major” record in my sphere was released. You’ll see that massive list of everything I listened to this month in addition to the ten records listed … Continue reading →

Recommended Albums: April 2018

Posted on May 13, 2018 by Very Warm

I had a bit of difficulty in creating this batch of records this time around. There was no surplus of good albums to choose from, but rather not many that really connected with me. The undeniable favorite from this month … Continue reading →

Lemonade – “Lifted” [2010]

Posted on May 3, 2018 by Very Warm

It’s the first really, really nice day here in NYC so I’m in the mood for big vacation music. This has been a mainstay for eight years now. It looks and feels like a timewarp to 2010. Life was dang … Continue reading →

Hop Along – “The Fox In Motion” [2018]

Posted on April 11, 2018 by Very Warm

The new Hop Along record is something really, really special. They’ve done it again, the absolute madman. Back half of this track is just transcendent, especially Frances’ vocal delivery AKA the saving grace for all of music.
