Shigeto – “Detroit Part 1” [2013]

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Very Warm

Hello. Here’s one of my favorite wet fall songs. It’s also from a Michigan musician about a Michiganian city. Not sure why it reminds me of fall exactly – maybe it’s the mbira sounding a little bit like raindrops. I … Continue reading →
