There are many albums coming out this Friday (March 25th, 2022) and I haven’t posted any singles talking about how excited I am for them. I’m changing that today. I’ve got some tracks coming up today and tomorrow that will … Continue reading →

Listen: Lali Puna – “Come On Home” [2001]

Posted on March 21, 2022 by Very Warm

My partner likes to make fun of me because I often romanticize the late 90s / early 00s in terms of a culture standpoint. Obviously every era has its problems, and I realize that this little slice is by and … Continue reading →

Listen: Cool Maritime – “Temporal Dryft” [2022]

Posted on March 16, 2022 by Very Warm

Did I check this track out solely based on the cool tree frog art on the cover? Partially, but I’m glad I did anyways. Cool Maritime (aka Sean Hellfritsch) is putting out his new album Big Earth Energy via Western … Continue reading →

Recommended Albums: February 2022

Posted on March 15, 2022 by Very Warm

Only five albums this month. Sure there was loads more music, high profile stuff at that, but nothing grabbed me the way these next five albums did. I listened to a few other things that were pretty good, like Sally … Continue reading →

Listen: Tess Roby – “Up 2 Me” [2022]

Posted on March 14, 2022 by Very Warm

Listen: Harald Grosskopf – “Synthesist” [1980]

Posted on March 11, 2022 by Very Warm

Another find from my 1980s plundering – the fantastic Synthesist from Harald Grosskopf! I had seen this record once before, albeit in a different state. In 2011 or so, RVNG put together a winning team including CFCF, Stellar Om Source and Oneohtrix … Continue reading →

Listen: Joe Rainey – “no chants” [2022]

Posted on March 7, 2022 by Very Warm

Get to know Minneapolis musician Joe Rainey, an Ojibwe Pow Wow singer that just recently joined Justin Vernon + Aaron & Bryce Dessner’s 37d03d record label, a spot that pretty routinely supports righteous, out-there music. I really wasn’t super familiar … Continue reading →
