Posted on May 23, 2019 by Very Warm

I initially shrugged off Junior Boys’ 2016 album Big Black Coat after my first listen after failing to get anything out of it. I was foolish. Returning to it this year helped me realize that there are some true slammers on there, … Continue reading →

“I Want To Thank You” by Alicia Myers is a classic summer jam by any metric, but this edit done by Earl Jeffers back in 2014 takes the tune to another level. I’m sure it’s on its way to being … Continue reading →

Listen: Jessie Ware – “Running (Disclosure Remix)” [2012]

Posted on May 15, 2019 by Very Warm

For the uninitiated, one of the best songs of the decade, regardless if it’s a remix or not. A PEAK of Soundcloud house remixes. The original song is great, but the early Disclosure magic is THICK on this track. Marvelous … Continue reading →

Listen: Holly Herndon – “Frontier” [2019]

Posted on May 2, 2019 by Very Warm

Somehow, someway, I was able to anticipate that the electronic music genius (and certified doctor!) Holly Herndon was going to be deriving great inspiration from the assaulting and euphoric harmonies of Sacred Harp singing. I mean, it makes sense. Her … Continue reading →
