Posted on February 20, 2017 by Very Warm

Hey would you look at that – Recommended Albums is back in the saddle babyyy. I gotta be honest, this wasn’t too easy to put together. 2017 has started off with a wimpy sigh in terms of music that should … Continue reading →

Dntel – “Connections” [2014]

Posted on February 9, 2017 by Very Warm

Putting aside the goofy thumbnail for this Youtube video, this is a fantastic song. I’m not really sure what to call it in terms of specific style, but it’s just really charming electronic music. Very human-sounding bleeps and bloops cascading in … Continue reading →

Colleen – “Everyone Alive Wants Answers” [2003]

Posted on February 7, 2017 by Very Warm

Achingly beautiful in its uniqueness. Surely very few things in 2003 sounded like this. Even now Colleen is making beautiful outsider music. If you like this song, you’ll undoubtedly like the rest of the album. I suggest you check it … Continue reading →

Grouper – “Water People” [2011]

Posted on February 4, 2017 by Very Warm

Another Grouper post because it’s worth it. Grouper released this Water People 7″ back in 2011 – as far as I know it was vinyl only/no mass digital release. Yesterday, Feb. 3rd 2017, she re-released it to the benefit of the ACLU … Continue reading →

Hatsune Miku + Laurel Halo – “As You Wish”

Posted on February 1, 2017 by Very Warm

It doesn’t feel right that Hatsune Miku has made possibly my favorite song of the year so far, but stranger things have happened. That’s the attitude I’m going to approach all things with from now on: nothing is weird, because everything … Continue reading →

Kidkanevil & Daisuke Tanabe – Kidsuke [Album, 2012]

Posted on January 26, 2017 by Very Warm

Wanted to put up a quick post about an album I’ve somehow never talked about on my blog that deserves a ton of attention. This is Kidsuke, a great glitchy electronic project from Kidkanevil & Daisuke Tanabe. I discovered it at … Continue reading →

Ice Choir – “Comfortable” [2016]

Posted on January 25, 2017 by Very Warm

This song has one of the all-time best choruses. Couldn’t care about the lyrics on this one, to be honest. It’s like this infectious song was made for a commercial or something or short film shown to elementary schoolers. I can … Continue reading →

Major Lazer – “Get Free” (ft. Amber Coffman) [2012]

Posted on January 22, 2017 by Very Warm

I love reminding people of Major Lazer’s humble beginnings, if you can call them that, from the late 00s and early 10s. They used to make weird dance music that blogs ate up and was mostly powered by Diplo’s cult … Continue reading →
