Shigeto – “Detroit Part 1” [2013]

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

Jamie xx – “Loud Places (ft. Romy)” & “Gosh” [2015]

To be honest, I’ve never truly been into The xx or any of their side-projects, Jamie xx included. He’s had a few tracks that I’ve dug a little bit, including some off of the collaboration with Gil Scott-Heron We’re New … Continue reading

Sun Araw – “Beams” [2008]

This week I had my favorite long train ride from New Haven to NYC, a quick, two-hour ordeal, to go see Björk in Brooklyn. I put on a great album for traveling, Sun Araw’s Beach Head, a four-song psychedelic odyssey … Continue reading

Album Stream: Death Grips – “Jenny Death”

JENNY DEATH NOW. The long awaited second half of Death Grips’ supposed “final” double album, Jenny Death, is here. So far, it sounds like it’s definitely the least traditionally hip-hop thing they’ve done up until this point. This is more punk/hardcore … Continue reading
