SONG OF THE DAY: Bernhoft — “Cmon Talk”
This Scandinavian musician makes some really cool music without anyone else to slow him down. Utilizing a looping pedal, he creates multiple beats, guitar and base lines, and backup vocals to support whatever he’s doing at the time. Check it out if you’re into cool things.
SONG OF THE DAY: Shlohmo — “Rained The Whole Time (Nicolas Jaar Remix)”
I just had to share this remix by the electronica musician of the moment, Nicolas Jaar. The techno beats and subtle pauses layered over the ever-present bass will have you hooked. This particular intro sounds like bricks being sauteed with butter in a hot pan and the entire song is in fact a delicious treat for the ears— enjoy. If you like this check out the original beat by Shlohmo from the ‘Vacation’ EP.
SONG OF THE DAY: Finn Riggins — “Benchwarmers”
Finn Riggins are based out of the lovely town of Boise, Idaho and just came out with a great new EP epitomized by this catchy title track “Benchwarmers.”
SONG OF THE DAY: Mountain Man — “Soft Skin”
Mountain Man is an all-female three-piece that formed a couple of years ago at Bennington College in Vermont. They create chillingly beautiful harmonies, some with sparse guitar and others a capella.
SONG OF THE DAY: Charles Bradley — “The World (Is Going Up In Flames)”
With melodies reminiscent of Otis Redding and James Brown, Charles Bradley is making waves across the country with his soul.
SONG OF THE DAY: “Myth” – Beach House
Beach House where have you been? Oh making an awesome new album? That’s cool I guess…
SONG OF THE DAY: The War On Drugs — “Baby Missiles”
I had the pure luxury of seeing The War On Drugs last week at the Bluebird, and I was utterly blown away. It was easily one of my favorite shows of the school year regardless of the fact that I didn’t really have a conception of their music before the show and I couldn’t hear properly for three days afterwards.
SONG OF THE DAY: Alabama Shakes – “Be Mine”
