Feel it in the air, let it swoop like hawk.

It's been out for a little bit but I'm just finally checking out Spoek Mathambo's album, Mshini Wam, and I really dig it. That said, it begs the question of how to describe it and in some ways, it's really hard to say. So many young people are now making music via this method of having every reference and no reference. It's a genre and cultural hodgepodge and I love this younger people's music that's essentially all-hybrid and no-genre. Who cares what it's called, I just know it's good.

Even the darkest night feels small against the morning light.

Happy Friday. It's been a long, long week.
As such, I needed some soothing, dreamy music to wind down to and the new Sun Airway album is fitting the bill quite nicely.
Time to get lost for a bit.

Gonna Come Back As A Ghost.

I don't know too much about this band yet, but what I've heard so far, I dig.
Check out the title track from their Bicho de Luz EP.
Reminds me of vintage Aphex Twin.

Find a shoulder to lay your head upon. [Imaginary Soundtracks #1]

So I've decided that I'm going to start a new ongoing addition to this blog, that I am calling "Imaginary Soundtracks".

It'll be weekly (or so) postings of songs that I have always wanted to see in a soundtrack of some beautiful, yet-to-be-created film.
Some songs may be obvious, but many will be deep-cuts.
And I would like to encourage anyone, especially filmmakers/directors/creatives to actually utilize these tracks I share.
Just give me a little nod in the credits, yo.

First up, we have Lorraine Ellison:
