Caught this song on Sirius/XM driving in my car the other day. I hadn't really paid much attention to Laura Marling. Until now. This weary, old-soul voice hooked me in. And frankly, I'd like to think that she's singing about our cat, Sophia, but either way, this song is making me pay attention to her new album. Which so far is not too shabby, though this is the jam that really gets me.
Possibly the catchiest song I've heard in quite awhile. Good stuff. And I'm predicting here and now that this song has a 10:1 chance of ending up in a commercial or indie film shortly. Oh boy.
Starting the weekend out right by listening to my recent fave jam from Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), which is the B-side from his most recent 12" called Gabriel on DFA Records.
I've still been just swamped with work lately, so I haven't posted very much.
But my friend Brian over at Kranky just sent me this new album promo from a new band called A Winged Victory For the Sullen, which is the first installment of the new collaboration between Stars of the Lid member Adam Wiltzie and composer Dustin OʼHalloran. The whole album is amazing and at times beautiful, sad, gentle, calming.
This song in particular was created in memory of the untimely passing of Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse).
Check it.
Been in the real thick of it with work for the last few weeks, so I haven't much time to listen to music or post, but when I have had some time, I've mostly been listening to all the recent Mississippi Records releases, as well as this lovely Brooklyn band, Widowspeak.
Check out the first track of their new eponymous album on Captured Tracks:
Though it's been out for a little bit, I'm just lately getting into Hauschka's latest album.
It's great little avant-garde/experimental piano playfulness gets my pick of "song of the day from album of the week". Check it.
Hadn't posted anything for a little bit as I've frankly been in the thick of it with work projects.
That said, I wanted to share a track from a band called Motopony that I don't know very much about yet, but a band that I'm enjoying getting to know.
This song looks to be the lead single of their self-titled new album, which so far in my listening is a pretty great record.
Reminds me of Joseph Arthur at times, though it's really in its own realm.
Have a listen.
Charles Bradley telling it like it is.
The whole album is solid.SOLID.
