Been really warming up to the new Blood Orange album. Check this jam out:
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.
Song of the day from album of the week goes out to my baby (and our baby).
Charles Bradley telling it like it is.
The whole album is solid.SOLID.
Wanted to post a track from an album that I overlooked and am now getting onboard with.
It came out some time ago but I'm really liking its dreamy vibe.

If you haven't heard it yet, you should really check out Hanni El Khatib's album "Will The Guns Come Out".
Super solid release.
Here's a gem to entice you.

Oddly (?) and historically, going against all my hipster friends and cool tendencies, I was never a fan of The Fiery Furnaces.
Then slowly and surely, they started growing on me.
Then Eleanor pulls out all the stops and makes a beautiful and compelling album about her time in NYC.
So bam, I'm hooked in. She's speaking my sentimental language.
Check it.
