Having such a mix of instrumentation doesn't clutter proceedings at all. It merely makes the album flow in more captivating style. One might expect that the title track, which weighs in at over nine minutes, would have you reaching for the skip button at some point. But no
Cousin Kula has made an album that is inescapably happy. As soon as the first few seconds of 'Clothes Off' play, it's impossible not to go any further without a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Source: Far Out Magazine With the
Picked this up last month on vinyl at a local record store for about $10, and it was worth every penny. All 1000 of them. This jam session differs from Pablo's other recordings in that it includes the great English tenor Ronnie Scott along with the regular all-
'Daylight Savings' then doubles not as the starting pistol of the summer silly season, but as a beaming beacon of hope for the future. It is a rejuvenating soul-funk soundtrack that channels the charm of '70s Capitol Records, in particular the Californian grooves of David Axelrod,

Sometimes you don’t write for your blog because you have too much to say. Too many ideas, too many directions. It overwhelms you. Sometimes you just got a Switch 2 and can’t stop playing Pokopia. Either way, there comes a point where you have to sit
The good news: I'm back from Australia , and the jet lag is a thing of the past. Oh, and I wasn't attacked by a shark or kangaroo! The bad news: It's been cold af here in Montreal. The album weaves and winds between frantic
“What was the last Fleet Foxes album that you’ve heard?” I asked Sean earlier this year. “Probably the self-titled one, from ’08,” he said. Like him, I had drifted away. Their debut was in heavy rotation on my Winamp back in 2008,
I’m not up-to-date on recent Brazilian music, yet Recomeçar , the first solo album by O Terno’s Tim Bernardes, feels like one of those records that finds you anyway. I discovered his band through a work colleague—shoutout Jhonny!—and their
The best way to approach this Guided by Voices album is to hear it in a dive bar. “A Salty Salute” is a call to arms to hit the pub. “Pimple Zoo” is for those days when you’re annoying the bartender. “My Valuable
“Phil, what an odd choice for your first album.” Yeah, I know. I could be flooding your feed with Trout Mask Replica takes, but instead we’re talking about Silverchair’s Diorama, mainly because Sean is going to Australia, and somehow that feels like reason enough.
