Cost of the Summer – Night Things

Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist just gets me, man. Night Things’ “Cost of the Summer” popped up on this weeks iteration and, surprise, its damn good. It’s got a slick 80’s vibe with shimmering keys and some clean reverb guitar. Vocals are killer throughout the track,…

All Mine – Ivy Sole

I can’t remember how I found this song or artist, Ivy Sole, but I just discovered them. I’ve been jamming it like it’s been a new release daily… but it is not. It’s from 2016. I was going to instead write about something recent from…

Pilot – Brian Marc

I had never heard of Brian Marc until his first album late last year, “The Extraordinary Pleasure of Being Someone Else.” Apparently he is also an actor most notable for appearing in the Netflix Original, Luke Cage. He’s also in some indie films that have…

Mister Mellow – Washed Out

You absolutely can’t talk chillwave without mentioning Washed Out. The project from Ernest Greene has been around for nearly 10 years now, and his sound is still at the pinnacle of the genre. Washed Outs first two albums were built from the same chillwave cloth,…

Flatbush Zombies are a rap trio from…Flatbush, in Brooklyn, NY, consisting of members, Zombie Juice, Meech Darko, and Eric the Architect. They’re one of my go to’s right now because of their unique flow and production from one of their own members, Eric The Architect….

Airborne – Cut Copy

Someone call the damn funk police! Cut Copy’s new song Airbourne is making my hips move in ways I never thought they could…or should. Never heard of Cut Copy? Well, you’re living a lie! Seriously this song has the funkiest bass line, you turn this…
