AM & Shawn Lee - "Persuasion"

A little something midweek to keep you moving toward the weekend. So glad these two artists hooked up and continue to work together. Based on "Persuasion," I can't wait for Outlines.

Boats - "Shallows"

There's nothing flashy or attention-grabbing about the songs on Melbourne act Boats EP, Release. But they lap up against your ankles and as the tide rises over the course of the collection, they eventually wash over you.

Kamasi Washington - "Miss Understanding"

 Washington just dropped another gem from The Epic. This album is already a contender for my year-end list and I've only heard the portion of the iceberg above the waterline. Can't wait for the deep dive.

Joyce Elaine Yuille - "Come With Me"

If this doesn't make you feel good to be alive and put a bounce in your step, I don't know what to say. On "Come With Me" Yuille is the pied piper and I am following her out of town.

Jonwayne - "Minerals & Gems"

Like everything else Jonwayne does, this is strange, fascinating and captivating.

De La Sou ft. Nas - "God It"

80s giants + 90s giant = keeping it one hundred.

Panda Bear - "Tropic Of Cancer"

I am a fan of panda bears, dogs, blissfully mellow music and weirdness so the video for the new Panda Bear track from Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper is firing on all cylinders.

ORCHESTER KURT EDELHAGEN - "Persian Mood (Black Pearl Edel edit)"

What the funk? This was composed for the 1972 Olympic Games??!!
A little before my time, but so far ahead of the times. Why can't current Olympic themes be this cool?

Garotas Suecas - "Bacana, Bacana"

I've mentioned Garotas Suecas before, and now they're following up  Feras Miticas with an three-song set they just shared on Soundcloud as a free download. Take a listen to this funky not-so-little number and then head over and grab the entire thing for yourself.
