Snoh Aalegra - "Feels"

Described as the lovechild of Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Ray on Twitter, it's an apt summation and "Feels" seems especially fitting coming off a weekend that gave me a lot of them. Shout out to @whoistheELLE

Chip Wickham - "Sling Shot"

This shit bounces like crazy!!! Cannot wait for the full-length. La Sombra's out tomorrow.

Bastien Keb - "Pick Up"

Not as flame as "Chicken Stomp," the first track from Bastien Keb's forthcoming 22.05.85 is a bit of a slow-burner, but it's a promising taste of more to come.

Otis Junior & Dr. Dundiff - "Why Can't You (Just Come For Conversation)"

WAAAAY back in March of 2016 I featured a cut from this duo and it ended up being my number one song of 2016.  It's pretty much twelve months to the day that the pair finally drop a full-length - Hemispheres - on Jakarta Records. Here's the first single.

Miles Mosley - Uprising

The actual uprising may happen sooner (cough cough Saturday? cough), but UPRISING, the debut record from Miles Mosley - a Kamasi Washington collaborator - comes out in just 11 days. Mark your calendar accordingly. That's the one that notes it's Martin Luther King Jr. day today.

Shadowgraphs - "Countryside"

Out of North Carolina and and out on Golden Brown in April, Venomous Blossoms from Shadowgraphs seems hella promising based on "Countryside" and that swirling organ.

Minus the Bear - "Invisible"

Had kinda forgotten about Minus the Bear. But "Invisible" puts them back on the radar with those great guitars and a killer hook that has me looking forward to Voids release on March 3, 2017 on Suicide Squeeze.
