MP3 blog 2012/01/16

blog 2012/01/16 - stare forward and concentrate until you see the light

Action Bronson & Statik Selektah - Not Enough Words:  Always have more room on my plate for some Action Bronson ish.  From the new record Well-Done.

Baby Sol - No No:  So straightforward as to almost be adult contemporary, there are some simple pleasures to be had here.

Cuff The Duke - Always Looking (Dum Dum Girls cover):  I think I even like this more than the Dum Dum Girls version.  The twang suits it really well.

Esben And The Witch - Skeleton Swoon (Worriedaboutsatan Remix):  Woah there, some gorgeous heavy magic going on here twisting around with my libido...

Hidden Orchestra - Dust (Floex Remix)
Hidden Orchestra - Flight:  Lush and enchanting, these tracks fuse some of the favourite smoothjazz Ninja Tune sounds with Ulrich Schnauss production values.  So so so good.

Jerreau (of Fly Union) - Dreams BankReau Can Buy:  Fricking smooooooth.

John Zorn - Dance of Albion:  Zorn has been making some sweet straight-ahead pleasant jazz these days.  And by "some", I mean "mountains".  But considering his total output, there's still mountains of scronk for everyone else.  I seriously think he doesn't sleep.  Someone check on him, make sure he's ok...   At the Gates of Paradise is smoothjazz wonderful.

Junior Boys - Banana Ripple:  My main problem with Junior Boys is that the best parts of their songs could be reduced to a 4 minute track, but ah well.  They're output isn't mostly for me, but this one is hard to shrug at.  Go ahead, try.  See?  No shrugs.  You can't do it.  Unshruggable.  The pop, she is too epic.

Justice - On'n'on:  Yeah, I'm as shocked that I like a Justice pop song just as much as you are.  Let's never mention this again and move on.

Owl Service - Fine Horseman (full version)
Owl Service - When a Man's in Love:  I had been listening to The Pattern Beneath the Plow off and on for months.  It's a little bit WTF.  Dark and shimmering folk music that you expect to be delivered from darkage bards.  It's a sprawling double CD set that might even give Joanna Newsom fans pause.  But it's totally hypnotic and worth just letting yourself be at it's mercy. 

Rich Aucoin - All You Cannot Live Without:  Aucoin gives us that refined ecstatic Canadian pop music that you know you love.  We're All Dying To Live is out now!

Star Slinger - Dumbin' ft Reggie B (Diplo Remix):  2 of my favourite beatsmiths drop another gem.  Classic.

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - No One Is (As I Are Be):  I wasn't in to much of Malkmus' discordant solo material but oh he's winning me over here.  From the new album Mirror Traffic.

Thee American Revolution - Electric Flame:  The way the guitar is in the mix reminds me of both 90s grunge and 60s psych.
