Issue #142
Featuring tracks from El Michels Affair, Florence Adooni, Big Thief, Mild Orange, The Beths, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Lorde, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Boston Bun, and Folamour.
Our son has been on an absolute heater listening to “Too Sweet” form Hozier double digit times per day. In one of the instances where we didn’t have to an instant repeat, “Ribs” from Lorde came on next. I had completely forgotten about the song and it still holds up.
Who else still holds up is LCD Soundsystem. They were passing through town last week so I got to catch them along with TV On The Radio. I never listened much to LCD but had heard from enough people that if you ever get the chance to see them you have to. What those guys do…just absolute freaks on their respective instruments.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise (see Issues #115 and #60) and Medium Build (see Issue #40, #61, #92, and #108) were playing the next night and got to catch them as well. Medium Build ended up being everything I hoped he would be between his stage presence and the way his voice carried through live. Highly highly recommend catching them live.
Looking for new music? Love art? Every week I create a short, five track playlist of the songs I am feeling at the moment along with a beautiful, found postcard. It’s a spark of joy for your eyes and ears.
