[Notable Album Release] Kacey Johansing – Many Seasons

Kacey Johansing, based in San Fransisco, makes soft pop folk music that would definitely do Harlem well when they make it back to the States for their Chai tea and hot towels.

Tennis

Who doesn’t love a good husband and wife musical duo? I certainly don’t dislike them. Denver duo Tennis is Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore, another great example of a marriage between music and marriage (it works, leave me alone).

But from what I can tell, they were a talented group of musicians who covered English songs for a Mexican crowd, on top… Continue reading Los Apson

[MP3] Sweet Track: “Upon Joining The Army”

After reading the short blurb for Sweet Track, a highly unknown artist with a mere 52 plays scrobbled on last.fm, I was…confused: Some where between the lost tapes of your youth and the controversy of chillwave fits Sweet Track, creating that irritatingly familiar yet new sound that’s made for basking in comfortable nostalgia while staying… Continue reading [MP3] Sweet Track: “Upon Joining The Army”

Spring Summer

I’ve had this one sitting around for a little while, but now that we’ve received 100 degree weather and cooling thunderstorms on back-to-back days I figured it was a good time to post about an artist named “Spring Summer”…don’t you agree? What can I say, I’m a man with a plan! Spring Summer, aka Jennifer… Continue reading Spring Summer
