Stricken City‘s newest album, Songs About People I Know, dropped today on The Kora Records, and while I have not heard the entire album yet, the preview tracks provide plenty of incentive to do so.

Akudama drops free November EP, Thumbelina
After KR took a month’s hiatus from the Akudama boys, they’re back again with Thumbelina – their latest, free, monthly EP. The stunning range of styles Akudama manages to incorporate into their music is admirable and unique. “Thumbelina”, the title track, is very beach boys-y during the choruses and soft and folksy during the verses.… Continue reading Akudama drops free November EP, Thumbelina

The… Continue reading [MP3] ARMS: “Tiger Tamer”

[MP3] Athlete: “Don’t Hold Your Breath”…(and other relevant news)
I won’t lie – I’ve been an Athlete fan for quite some time now. While inconsistencies have no doubt been a major problem for the British quartet, they still manage to capture my attention with several songs. “Tourist” and “Airport Disco”, in particular, always renew my faith in Athlete’s ability when they come up on… Continue reading [MP3] Athlete: “Don’t Hold Your Breath”…(and other relevant news)
