In 2012, attempts to stay ahead of readers’ innate desires resulted in a collective throwing up of hands. Think pieces and reviews still existed, but they were accompanied by other attempts to lure readers: Trifles like album titles and track listings treated as news items worthy of their own “stories” (to maximize the possibility of people tripping over their fingers and into a unique view); artists out of the public spotlight for more than six months unearthed as if they were creatures from another dimension; Tweets and other public statements by artists taken out of context and drained of their tone so as to stoke “WTF” headlines; superlative-laden lists not even aimed at expressing an opinion in count-downable form; posts with factual errors seen as hits to institutional credibility and opportunities to wring double the traffic out of one story.

Swallows Fly Low - June

UK producer, Swallows Fly Low just made me aware of the music he’s been making, and boy I am I glad he did. Rich infectious beats, infused with a lot of organic guitar, and poignant samples. He’s just recently dropped a whole 13-track collection of these beautiful sounds. You can grab Constructions for free.

**and don’t miss out on his great photography as well
