If anyone is looking for peaceful and atmospheric music to listen to while reading, working, or reflecting I highly recommend listening to Slow Meadow's self titled album. This album has been taking over my quiet times and has helped focus my mind. The ambient landscape created on this album surrounds you with lighter-than-air strings and piano providing a beautiful background for deep thought. If anyone gives it a listen let me know what you think. #slowmeadow #instrumental #ambient #chambermusic http://ift.tt/2lsiY4z

The XX have finally released their new album I See You and I can't stop listening. Approaching 20 cycles of this album in 24 hours, I find myself dancing and singing while still reflecting in the honest and emotional lyrics. On this release The XX displays a new side of their sound while never losing their identity of a minimalist rock band. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I See You is a fantastic example of how an album can move from a collection of songs to a complete work of art because of its arrangement. The songs you hear can be strong standing alone but when heard in the context of the album they take on new meaning. The arrangement gives the listener a complete story of why The XX is stepping out of their comfort zone and what they want to say. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Songs such as Hold On and Dangerous don't seem outlandish for The XX with their upbeat sound when sitting next to Brave For You and Say Something Loving. From the start I See You shows that it will be different but by the end you are convinced this was the natural progression they were meant to take. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I look forward to receiving their physical box set of this album where I can take in the full quality of the production backing these songs. Jamie XX clearly has hit his stride with this album and it sounds flawless. 2017 musically is off to an amazing start with this release and I look forward to what other artist will bring to the table this year. #thexx #iseeyou #jamiexx http://ift.tt/2irWFan

My favorite albums of 2016 With a lot of great artists redefining their sounds and new artists emerging, 2016 has been an interesting year in music. James Blake is finally getting the recognition he has deserved for years. Bon Iver did some weird things, taking big risks that ended up paying off. Then Daughter bared their souls on their heart wrenching release. I look forward to listening to these albums into the new year and seeing what 2017 has to offer. 1. The Colour in Anything - James Blake 2. 22, a million - Bon Iver 3. Not To Disappear - Daughter 4. Beyond Control - Kings Kaleidoscope 5. Sprained Ankle - Julien Baker 6. Blonde - Frank Ocean 7. The Bones of a Dying World - If these trees could talk 8. Ology - Gallant 9. Light We Made - Balance & Composure Honorable mentions: Low Teens - Every Time I Die "Awaken, My Love" - Childish Gambino #jamesblake #boniver #daughter #kingskaleidoscope #julienbaker #frankocean #gallant #ifthesetreescouldtalk #balanceandcomposure http://ift.tt/2iNEHiR

Throwing it back to when Grace and I had a weekend of nostalgia seeing Willy Wonka and then Space Jam. Moments after this picture was taken she was kissed by an Oompa Loompa. #tbt #oompaloompa #wonkabar #streetfoodcinema http://ift.tt/2gZ0xTR

This last weekend at Disneyland with the family was a blast. It was fantastic to see Sawyer and Nora react to all the aspects of the park and really enjoy the magic it has to offer. #disneyland #disney #californiaadventure #California http://ift.tt/2gl9wxA

Huck is a charming comic telling the story of a kind hearted man with super powers living in a small town. He does good deeds around the town simply because he cares. When people outside the town catch wind of his powers Huck has to cope with his new found fame and everything that comes with it. Mark Millar has created a character everyone will fall in love in this touching and exciting story. If the story isn't enough to make you love this comic then the art by @rafaelalbuquerque81 will convince you. This has easily become one of my favorite comics this year. @missharleyr from @blastoffcomics was spot on as always with this fantastic recommendation. #blastoffcomics #noho #huck #huckcomic #markmillar #imagecomics http://ift.tt/2fmWvQ1

Today a new Childish Gambino was announced for December and The XX announced their album for January. I couldn't ask for a better way to close and open these years. I am loving this new Gambino song and I can't wait to hear the madness he unleashes on the rest of his album. #childishgambino #thexx #meandyourmama #awakenmylove https://www.instagram.com/p/BMqabdBgqCR/

Going to a Verve coffee is always a special experience for me. The moment I realized what good coffee could taste like was at a Verve in Santa Cruz. The experiences was a revelation that opened my eyes to a world of flavors and a vibrant and active coffee culture. Since then I haven't looked back and I am always in pursuit for the best cup of coffee. #vervecoffee #coffee #kenyacoffee #pourover #dtla http://ift.tt/2f6uhsZ

Two episodes into the new season of Black Mirror and I am sucked back in. Thank the Lord Netflix saved one of the best shows from an early death. If you haven't watched this show I highly recommend giving it a try. The first episode will make you cringe but it only gets better and better with every short dark sci-fi journey. #blackmirror #netflix #bbc http://ift.tt/2eq0kqw

James Blake is a breath of fresh air in electronic music. Blake is able to craft unique arrangements accompanied by his beautifully soulful vocals. Live Blake showed LA tonight that electronic music can still be composed live, in a time where that art has been completely lost. I have been wanting to see him perform live for years and I am glad I finally had the chance. My expectations were extremely high for tonight and his performance, accompanied by jaw dropping visually, blew alway all my expectations. This performance has solidified him as one of my favorite modern artists and possibly one of my favorite musicians of all time. #jamesblake #palladium #losangeles #kcrw #thecolourinanything http://ift.tt/2ee7Nvb

"Between sharks and kings, It doesn't matter much to me." So this must be what @mkhrnc was talking about in Sailor's Prayer. #tdwp #sailorsprayer #lakings #thedevilwearsprada http://ift.tt/2ehoWDv
