@jam-a-day
Lone - Meeker Warm Energy. Nod your head, bounce with me. This whole album kinda kills it. It's an opinionated fusion of jazz, hip-hop, 90s house and deep electronic grooves. If the record turned in one direction it would be a rap album, and in the other direction maybe acid jazz. Bummed I missed out on the limited edition clear neon yellow vinyl. Damnit. Looking forward to hearing more from this guy.
Glass Animals - Gooey. It's not often I pre-order a debut album on vinyl from a band I've never heard of before... But after listening to just a couple tracks from this UK band, I was sold. Very excited to hear what the rest of their jams sound like. This one is smooth. And there's a video.
Blood Orange - Uncle Ace. I know everyone’s been talking about Blood Orange for a while, but he’s one of those acts I think it’s ok to just keep talking about and obsess over. I’ve had this track in my library since the beginning of the year, but it’s really been the last few weeks that this song and entire album have audibly changed my life. It’s like we’re living in a David Lynchian Dark City, and Twin Shadow and PM Dawn had an orgy with Prince in an underground club. Sexy sax? Check. And the key change at almost 4 minutes in? It makes me cry. Jesus. Can’t get enough of this one.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - Run. This sounds so fresh it makes me want to sniff citrus peels. DEJJ new dance pop, January 2014. Video ain't bad.
Chuck Inglish (feat. Chromeo) - Legs. Shades of soul with a disco beat. Dance dance dance.
Pharrell - Happy. If this doesn't make you feel like doing jumping jacks on top of a rainbow beaming from a unicorn's ass, then I don't know what will. It might be the catchiest song ever made—I've listened to it about 30 times since I first heard it last night, and the video plays off the tune's catchiness with 24 hours of video footage of random folks happily dancing their butts off.
David Bowie - Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Remix by James Murphy for the DFA). Just. Hm. Well, fuck. This is all I need to carry me through till the end of the year, basically. Epic. And if you've never heard Steve Reich before, either, then look him up.
Son Lux - Easy. There's something really witchy and darkly satisfying about this track. The composer behind Son Lux, Ryan Lott, makes this cleverly and complicatedly layered track sound easy, through some smooth production and composition trickery. It starts off reminiscent of a Portishead track, then dips into 1930s horror film zone, then shifts over to into a kind of James Blake territory. It's sulking, softly grinding, yet powerful. Download it free here.
Lorde - Royals (Chuck Wild Bootleg Remix). This song is great on its own, but there's something fun and extra dancey I dig about this sly remix. And I didn't realize how YOUNG this girl is - she's like 16. Jesus. That's fairly badass. Anyway, the whole album is wonderful, get in it.
Moderat - Damage Done. Moderat's latest album, is one of the few I've pre-ordered on vinyl in my life, ever. And I certainly didn't regret it. This track is a standout for me—with a slow, gutteral, milky sparseness that's reminiscent of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight". There's something so well-produced about this track that I just can't get deep enough into it... but every time I hear it, I want to.
Kavinsky feat. The Weeknd - Odd Look. I haven't had time to update this blog lately, and that sucks. But I've definitely been listening to some jams, this one in particular for the last few months. Like a lot of Kavinsky songs, this one takes you on a late-night summer lamborghini ride through empty city streets, en route to a speakeasy house party with hookers and cocaine. And as a sidenote, if Michael Jackson hadn't been a weirdo recluse alleged child molester plastic surgery face, maybe parallel-universe Michael would have put out a jam like this. And if not, he should have.
Icona Pop feat. Zebra Katz - My Party. Calling it now, this is a jam. Cut to this song being played at every middle and high school dance from Sheboygan to Honolulu. And at every house party, birthday party, I-just-lost-my-job party, frat party, who-gives-a-fuck-party. Because IT'S MY FUCKING PARTY AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO.
Paul Simon - Call Me Al (Flight Facilities Edit). Last week I had the pleasure of seeing James Murphy play a DJ set. Epic. And this was one of the tracks he led with. You can't go wrong with Paul Simon, and this remix is the tits. 'Twas a classic and epic night.
Glasser - Shape. I've been listening to a lot of Glasser lately, and today she released this new track. I'm into it. Sounds very Bjork-ish but less obscure or abstract than a lot of Bjork's more recent stuff. Maybe closer to Grimes, but more ethereal and less aggro. She has a new album dropping in October, and my expectations are high.
Francis And The Lights - Etc. You kind of can't go wrong with some simple soulful piano, handclaps and riffing on The Beach Boys. Wish I was in a room with this dude somewhere, jamming out on the piano at 2am with a couple Black Maple Hill bourbons. I mean, yeah, let's do it.
Dead Girlfriends - Stop Pretending. Formerly from Elite Gymnastics, James Brooks has a new project, and it's called Dead Girlfriends. To be honest, I haven't posted much new music lately, because I haven't heard much that's interesting. But this track actually inspired me to post. Something about it sounds kinda like the old Primitive Radio Gods song, Standing Outside A Broken Phonebooth With Money In My Hand. Anyway, I liked it. And you can buy the entire EP on Bandcamp for the low price of $8.
Blood Diamonds - Phone Sex (feat. Grimes). Because it's summer, y'all.
