If you haven’t heard of Johnny Utah yet, it’s high time you familiarize yourself with this fellow, as he’s obviously a fabulous artist on the rise. Aside from what seems to be a penchant for the Point Break (in which Johnny Utah is dashingly played by Keanu Reeves in the original film), this bedroom pop whiz from Philadelphia is also a dashing crooner with much suave panache when it comes to funk imbued swooners. Just listen to his latest single, HONEYPIE, an instantly hooking, sprightly shimmying dose of lo-fi funk and pop. The 23 year old singer songwriter and producer melds the gooey soulful charm of Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s more perky offerings (my mind turns to Hunnybee, in particular) with the smooth swagger of Mk.Gee on HONEYPIE, all with a playful teasing strut. The single is out now via AWAL, here.

Hot Australian three piece made a resounding splash last year when they emerged with a blissfully inebriating “lo-funk” debut named Thinkin Of’, whose dreamy warped, soulful simmering swagger was simply irresistible. daste. now kicks off the year in fine fashion with their second release on Mammal Sounds Records. SOBER is another funky strutting swooner that propels daste. to the forefront of the new music scene. “We didn’t anticipate the reception it got when we released ‘Thinkin’ Of’, and it really told us to continue being ourselves in our approach. We do all the production ourselves which can be quite daunting at times, but we always enjoy the challenge and authenticity of being ‘homemade,” the three-piece states. SOBER’s warm infectious electro-funk and suave smoothness displays daste.’s on point songwriting panache and their debonair production skills. Stream/download SOBER, here.

George van den Broeck, the swooning lo-fi soul talent you probably know as Yellow Days, follows up on the success of his last single ‘How Can I Love You?’ with a brand new mellow grooving jam named ‘What’s It All For?’, out now on Columbia Records. We can never get enough of George’s wonky, foggy, and dreamy soul, so we welcome this new addition with glee. Following on his recent sold-out UK and European tour, which culminated with a night at London’s Electric Brixton last month, he dazzles us with another lilting, atmospheric record as we look ahead to a sure to be another huge year for him in 2019. He also just closed his fourteen date sold out tour here in the US, which included a return to SF earlier this month at Slim’s. ‘What’s It All For?’ is an inebriating, swanky dose of Yellow Days’ funk-imbued slacker soul, which drapes over us with that signature relaxed fit and loose caress. Stream/download ‘What’s It All For?’, here.

You know what I’m “thinkin’ of” right now? I’m wondrously pondering how blissfully inebriating this debut is, that’s what. Australian three piece daste. lands with a huge splash on debut single Thinkin’ Of, a dreamy warped, soulful simmering “lo-funk” jam, out on Mammal Sounds Records. Callum MacDonald, Braxton Tahi & Tyler Harden met in 2017 as session musicians. When they connected instantaneously, they decided to get together to write some tunes. We’re eternally grateful they made such a wise and prudent choice, because this troupe of songwriters, producers, and musicians has crafted a chillwavey funk ballad with a languorously sublime groove. It’s sort of like Yellow Days gone extra viscous and gooey on the funk and electro, with a hearty infusion of sweltering JMSN. daste.’s intoxicating debut is available now, here.
