weekly rec: here we go magic
Here We Go Magic‘s 2012 release, A Different Ship, has been one I find myself coming back to on a frequent basis. Every song has a unique charm. Here’s a simple tune showcasing Luke Temple’s solid songwriting skills.
weekly rec: drew & ellie holcomb
Drew Holcomb & Ellie Holcomb recently released an amazing single, “Electricity.” I can guarantee that this will make Favorite Songs of 2019 list.
weekly rec: bloc party
I was reminded of and revisited Bloc Party‘s 2005 debut, Silent Alarm, this past week. Here’s one of the many strong tunes.
weekly rec: zeus
While checking out Dan Mangan‘s Chicago show, this past week, I randomly recognized one (possibly two) members of his band, as members of the band, Zeus. That made me revisit their excellent 2010 release, Say Us.
weekly rec: kevin drew
Kevin Drew, know primarily through Broken Social Scene fame, released his fantastic sophomore solo album, Darlings, in 2014. This guitar lick was stuck in my head most of last week.
weekly rec: the redwalls
It’s too bad that The Redwalls called it quits. This band was the closest thing to a modern day Beatles.
weekly rec: eluvium
The music of Eluvium is always a good source for taking my mind off of things and escaping the chaos in this world.
weekly rec: hior
Hior is one of my first discoveries of 2019. I missed the boat on his impressive 2018 release, Descent, as this definitely would’ve been in my top 25 albums.
