New Listens 9/1-9/3: Jamiroquai, Portishead, Outkast
Did somebody say 90’s? (yeah, Jamiroquai album was 2001, ok. stfu) Only feel like reading about music you think you might like? I get it. Use these links to jump to reviews on albums from Jamiroquai (R&B., Funk?) Portishead (? I don’t know. Groovy?) and Outkast (Hip hip hip hip hop!). Jamiroquai – A Funk Odyssey (R&B, Funk, but Continue reading

New Listens 8/16 – 8/18: Shuggie Otis, Daft Punk, The Strokes
All over the musical map with this one. The only trifecta that could top this would be a three album review of Chief Keef, Britney, and Bach. Sounds great. Only feel like reading about music you think you might like? I get it. Use these links to jump to reviews on albums from Shuggie Otis Continue reading

Discovery – Daft Punk
Daft Punk’s 2001 Discovery is one of the best things to ever come from electronic/house music and I don’t think that’s really up for debate. Completely ignoring the fact that this album has a movie attached to it that can be seen as converting the album to a linear soundtrack for a film (which, by Continue reading

First off, this is totally one of the not for you, but for me (remember there was a variation of that tier for my long Continue reading

Anything in Return – Toro y Moi
A staple of my blog, Toro y Moi aka Chaz Bear’s 2013 release Anything in Return really put him on the map, marking a transition from chillwave to more traditional house music. For many, songs like Rose Quartz and So Many Details strongly associate this album with riding around in GTA V. Core memories. Overall Continue reading

Mahal – Toro y Moi
The second Toro y Moi album to grace this blog, and perhaps not the last. Chaz’s most recent record is definitely a step in a different direction – though that is to be expected with his career arch, which has been chillwave to house to psych rock, back to house, and now this sort of Continue reading

BUBBA – Kaytranada
Yes, I know his name is capitalized. If this ever gets back to KAYTRANADA blame it on WordPress formatting. Revisited this album from one of my favorite producers of all time, a Canadian man named Louis. KAYTRANADA’s beats have a really distinct feel to them – often coming off like a mix of house with Continue reading

Outer Peace – Toro y Moi
I am a sucker for house loops. Especially ones with some funky grooves. Toro y Moi – or Chaz Bear – is certainly one of the best house artists out right now. Biggest problem with this album for me is the songs that aren’t house, and some of his songwriting lacks in places. Nonetheless, he Continue reading
