hazy autumn, you trickster//Inside The Weather Is Cool
Four Tet - Love Cryso happy to hear this scot back in action. i wasn't a big fan of his collaboration with burial, which produced two tracks of dark, drawn out electronica think-pieces that felt like unpolished jams rather than works of attention care that X mr/ tet's back catalogue. i can feel carpet fur crawling up my socks, rubbing against my skin and leaving marks to remind me of dirty nights on the basement floor. its all about the groove, and the steady beat keeps your head moving through the intermittent explosions of sampled vocals. one for the wax heads, one for the headphones, one for the jazz fiends and nu-sex fiends. the ending is so quintessential four tet i had a wide grin on first listen.

Boards of Canada - Seven Forty Sevenanother downbeat electronica giant released new material, and i am so happy to be a fan of this genre. boc are the kings of their own wild, the fuzz as jesters and the beats as the court in which they dance a dusty slowdance with their queen, canadian tv show samples. insects and hazlenuts, crunchy leaves and a bubbly sneeze, two skips over acid puddles and three hits over winter snuggles. those windows aren't frosted, they're alive; your hot chocolate isn't dripping, it's escaping; this track ain't growing, it's evolved.

Tamma's Music Box - Wasn't Born To Followa Byrds cover. the voice haunts my thoughts, and the layers of subtlety give me audiophile boners. everything about this track is perfect. please download and give it at least three spins, and get lost in the woods of this beautiful piece by a relatively unknown with a fancy looking website.

if it's not enough
to return inside and expect nothing more
than the warmth of a mother's hug,
the gruff of a father's grin,
and the practiced gestures from friends old,
their eyes thicker but as welcoming as before,
to make you smile and thankful, still,
for twenty years luck and a few more
in the cards
(fingers crossed)
then i think it best
you settle for less.

Candy for The Deaf and Blind//and away away we flow
entirely your own, embodied and effervescent, a fiction of life present
Julianna Barwick - You Were Waiting (Daytrotter Session)Tallest Man On Earth - I Won't Be Found (Daytrotter Session)
big ups daytrotter. the lonesome sounds beautiful when accompanied by piano. if i were a hermit, i'd settle for the company of an instrument, but the spoiled ways of this ending decade leaves me demanding a recorder as well, because as good as solitude may ring in a cave or a cabin or a closet, i have developed a feverish propulsion to lay everything to tape, to relive a few moments later or to sink back into the trance inevitable when recording. daytrotter accomplishes just this: inviting a few into their studios and pressing the little red circle, until the chills are at peak and the hairs are stiff.

Thom Yorke - Hearing Damagedthe song travels in a distance mirroring physical hearing loss. by the end the sounds are increasingly grainy, pulsating, and fractured. it's always hard labeling an artist with the tagline 'genius,' but it's getting increasingly hard to deny that the genius suit looks good on thom.

Tamma's Music Box - Sounds of Symmetryso vibrant, these sounds of youth and dreams and majesty, harmonies fit for the weak and the strong and the dying or just born. hallowed in song, enriched with dripping reverb, and pleasure for any with the sense of imagination.

Florence + The Machine - You Got The Love (The xx Remix)this song deserves to be stuck in your bed for as long as you can bring yourself to feel sinned and saintly, backing music for meeting a lover or detaching a friendship, for losing yourself at a party, for emerging from a rain-soaked street corner into a coffeshop and coming face to face with your dream-life, for breaking up with your resolution and taking that puff, for spilling a drink into the ocean after plunging feet first, for brushing aside her hair and kissing her hips, for running your hands across his shoulders and clenching his back, for keeping those headphones fastened, for pressing your suit just to wear it while smoking a cigarette outside.
