Track Of The Day – “Early Jive” @killamausThis track takes the biscuit for the most bizarre track I’ve heard this year. And I’ve heard a LOT of bizarre tracks. But that’s okay because I like bizarre. It starts off with bleeps and boops, there are snippets of audio like birds chirping, a saxophone, piano and handclaps, …
This track made me smile as the references to Michael Caine are pretty cool, the cockney accents, the reference to his famous line from The Italian Job. Which is actually misquoted I’m not sure if that’s intentional or not – it’s supposed to be you’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off. But probably …
I was so happy when this made the Listening Post and faves! It was one of those songs that takes you back in time – the first clue is the cassette player opening up, before going into a song that’s got the Roland D-50 bells that were so popular back in 1987-89. It’s scary to …
This week marks 50 years since Stevie Wonder released this phenomenal album. It is a collection of songs that cover social justice, celebrating musical legends, parenthood and just a need to set the dancefloor alight. This song falls into the latter category, it’s got an infectious singalong chorus, percussion going wild, the whole band absolutely …
EDBL, ADY SULEIMAN & DAN WHITLAM – When You Were Mine edbl · When You Were Mine (feat. Dan Whitlam) EDBL is back in the building and suitably kicks things off with a track that’s nice and sparse – bass, guitars, vocals and drums. The bass has a dubby feel to it making it cross …
Ezra Collective dropped a new album! Let’s go. This is how the album opens up, and it’s read beautifully by Letitcia Wright – yep. Black Panther herself. She approaches the reading with gravity and reverence, and why not? Imagine someone like Sir Ian McKellen or Dame Judi Dench doing a reading? She’s giving it emotion …
Math Le Blanc by Meet Your Heroes So… I got sent this track for review. They called it Math Le Blanc. It’s the title track of their six track EP. I suddenly have a craving for a cup of coffee in an oversized cup but I will pass on the scone (MY SCONE), but maybe …
As we cling on the last strands of the summer this track is pretty apt, it’s a chilled reggae track featuring the late great reggae legend Lee Scratch Perry, this is dipped in spicy flavours with the dub feel to it, the bass rumbles through you and you hear Lee whisper a simple line:Singers and …
I chose this song because in the 1990s when I was at 6th Form we used to spice up the faculty meetings by adding music to it – I’d play the piano for when people came in and then one of my friends would sing, and this is one of our favourites. Why do I …
This is a sturdy indie pop track that carries the remainder of the summer in its chords and melodies. This song is about fighting adversities while keeping a brave face, it could come from all different sides – the second verse takes a turn where someone is introduced into the narration of the song, and …
