And for the second week in a row, five becomes six. Here we go...
MAZZY STAR-California:
They have returned this summer to release Seasons of Your Day, their first cd since 1996. They haven't strayed from the haunting yet dreamy sound we have are used to, and that is a good thing. Love this.
VOLCANO CHOIR-Acetate:
I heard this song numerous times during the week and every time I thought it was Modest Mouse or Bon Iver. Well, I was halfway right. Turns out, the band is a collaboration between Justin Vernon from Bon Iver and a band called Collections of Colonies of Bees. I haven't listened to any other songs of theirs, but this one stood out of songs I heard this week.
SAVAGES-She Will:
All girl art-post-punk band from London. Very cool intense music from their debut album Silence Yourself. Awesome.
BEST COAST-This Lovely Morning:
The west coast is the best coast from this California band. This tune from their EP Fade Away which was just released a few weeks ago.
EDITORS-Smokers Outside The Hospital:
First song from their second album, An End Has a Start, which was released back in 2007. I shazamed this song because I forgot all about them and wanted to remind myself to start listening to them again. I had seen them a few times live and really liked them but I guess I just forgot about them. I've always like this band and their sound. Looks like they have put out 2 cd's since this release, one as recently as this past summer. Looks like I have some catching up to do.
THE YOUNG-HOLT UNLIMITED-Soulful Strut:
Ending this week with some cool old school soulful jazz that was released 45 years ago this month. YHU were formed out of the Ramsey Lewis Jazz Trio and released 12 cd's between 1966 and 1973. This jam was the stand out from all of their releases.
