Rediscovering old favorites, exploring the extensive catalogs of the greats, and pretty much finding new gems everywhere I look. Here’s a few worth checking for now, with a full fledged post dedicated to my favorite artist from [...]
An oldie but goodie from the excellent Art of No State record. Blue eyed electronic soul, heavy on the Rhodes.

That’s one hell of a live band right there, I wouldn’t mind just watching them cover other artists for hours on end just to see how [...]
