| Dent May. |
But let's embrace the summer while it's still going strong huh!? Here are three new tunes I found today, and I've spiced them up with a pair of old faves and a gorgeous new viddy at the end!
Dent May is on Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label, and here's a new cut from him called 'Wedding Day'. It's very funky and pretty 70s!
Digging through the Forkcast for the first time in a few days, I stumbled on Airbird, which is the solo project of Joel Ford of Ford & Lopatin, whose album I bought about a month ago. The kinship is pretty obvious, with 80s synths abound, but there's a bit more of a house'y beat to this tune called 'City vs. Mountains'.
Also on the Forkcast, I found Norwegian outfit Razika. Now, I'm pretty unconditionally fond of everything female that sings in Norwegian and Swedish, and 'Aldri' is another good example - really likeable!
Now, I mentioned I'd throw in a few old loves here. First of all, I've had a renaissance for Kings of Convenience as of late, and I feel like throwing 'Love Is No Big Truth' at you lot. This is one of this outfit's more up tempo tunes, uncharacteristically sporting a four-on-the-floor beat, and really a lovely song. Usually heralded less for their lyrics than for their general relaxing mood, I do feel that Øye and Bøe strike some sort of lyrical gold here, in a cynical sort of way.
A few months ago, I bought Girls' Album without much further fanfare (as I already had part of it lying around), because I was slightly disappointed by it perhaps. They're out with a new album soon however, which might be worth checking out, although they're right on the borderline of what I dig and diss in Californian music right now. 'Lust For Life' is a fucking massive tune though!
Finally, Bon Iver's second single off Bon Iver is 'Holocene' (c'mon man, why not 'Towers'??), and he/they just posted the vid for it today. It's very pretty, but also, sorry, a bit faggg... Go check it out anyway!
