CHVRCHES, Recover

CHVRCHES and sci-fi music videos featuring floating 3D shapes go together like M83 and sci-fi music videos featuring floating shapes.

Chlöe Howl, Rumour

I am getting a little tired of the words to the songs appearing in fancy font over music videos thing, but otherwise, I’m into this video.

Oh wow. I have most of these tracks floating around my iTunes library, but how terrific is it to finally have them as a cohesive album? Jordan’s covers of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ and the Misfits’ ‘Astro Zombies’ remain two of my favorite covers of all time. Also, there was a saddish point in my life where I would put ‘And It Pours’ on repeat and just wallow in that song and it felt terrific. Still worth a wallow.

And ‘Judy’ will go down as one of my favorite Columbia, SC songs ever. One of those songs that not only was by a local artist and friend, but that actually evokes times, places, and faces. And all the faces are singing along.

So um yeah. Go download it with my highest possible recommendation.

forkandspoonrecords:

Jordan Blackmon is one-third of the guts and body of Fork & Spoon Records. He helps make sure we are doing things we can be proud of and are doing them the right way, and also does all of the Casual Friday drawings. He also makes really amazing songs under the name Pussy Wizard. A long time before Pussy Wizard, he made beautiful songs under the name Brave Horatius. In high school/college, a lot of us spend a lot of time playing and recording these songs in various forms with Jordan (though he was never fully satisfied with the results) as each and every new Brave Horatius song became our new favorite song. 

I’m really glad a lot of these recordings are finally housed in a “complete” collection. It’s a perfect introduction to the roots of Pussy Wizard (and another step closer to me not having to burn so many people copies of my old CD-r’s that my friends put out that are still good).

Kishi Bashi, A Sunday Smile (Beirut cover)

I’ll buy that for a dollar.

nprmusic:

Known for his live looping, Kishi Bashi got together with a string quartet to cover one of his favorite Beirut songs.

Watch “A Sunday Smile” now.

The Birthday Kiss - Can You Keep a Secret?

A good way to kick off the weekend.

Probably not going to be good at keeping a secret about songs this fun. The duo, Leeds’ Ben Siddall and London’s Sarah Williams may be in different cities, but the chemistry they’ve found feels timeless.

Pre-order their debut 7” b/w “Worth It” now, out April 8th on Death Party Records.

ICYMI YVYNYL shows The Birthday Kiss some love! Their debut 7” is available for preorder NOW at THE DEATH PARTY SUPPLIES STORE

I own this original artwork. It’s by the amazing Ryan Kelly.  #humblebragreblog
