Dirty Projectors - Rise Above

Very creative duo based in Brooklyn. Each track is unique on this album and they incorporate mad musical styles. Rise Above is the ultimate song of freedom that speaks to the human imagination. A protest song in friendly harmonies... "We are tired of your abuse. Try to stop us but it's no use." Just those 2 words... rise above... speak volumes. Think. Listen. One

Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

Love this band live. I liked this album from the first listen. They kinda sold out for doing a song in English, but they pulled out some amazing music for this one. More upbeat but the same Sigur Ros feel. Also you have to watch Heima, a film they shot in their home country of Iceland. They play a marimba made of rock flakes with 100 year old rhubarb in an ice cave. Can't make this stuff up. Enjoi the new style for the casual listener.

Hudson Mohawke - Polyfolk Dance

Dopeness from U.K. beatmakers Hudson Mohawke. This is a nice EP from Warp Records, a label that hosts some of the most progressive electronic musicians around. Hip-hop and electronic heads will enjoi this number. I am looking forward to the full length from these cats. Comparisons have been made to Flying Lotus, Ras G and did I hear some Dilla influences in there? Some spaced out funk and heavy synth layered over crisp drum tracks make this a must for the headphones. Peace.

Blue Sky Black Death - Slow Burning Lights

Blue Sky Black Death are a production team from Seattle who have found a unique style combining heavy bass with raw samples and electronic music. They have collaborated with some of the best MCs in the underground, including Hieroglyphics crew and Wu-Tang affiliates. On this album the duo is fronted by female vocalist Yes Alexander, a newcomer in the Portland indie scene. There is an ambient feel to the album, creating landscape sounds with drum claps reminiscent of their previous release, Late Night Cinema. The difference is the amazing ability of Yes Alexander to use her incredible range to create emotion in the songs. Her voice has a very organic sound and you will probably be wondering why you have never heard of her before. Enjoi.

Jazz Liberatorz - Clin D'oeil

Jazz Liberatorz are diggin those old jazz loops and laying down amazing beats with some of the best lyricists dropping vocals about the music that has influenced them. Take notes because the cats on this record breathe hip-hop and jazz music. Appearances from Tre and Fat Lip of the one and only Pharcyde, Sadat X of Brand Nubian and Buckshot of Black Moon. These groups laid the foundation for crate digging and beat production with jazz breaks, kick drums, high hats, snares, and of course razor sharp lyrics. The Jazz Libz carry on the intelligence that has always been a part of hip-hop but has been has been buried in the underground as of late. This album is about sharing a passion for hip-hop and jazz and creativity in all aspects of life. "If you down with Digable Planets you a hipster...." and you should be down with the Jazz Libz. One.
