Current guilty pleasure…
Reason 337 why I really want the long over due Andre 3000 album to come to life:
I’m only asking for 28 minutes of your time. 15 songs, at least half of them barely make it over 2 minutes each. Frankie Cosmos (Great Kline) is a 21 year old singer song writer and this is her 2nd full length release. I was aware of the first, slightly more aware of the EP that followed but have really taken to ‘Next Thing’. This was released around Easter but and its been a big part of my life since. It feels like I’ve had it for much longer than 4 months.
What you will hear is 15 guitar driven pretty pop songs and beautifully crafted if delightfully simple lyrics. If you can spare the time, to sit and listen with the lyrics at hand it is a great experience. Ms. Cosmos extracts heart lifting significance from the mundane and almost never fails to make me smile. I am sucker for singer songwriters, I love the focus that one person pouring their heart out provides. This is a great example.
I hope you enjoy. As I say, its only 28 minutes. You could listen to it 2.5 times for every ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ or ‘Malibu’ so you have no excuse not to get involved if you don’t like it first time.
Look out for Floated In, Embody, On the Lips, Sinister.
Pitchfork reviews and article if you’re interested?
A nice easy tap-in but Sarah from Hot Chip / NZCA Lines goes solo and it’s as you’d expect from someone who’s improving as steadily as she is.
A bit late discovering this, but I love it.
New De La Soul…
A bit of a guilty pleasure, but I’m looking forward to the new Two Door Cinema Club album.
This has a real neo soul feel to it from the early 90’s. Love it!
Loving this!!
