Sunday Slow Down




Imagine yourself dropped into the middle of a lush, thick misted, and mystical jungle then launched into a warm spacescape where you become part of an abstract intergalactic light show. Say what? That’s just one of many feelings I get listening to Shabazz Palaces. Get familiar with this duo from Seattle, WA if you haven’t yet. They are the future of hip – hop and their debut full-length, Black Up will drop on June 28 via Sub Pop and surely impact everyone’s best of 2011 lists. (See GvB) Listen Below:

MP3: Swerve... The reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding)



Next up comes from a different realm. Mr. Ty Segall from San Francisco, CA will release Goodbye Bread this Tuesday, June 21, his first on Drag City records. For those familiar with Ty you’ll find him singing a bit more here than previously, and it works, cutting the fuzz in a way that leaves each track equally fulfilling.

Listen to his warm croon and signature catchy and often fuzzy guitar on the album’s title track, Goodbye Bread below:
