Weekly Playlist - Kickback

Kickbacks are a time to unwind with friends and chill out, although, they still seem to have those fun party vibes. Want a playlist that meshes the two together? Here's a little catalog that matches the contradiction perfectly!

Weekly Playlist - Summer Beach

School's out (for most of us) and summer is here! Time to hang out with friends, plan future road trips, and find excuses to shop our hearts out. With our new found freedom, there's no way we'll pass up the chance to take a trip to the beach! Here's a fun little playlist to help you montage your way to the waves.

Festival Fun!

The Fashion of Festivals 

Music Festivals!!!! With summer finally here, I have been hearing a whole lot of hype about the recent festivals coming up and it's getting me more and more pumped! I am attending a music festival in Canada and could not be more inspired right now on my outfit choices, accessories, makeup etc. (So excited!) I have had fun with making a few collages recently and below I decided to share one. Hope you get some inspiration!

The Her Soundtrack

Though I have failed to see the movie 'Her' so far, I have not failed to listen to the entire soundtrack at least 20 times. It is beautifully composed to be soft, emotional and just great music. I love it so much. The internet has 2 different tracks so I have provided both. 'The Moon Song' is by far my favorite listen. Enjoy!

Lil Ugly Mane

Three Sided Tape Volume One (2013) - Thirty two unreleased songs that weave together like The Avalanches' Since I Left You. Three Sided Tape is a hip-hop melting pot that feels like you're looking into Shawn Kemp's stream-of-consciousness outside of his Ugly Mane persona. Alternate versions of familiar songs like "Radiation" make a welcome appearance and oddballs like "Jesus Piece" and "Vudmurk" keep you on your toes.

Favorite Track: "Side One"

Listen to him here.

-Chris

Air France

No Way Down (2008) - Our friends in Sweden love the sun and it shows. No Way Down is the soundtrack to an endless summer filled with warm sand, Breton stripes, and young romance.

Favorite Track: "No Excuses"

Listen to them here.

-Chris

Time to Burn

Is.Land (2007) - French hardcore with a little bit of that New Orleans' sludge. This is angry, abrasive, and absolutely oppressive.

Favorite Track: "Nayeli"

Listen to them here.

-Chris

Caster

Caster (2012) - Caster is a dark and eclectic record that creates a fragmented image of urban nightlife. Claustrophobic and even uplifting at times, the jittery percussion and vocal samples create a great garage album without ever falling into Kindred worship.

Favorite Track: "All That Matters"

Listen to them here.

-Chris

Fugue

Years (2011) - This is not your typical, convoluted math rock album. Fugue takes us in for twenty seven minutes of clean melodies that emphasize tasteful beauty over fancy showmanship while also uniting jazz and prog rock seamlessly.

Favorite Track: "Vermilion Bird of the South"

Listen to them here.

-Chris

Netherlands

Silicon Vapors (2013) - A wild and playful rock record with soaring vocals and absurd lyrics. Netherlands embarks on a spacey journey reminiscent of Sleep's Holy Mountain, but with Lego bricks and Adderall in place of the green.

Favorite Track: "Deathling"

Listen to them here.

-Chris

Sea Oleena

Sleeplessness (2011) - Oleena takes up residence in our ears with a dreamy, folk record that gently rocks the senses. Sleeplessness' subdued sense of energy and youth hits notes of melancholy and bliss with seemingly no effort.

Favorite track: "Milk"

Listen to her here.
