My birthday month, Father’s Day, and summer solstice: June is such a great month, and there was lots of good new music too. I also got on some oldies too, like Steve Miller’s Fly Like An Eagle and Melvin Spark’s Spark Plug, both of which are classics. Sunny days are here indeed.
Crackazat – SUN
Who is this dude!? What’s with the crazy name? Don’t know, but the music is so damn good.
Vince Staples – Cry Baby
When I heard this was a rock concept album (from a hip-hop artist) I was prepared to dislike it but it, uh, rocks. I like it a lot.
Boards of Canada – Inferno
I’ve never listened to this band, but it looks like they are well-loved/lauded in the general musicdom. It’s ambient and instrumental and I’m really digging it as a work/morning soundtrack.
Rosa Brunello – We Are Surging Waters
Crazy energy, percussion, and horns on this. Great jazz album.
Johnny Blue Skies – Mutiny After Midnight
Johnny Blue Skies aka Sturgill Simpson is my kinda country dude.
Other albums that I’ve been jamming to:
- Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa – Roofless Records for Drop Tops: Disc 2
- Death Cab for Cutie – I Built You A Tower
- Martyn – Music for Existing
- Moses Yoofee Trio – CHASING LIGHT
- Melvin Sparks – Spark Plug
- Steve Miller Band – Fly Like An Eagle
Remember to support the artists you love, and if you want to peruse some of the previous new music posts from this year, do it!
