Chiptunes Jazz Fusion straight outta Nashville. Do you need more incentive than that?Â
Pale Houses – Self-Titled
Are you familiar with the works of Aaron Robinson? He used to front a band called Imaginary Baseball League, he’s released solo material and he’s back with his newest project – Pale Houses. Robinson’s distinctive voice continues to be the driving, stand-out element through each melancholy song but music backing him is built wonderfully around it. It’s safe to say these songs are emotional but that shouldn’t be taken as a pejorative. Robinson’s voice and craft are always welcome.

I
magine what a new single from Magnolia Sons would sound like. “A Piece Worth Picking Up” is that single. It’s a traditional R&B burner that I am sure hits even harder live.
Black Cat Sylvester – WOO HAH (Busta Rhymes Tribute)
You may remember Black Cat Sylvester from his Freeloading Freddie video and this is much the same – showcasing his turntable / synth table. It’s hard to get a gauge for what is actually happening in the video so I suggest watching these showcase videos to see what’s happening in a live environment. Not only is it impressive but it sounds great.

This latest Matt Moody song
is Grade-A Fucking Rock and Roll. So good.
Eldorado – We Leave Only Ashes
Never let it be said that good cover art can’t help you discover some new music. Knowing nothing of this project except that it featured THAT GUY and was filed under #folk I was in for a treat.. especially when it became painfully obviously that the singer behind the undertaking is none other than Eef Barzelay (sure that’s obvious if you pay attention to website URL’s but that’s neither here nor there).
Typically I would never recommend a straightforward man+acoustic, earnest bit of storytelling but Barzelay’s voice is so distinctive and on point that it’s not something you can quickly shy away from.

Loving this Los Colognes
video for “Working Together”. Brilliant way to keep people watching – and legitimately entertaining too.

Inertia One – Ending Fourth EP
I can’t help it, I love instrumental hip-hop laden with samples. I’m sure a more attuned ear might say that this isn’t breaking any molds but so what? It knows what it does and it does it damn well. Your head will bob. Promise.
Kyle Andrews – “Crystal Ball”
I’m having a hard time getting into the song but any video directed by Seth Graves featuring a party is good by me.
