blog 2014/01/14 - doors open if you know how


and so we go:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140114.zip


Andrea - All Yours:  Full synth wash bass plodder to get us going!

Applescal - Spring And Life:  There's something so technical and precise about this while also staying super warm and inviting.  I love it in all of its contridictions.

Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip - The Abstract & The Dragon:  While the new collab "fans wet dream" reunion mixtape wasn't a glorious revelation of all new craziness, this is a solid reminder that ATCQ still resonates well in to this century.  Admit it, you'd spend an hour just watching these two have a tea party.

Charles Bradley - Strictly Reserved For You:  Another solid bit of soul from the latest, Victim of Love.

Classixx - Stranger Love (RAC Mix):  Classsixx and pop, two dance pop flavours that go together perfectly.

Es Muss Sein - Those Eyes:  Lovely little folk that reminds me a bit of First Aid Kit.

Hundred Waters - Gather
Hundred Waters - Sonnet:  Parts of this album remind me of a stripped out Joanna Newsom, but more 60s folk and 90s triphop.

Land Of Kush - St Stefano
Land Of Kush - The Pit (Part 1):  This is just total glee.  Beautiful jazzy horns and then whooosh we switch in to a roundabout pop mode and nail it.

Los Campesinos! - What Death Leaves Behind:  Never count out the Campesinos, always always bringing it.

Maya Jane Coles - Not In My House:  all over this tech bounce ish.

Michael Jacket - Casino:  If we're going to go minimal, best also confuse my head as well.

Phosphorescent - A Charm, A Blade
Phosphorescent - Song for Zula:  Muchacho is the perfect Bon Iver chaser, and brings one closer to the country cottage feels.

The Invisible - Wings (Floating Points Remix):  Dreamy blips 4evah.
