CSLSX
“Keep On Shining”
I. LOVE. CSLSX.
Futuretapes was part of the first day of posting waaay back at the begging of this blog. It was the sound of last summer for me so I was stoked to hear they released another heat-stroked jam yesterday just in time for the days of sun. Lovin’ the Brothers Johnson rip.
Dangerous Ponies
“On A Liner Part. I”
The genre blending On a Liner Part. I jumps out of it’s already frenetic paces as something a bit different from the rest. It begins as a modern American Pie, and makes it way through 70’s AM, touches of soul, folk, and straight stoner rock all in the span of 3:01.
Check out the delightful full length Dangerous Ponies from these, on tour now, Philly natives at Bandcamp and Big Cartel.
Gracie
“Bones”
Philly’s Andrew Balasia goes under the name Gracie and delivers minimalist dreamy pastiche pop with flourishes of chillwave-ness and R ‘n B. It’s mostly just relaxing so it’s a great way to end the long week.
His For Summer EP dropped this week via dig label Absent Fever. Get it.
Night Panther
“Snudge”
This is pretty dope, like a lite Toro Y Moi
Look at this cover art! Just look at it! ”The sexy” is feelin’ you, bb. But don’t take this tongue-in-cheek artwork as a joke. While it may be “fueled by sex, synths and Phil Collins,” duo Farzad Houshiarnejad and Mike Cammarata are zoned into a sound that feels about as velvety as their jackets. This is hot pop. Look out for more from these Philly boys soon.
Heard that people “flipped their shit” at their debut house party show a couple weeks ago, so I highly advise that you catch them tomorrow night at Johnny Brenda’s in Philly opening for We Are Serenades. Stay up to date on their Tmblr.
