The first draft of this post was written as a gangster selling you drugs–only with music instead. It got too silly and offensive. These songs mean more to me than that. Have a listen.
Zach Condon (of Beirut) – “Venice”
If you like Beirut but felt they were a little too avante garde for you this solo work from Zach Condon will hit just the right spot.
Of Montreal – “Nonpareil of Favor”
Epic and intense. There are four contrasting movements in this opus. Don’t let the first one or two fool you…not for the faint of ear.
Jeffery Lewis – “Together We Form Jeff”
Anti-folk in all its glory. Jeff Lewis tapes himself twice, one over the other, being different sides of his personality. Charmingly homemade.
Diane Cluck – “Easy to be Around”
I’m just getting to know her, but she impresses me already. Having done a few duets with Jeff Lewis, she has automatic street cred.
Yeasayer – “Wait for the Summer”
Tribal and fun. These guys were my first concert in Milwaukee. Woot!
