Q-Tip: The Renaissance

I love A Tribe Called Quest and I'm happy Q-tip has a new album and is doing some great collaborations. Watch some videos here & here.

Paper Bird

A Colorado band that is pure sweetness.
If you get a chance, see them live at a smaller venue.
They tend to perform barefooted.

Brightblack Morning Light

This album has been a new discovery for me and has taken its place as my evening music of choice.

Brazilian Girls

I love how strange and haunting it is.
It's a good album for walking around the city with no particular agenda.
Two of my favorite tracks are Don't Stop & Lazy Lover.
Listen here.

Metric: Live It Out

I have been into this album lately.

It has the right amount of everything with a dash of French.

One of my favorite tracks is
The Police And The Private
Listen here.
