Listening to their sunny, beachy sound, you'd probably never guess that Dreambeaches are from chilly Buffalo New York. Here's a pleasant track from their most recent EP for your Sunday morning and afternoon pleasures.
RIYL: Rooney, Walter Etc., Nada Surf, Ben Kweller
Baby luv, I tried but I cannot forgive
I'm crazy hot inside
So I'm leaving you with him
Sun-bleached and dusty white
No one sees it, so unfair
How you're still beautiful
I could watch you comb your hair
London's Nilüfer Yanya makes uncomplicated indie rock with a beautifully unique thread running through it. Her voice reminds me, just a little bit, of a Kate Bush, and that's saying something. She's got a couple of singles and EPs out now, and, assuming she keeps on keeping on with this, I reckon we'll be hearing lots more gems from her.
RIYL: Elder Island, Alison Crutchfield, Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som
Kamasi Washington is an improvisational artist. I hesitate to call his music "jazz", despite my initial inclination, because it seems more nuanced than that. To be honest, it's not in my wheelhouse and it's hard for me to describe. I think that's one of the reasons why I find it so compelling.
RIYL: Esperanza Spalding, Thundercat, Critters Buggin, Medeski, Martin and Wood
