mood & groove 5

5 album covers and a self portrait:

1. I Don't Know You by The Marias Psychedelic funk is my new favorite genre.*
2. Magic by Rayana Jay I just want to get up and cha cha whenever I've got this playing.
3. Overnight by Parcels Reminds me a bit of Daft Punk, with more lyrical diversity.
4. Try / Effortless by dvsn Wow I just learned that dvsn is short for "division", which is also how it's pronounced. Huh. Everyday is a school day.
5. Summer Days by Rhye  This says it all: "Summer days fall away, can I just make you stay?"

mood & groove 4

I missed my weekly mood & groove cadence last week and I'm almost certain you didn't notice.

In any case, it's back this week. Some tracks to re energize your commuting and focus mode playlists.

1. History by Cosmo's Midnight Nothing more current than some Australian Twins bringing you electronic music infused with R&B.
2. Real Life by Duke Dumont Your workweek kicker is here. Here's a stimulant free way of increasing your heart rate.
3. City of No Reply by Amber Coffman* Samba-esque beat with resonate female harmonies.
4. Hard to Say Goodbye by Washed Out V different from Feel It All Around.
5. While We're Young by Jhene Aiko A chill end to your night.

Been sick all weekend, as reflected in the more mellow picks in this week's lineup. Happy Tuesday folks.

1. Days with You by Snakehips Upbeat kicker for your Tuesday morning.
2. Broken Clocks by SZA* Her most recent interview with Vogue hinted that this might be both her first and last LP - I sure hope she's just teasing cause this album is FIRE.
3. Apocalypse by Cigarettes After Sex Brooklyn based ambient pop group, delivering some top notch tunes for a Seattle rainy day (or really any day).
4. Perfect Places by Lorde If you never gave Lorde a chance because you thought Royals was overrated, I sincerely hope you reconsider.
5. Don't Believe by Slow Dancer  Just a pretty boy with his pretty tunes.

5 tunes kickin on my Spotify right now:

1. Sleepless by Girlpool (Heads up they're on tour, in Seattle on Fri 5/26) Girlpool knocks it out of the water with some strong and hella playful female vocals.
2. Lose My Cool by Amber Mark* If the rhythm doesn't hit you then you're probably an impenetrable human. If you don't find yourself groovin by 1:20 then I have failed you as a tunes curator and I deeply apologize.
3.  Want You Back by Haim The Rockenhaim trio does it again. The oh so familiar vibes of Days Are Gone.
4. Poolside by Baynk Nice, chill, easy.
5. Home by J.Lisk Also nice, chill, and easy.
