Spotify playlist for the week of July 14, 2024.
- Matthew Herbert – The Horse Has a Voice (feat. Theon Cross)
- Matthew Herbert – The Horse Is Put to Work: One more from the same album. It’s reminiscent of old Cornelius.
- Tristan Perich – Open Symmetry: Section 3: Strong Reich vibes in this systhesizer + vibraphone piece.
- Sam Wilkes, Craig Weinrib, and Dylan Day made an album of guitar, bass, and drum and it’s excellent. I guess it’s jazz, but it’s so lyrical that I’d sometimes call it folk music. Wilkes really is an incredible bassist. I discovered him when Louis Cole introduced him as KNOWER’s bassist at the show I saw in Austin.
- Mildfire – Oh Boy - Part II: Similar to Jazzist, Grandbrothers, and I would even say Aufgang, and Efterklang. This popped up in my Recommend Weekly playlist. Looks like they’re from Oslo+Berlin. The whole EP is great, but too short! 7 minutes and 7 seconds! I want more!
- Well, Mildfire does have an album! Kids in Traffic was released in Feb, 2024. It’s good! The Oak Floor track reminded me of Mice Parade’s eponimous 2007 album.
