Spotify playlist for the week of July 21, 2024.

• Floating Points – Key103: Delightful drop.
• Hakushi Hasegawa has a new EP, KYŌFUNOHOSHI- Hakushi Hasegawa – Mouth Flash (Kuchinohanabi): A new EP. I can’t say it’s great, but it’s so… singular. The five tracks are worth a listen.
• Relistening to Curtis Mayfield’s 1973 album Back to the World, which I discovered at the Equipment Room in Austin. Still great. Right on for the Darkness is my favorite track.
• Hiatus Kaiyote – Cinnamon Temple

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.
