NNAMDï – “Anti”
This video is so silly that it almost feels like it’s trying to hide the vulnerability of the song. I could wax poetic about an allegory that I glean…from the circumstances NNAMDï finds himself in, where his life of humiliation is all meant to attain the same as a white man, but the world is stacked against him. No one else sees the monster that … Continue reading NNAMDï – “Anti”
Moor Mother – “ODE TO MARY (feat. Orion Sun and Jason Moran)” & “EVENING (feat. Wolf Weston)”
As an album, Jazz Codes is a masterpiece of musical realism. There are layers of texture between each vocalist’s breath, helped a great deal by the experimental nature of the production. Jazz, itself another kind of experiment, is the perfect vessel for an existential journey. The short film defines numerous more layers, adding an entirely new dimension to each track. Moor Mother | order Jazz … Continue reading Moor Mother – “ODE TO MARY (feat. Orion Sun and Jason Moran)” & “EVENING (feat. Wolf Weston)”
Catching Flies – “Orsay”
Shoutout to my partner in crime at my old radio station when I was a lowly Digital Music Supervisor. He showed me Catching Flies and what followed (my intense love for live mixed soft beats as demonstrated in “Orsay”) is history.

[Various Artists] – Lefto presents Jazz Cats Volume 2
Can’t say no to a well-curated compilation, especially not its sequel. As a non-jazzhead, I was surprised to hear a number of genres that I wasn’t expecting from an album called Lefto Presents Jazz Cats Volume 2. It is an overt reminder that jazz comes in many forms…and usually includes a fabulous instrumental solo.

Lupin – “K.O. Kid”
Claymation has never been more…unsettling? That’s not true, but the point is that “KO Kid” is represented by a mildly cursed animated music video. The vibes are oddly on point, matching the subtle voice effects and 2D instrumentation that backs everything up.

Bartees Strange – “Wretched”
“Wretched” is a power pop ballad that can get you swept into its stadium-sized chorus. It appears on Farm to Table, Bartees Strange’s fantastic new LP. Bartees Strange | website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify Continue reading Bartees Strange – “Wretched”
