We Are Trees

I didn't hear about these Brooklyn-ites We Are Trees until recently, but they make the sort of sweet, atmospheric musical drifting that will make you feel like your driving through a movie scene. A vocalist, but not a lot of lyrics, more textural than anything else, and plenty of guitar - that's what this is about. If you liked Grizzy Bear's Yellow House, then this just might be for you.

They'll be in Savannah in March for the 1st annual Stopover festival.

Ray made his debut at Vinyl Appreciation last week and the results are a doozy of a set - nothing but ice cold grooves.

Covers Week #6

Sticking with the sub-theme covers of film scores that we began with the previous post, let's go ahead and get into what may be one of my favorite covers of all time - Big Youth's cover of the "Theme from Shaft."

Covering a tune like this could go horribly wrong in the wrong hands, but this jam is just incredible. So laidback. Seriously hard chilling is the only thing you can really undertake while listening to this. Professional leisure.
