The Basic Bliss music video is out today on YouTube. Originally intended as a live video, the addition of an eight foot tall puppet made…
Musicto Mixtape Feature
I had the chance to talk with playlisting site Musicto about the Mixtape series I have been putting together for the past few years. Check out the full feature here, and check out an excerpt from the interview below…
Mixtape 42
I can’t decide if this playlist leans too far into dance territory, or too far into chilled out indie vibes. Either way, to me, it feels good from start to finish.
Bootleg #1 - Celestial Drift
Releases have been more or less on hold while I’m wrapping up the Sad Disco project, which is hi-fi, clinical, and pretty labor intensive… As a palette cleanser, I’ve been experimenting with a more analogue style of recording, with performances running from start to finish on a song, and flaws left in. I was inspired by…
Unreleased Track - “Sweetheart,” from Nocturnes
Releases have been more or less on hold while I’m wrapping up the Sad Disco project, which is hi-fi, clinical, and pretty labor intensive… as a result, I’ve been eager to share my other work while that’s wrapping up…
Mixtape 41
This playlist features highlights from some of my favorite albums of the past year. I loved Magdalena Bay’s Imaginal Disk, a strange indie pop album that is…
Mixtape 40
I gave you guys a few harder tracks early on this playlist, so I ended it off real mellow for you, with chilled out vibes from…
Mixtape 39
Some truly dreamy songs on this playlist - “Les Fleurs,” by Minnie Ripperton, “Soft Sands” by the Chordettes, and surprisingly, a gorgeous song from…
Mixtape 38
I miss making you playlists for your disc drive, so I made you this. I know it’s not the same… but it’s the closest I can get. New mixtape monthly up on my spotify. Find me there at…
Mixtape 37
I love so many songs on this playlist.
This whole Girls album brings up so many nostalgic feelings for me. Jeff Beck’s “Nadia” is an amazing demonstration of a guitarist adapting to new styles of music, with a jungle breakbeat kind of backdrop, and…
Canvas Rebel x jawnmo
I had the chance to sit down with Canvas Rebel for an interview about what I’ve been working on and what comes next for my project…
Mixtape 36
The first four songs on this are perfect to me. Q’s “Today” has an unreal build that I listen to again and again just to hear the drums come in. “Sweep Me Off My Feet” is just so well done. CARRTOONS are an unreal vibe, and…
Mixtape 35
Some Real Hipster Hits on this one, including classic grooves from the excellent production minds of Madlib (Madvillain), Dangermouse (Gnarls Barkley), The Avalanches, and Knxwledge (NxWorries). A couple classics on here, as well, like…
Mixtape 34
“Pick Up Your Feelings” was one of my top songs this month. I couldn’t get enough of it, or the call and response of The Raconteurs’ song “Level,” one I’d forgotten about until recently. Surprising highlights on this were…
Mixtape 33
This ranks pretty high in my list of best playlists I’ve ever made. So many undeniable classics, and so many killer songs, old and new. Dijon’s “Many Times” is one of my all time favorites here, but looking down the tracklist…
Mixtape 32
Great upbeat songs on this one, solid indie vibes. The guitar lines on Bomba Estéreo’s “Deja” are ones that I come back to all the time, they’re so well done. Benny Sings chips in a quality cover of…
New Single Release - Basic Bliss
Basic Bliss is out today, a summery beach pop jam with beach boys style harmonies and instrumentation reminiscent of Spoon’s “Inside Out.” Check it out wherever you listen to music!
Mixtape 31
These first five songs are flawless. Pin It Down is such a fantastic riff. “I’m a Rock” is an incredible Sly & The Family Stone style track. The Box Tops’ “The Letter” is an all time favorite of mine. I can never get over the fact…
New Single Release - “Desert Queen Fever Dream” with Christopher Kenji
New single from Christopher Kenji and jawnmo, out today
trash bb: a hard rock, punk, & garage playlist
To celebrate the release of “El Toro,” with Christopher Kenji, I put together a playlist of some of my favorite hard rock, punk, and garage tracks that I haven’t been able to get enough of lately.
