Clip Art: Denver’s Own Churchill Debuts Video in Esteemed Company

Change is the only constant. Especially in Denver band Churchill’s brand new clip for the song of the same name. The visual for the mandolin-infused cut was shot in LA by Rich Lee and debuted on Vevo today alongside Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood and fellow Mile High clubbers The Lumineers. The title track from their...
Noteworthy: "Near & Undear" ~ The Bixby Knolls

Noteworthy: “Near & Undear” ~ The Bixby Knolls

Every now and again, a record turns up that I know is going to use and abuse my headphones for the better part of the next six months. Even rarer is when said record is the debut album from a band I’ve never heard of. If it weren’t for the fact that I know otherwise,...
Soundcloud Gems: Orlando

Soundcloud Gems: Orlando

Some nights you want a particular song as much as you want a particular drink. Whether a broken-hearted lonely dusk or an evening of numb-out or a cascade of hours wherein every moment is a breath of fireworks chroma burning the air around it, you want the sensation that both the music and the drink...
Soundcloud Gems: The Cancel

Soundcloud Gems: The Cancel

Just as perfumers are wont to do, The Cancel integrates elements of jazz, lounge and instrumental hip-hop with the auditory essences of the world RJD2 cultivates his own tunes in–sashaying into velvety musical elegance. Popping and locking from beat to beat, this Ukranian duo discharge tunes that take me back to the lounge parties where...
Noteworthy: "Sugar and Spice" ~ Willow Smith

Noteworthy: “Sugar and Spice” ~ Willow Smith

Willow Smith wouldn’t find a place among the more than 100G of music that my iTunes collection consists of–at least not normally. I am neither a fan of the AutoTune generation nor most of the electro-pop meets dubstep auditory  horrors that much of the mainstream music industry has churned out over the last few years....
Soundcloud Gems: Broke For Free

Soundcloud Gems: Broke For Free

With knives of beach weather, sandy synths hazing the background and thrums of bass guitar swaying seawater submerged, Broke For Free loafs in the liminal space that’s musically season-less. Based in Oakland, the instrumentalist otherwise known as Tom Cascino produces a featherweight soundtrack that’s sprite, fun, and somehow worthy of chilling out to. “The Gold...
The Worst Holiday Music of the Season

The Worst Holiday Music of the Season

Just like during the disco era, it seems every person with half a cell of musical talent feels the need to put out a holiday single or album and frankly, a lot of the tuneage is just terrible. In the non-holiday spirit of bashing on the crummiest of crummy Christmas, Hanukkah or other holiday-oriented songs, here are...
Soundcloud Gems: Catching Flies

Soundcloud Gems: Catching Flies

Fat velvet beats and a solid whiskey cocktail make for a lustrous night when the air comes in frosted puffs glazed over windows from the inside out. A dishy listen out of the United Kingdom, Catching Flies has a remix of Jill Scott’s poppy track, “Golden,” that flutters feather light through speakers best suited for...
Brain Pickin': Wilco's John Stirratt

Brain Pickin’: Wilco’s John Stirratt

Wilco is kinda like your best friend. They’re there for your break-ups, great on road trips, and tend to be painfully straightforward. They’re by your side, consistently producing tunes that soothe, rock and resonate. This Grammy-winning sextet has been selling out shows for eighteen years. They’re a creative bunch, made up of multi-instrumentalists that legitimately...
Soundcloud Gems: Edamame

Soundcloud Gems: Edamame

Posturing lo-fi atmospherics at the side of silky smooth crimson beats, singing synths, and verging almost new age in some breaths, Chicago instrumentalist Edamame falls genre-less on the ears and delightfully so. More of an organic experience than emotion-provoking, this beatmaster invites his listeners on a brainwave joyride.  soft and airy electronics that grease the...

Soundcloud Gems: Green River Ordinance

Soundcloud Gems: Green River Ordinance

It’s funny the way that troubling periods in one’s life have mental playlists undulating beneath the surface of their memories–much in the same way that certain scents imbue a hazy sentimentality around the edges of other memories. Perhaps this is the latent consequence of the music video era or maybe it’s just proof that a...
