Robert Stillman

Yesterday evening, i came across this wonderful and experimental mix of jazz and blues from American ex-pat Robert Stillman and his new "What Does It Mean to Be American?" LP.  "Cherry Ocean" is a slowly moving piece consisting of piano, woodwinds, and whispered, mumbled vocals, and it's been haunting me for the last few hours.  It feels like moving in a surreal dream state.  Check it out below and then head here to order the whole thing from Orindal Records.

Wednesday

I just can't help but tumble head first into the '90s alt-rock aping sounds of so many young bands out there.  Does that make me old?  Yeah, probably.  A graying old dude getting some of that nostalgia dopamine injected straight into my ears.  And North Carolina band Wednesday are supplying said dopamine today.  Check out the crunchy, mid-tempo guitar swirl of "Twin Plagues" below and get the album of same name here via Orindal Records.
