Julianna Barwick - "One Half"
New TracksCommentJulianna Barwick, the ambient vocalist who is able to make beautiful, symphonic clouds out of her voice and a looping pedal, will be releasing her next album Nepenthe August 20th on Dead Oceans. This track from the project is her most straightforward effort yet, including vocal with actual words, but retains the abstract beauty of her earlier work. If this song is a good indicator, Nepenthe will continue to evolve Julianna Barwick's angelic choir to new heights.
Apollo Brown- "The Times" feat. Oddisee
New TracksCommentMP3 (page link)
New track from beatmaster Apollo Brown, featuring Oddisee on the mic. Brown's Clouds came out at the start of March. If you're down with instrumental hip hop, it's a vacation worth taking.
"The Times" is one of the few tracks that breaks the instrumental mold. The lyrics are devoted to much of the political turmoil going on in Northern Africa recently--with special attention on Sudan.
Look for Clouds on Mello Music Group.
