[Folk/Pop] Imaginary Friend – Fire Escape

Posted by Clayton Warwick - 35 mins ago
IF

Four months ago we missed out on something truly incredible. We missed out on four months of ethereal, heavenly vocal harmonies. We missed out on emotionally crafted lyrics. We missed out on an amazing new artist. We flat out missed out.

Summer is here. We can finally walk outside in our bare feet, and let the dew covered rain drops slide in between our bare toes. It’s out favorite season. There’s no doubt about it. For some reason, every summer there’s seemingly endless amounts of solid folk music. While we’re always more than happy to hear the onslaught of acoustic guitar and heartfelt lyrics, this time around we have something truly special for you.

Enter Imaginary Friend. While there’s not much information out on this overwhelmingly audibly pleasing folk pop ensemble, know this: they deserve a spot in your regular rotation. Just take one listen, and try to argue with us. If you get past “Thick and the Thin” with your argument still ready, we’ll buy you a round of shots. Soon after said shots, we’ll listen to “Thick and the Thin,” and hug it out.

[Get Crunk] Clayton and Tommie’s Friday Party Playlist #52

Heyyyyyyy ninjas! We’re in awe that it’s been a full year of providing you with dance inducing tracks for your weekend endeavors. 52 weeks. 365 days. 8760 Hours. 525,960 minutes. 31,536,000 seconds. It’s been a lot of partying, and we’ve been with you every step of the way, which is why we wanted to do something special for to celebrate one full year of Clayton’s Friday Party Playlist.

When we saw number 52 approaching, we decided to reach out to someone who has great insight on party music. Someone who has been lighting up the dance floor for years and years on end. So, we asked Tommie Sunshine to help us out. He obliged, and provided this glorious selection of free downloads for you to jam through out the weekend. So, let your hair down, turn the bass up, and dance the mother fucking night away!

Also, make sure to tweet at Tommie and thank him for this incredible playlist.

[Gorgeous] Badlands – Sleeping Beauty

One of our favorite parts of being music bloggers is stumbling across relatively unknown artists. Don’t get us wrong, we love hearing stuff from our favorites, but there’s also something about hearing someone completely new that’s just downright exciting.

Meet Badlands. This is their first song. The lead singer’s voice and harmonies carry effortlessly over the dark shoegazey rythmic drumming. Her repetitious use of “I’ll dream for you” helps create an atmospheric vibe that’s both welcoming and haunting. Badlands truly creates an experience with their track “Sleeping Beauty,” which is more than impressive for their first release.

Definitely keep your ears open for these guys, as we’re sure you’ll be hearing more from them as time goes on.

[Hip Hop] Jez Dior – Hide

Two things come with each Jez Dior release. The first is a post from a ninja that doesn’t listen to a ton of hip hop. Sure, I’ve had my moments of hip hop patronage in the past. I can recite every line of Wu Tang’s 36 Chambers (and did at Coachella). I dig the incredible story telling abilities of Slick Rick. I’ve pined over girls while listening to Atmosphere. However, if you’ve read this blog for long enough, you’d know that I don’t take on many hip hop projects. I tend to stick to EDM and indie rock, except when it comes to Jez. The first thing that draws me to his style is the smooth production from his team. Take “Hide” for example. The clean bluesy guitar riff repetitiously glides over a steady beat, soft vocal samples, and crackling distortion. It’s chill, calming and creates the perfect backdrop for Jez’s vocals.

The other thing that comes with each Jez Dior release is an impressive video. At the young age of 20, this rapper’s vision is far older than his age. His lyrics drip with emotional experiences of a person much older. His videos visually represent that as well. “Hide” shows Jez seemingly on the back of a car continually moving, and continually hiding. Call it a quarter life crisis…call it dealing with the day to day struggles of life. Whatever you take from this, know that he can make you feel his music, which is the mark of an incredible musician.

“Hide” is the third single off the new Jez Dior’s mixtape/album “Scarlett Sage”. It is a free download, which means you have absolutely no reason to pick this up.
