Kacey Johansing – Oh Brother

Has a Feist feeling to the track, but infused with a bit more jazz.  One thing is for sure, i’m a sucker for whistling in a track  and the cello that shows up mid way through the track sets the mood perfectly.

Kacey Johansing – Oh Brother

About Kacey Johansing:
A sometime member of the bands Honey.Moon.Tree and Honeycomb, Johansing also counts locals Vera Gogh, The Blank Tapes, and Sleepy Todd as frequent collaborators, and that warmly supportive web contributed many of the colors that shine through on Many Seasons.  Though quite clearly Johansing’s solo album, the guitarist, pianist and singer’s penchant for collaboration shines through.

Taken By Trees – My Boys (Animal Collective cover)

victoria-bergsman

I would love to do a remix of this cover.  This is a cover of an Animal Collective track called, “My Girls”.  Taken by Trees is the moniker used by Victoria Bergsman, whom you might  recognize  as the voice from Peter Bjorn and John’s, “Young Folks”.  The  instrumentation  on this track reminds me of Vampire Weekend.

lyrics:
There isn’t much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse,
I only want a proper house
I don’t care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave,
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father’s grave
On my father’s grave
(On your father’s grave)
I don’t mean to seem like I
Care about material things,
Like a social status,
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my boys
