  • Puro Cuero – Quiet Times

    Track showcases a Latin flair that incorporates a little Brazilian jazz and smooth vocals.

  • Midnight Mystery Club – Alright

    As stated here before, Midnight Mystery Club is one to watch this year.  Their latest single has a bit of a sun drenched California vibe mixed with a laid back electronic beat.  The vocal melody on this just sticks the landing.

    Be on the lookout for the full  length that drops this week on April 7th.

    Lyrics:

    There is no sense in us staying
    Slaved to the fear of some changing
    How will we ever get by
    Guess we won’t know till’ we try

    We’ll be alright

    I get no kicks from complaining
    World will remember you saying
    How will we ever get by
    Guess we won’t know till we try

     

  • Francis Novotny – Between The Lines

    The first time I heard this song it floored me and I continued to play it at least 5 times a day since.  Just a sweet and savory mix of electronic beats and soulful vocals from Francis Novotny.  Easily one of the best tracks I’ve heard this year.

    Short Bio:

    Francis Novotny is a singer, producer and allusive multi-instrumentalist originally hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden.

    Raised on the eclectic record collections and role-model influence of five older siblings, shortly after school he moved to Paris to ostensibly study French (but in reality, to work on his music in the relative peace of a quieter household).

    Here, for a brief time Francis felt compelled to try his hand at making House, before finding his voice (quite literally) in the crowd: now Novotny draws on a colourful and varied mix of styles (glitch-hop, R&B, electro-soul), seemingly as influenced by Hudson Mohawke and Cashmere Cat as the genre-mutating qualities of Gorillaz.

    A glimpse into this eccentric world-view was suggested by ‘Hit & Run’, a playful and experimental instrumental cut quietly uploaded before today’s introduction of ‘Between The Lines’ (all juddering synths, crisp beats, and the first evidence of Francis’ ghostly, romantic vocal). A refreshing and unpredictable new talent.
