Mattafix



is it a girl. is it a boy. oh, its a duet.
and then you find out.
its only one guy (though mattafix is a duo).

so, the voice.
but the lyirics, as well.
they are soulful.
they treat topic and questions we tend to avoid.

i dont dare to do genres and labels, but if i had to, old school r'n'b would be the one to put on them.

my guess is that all song were written on a guitar,
and then put together with numerous samples.

anyhow, signs of a struggle, their first album is one of my all time favorites.


to those of you who havent met mattafix, enjoy.


to those of you who cried their eyes out when marlon roudette and preetesh hirji parted, here's marlons solo.
the name of the album is matter fixed. so may know how similar it is to his previous work.
but it just doesnt have that atmosphere signs of a struggle has.

Symphony of Science

to bring scientific knowledge and philosophy to the public through the medium of music. 
thats his goal. 
amazing. 
to send a meaningful message to listeners, while simultaneously providing an enjoyable musical experience.
again, amazing.

he made a song just by using samples from Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Stephen Hawking's Universe series.
then he went on and now has an album. and its for free. 

Keaton Henson

i got this one from soko, so i thought i knew what im getting myself into.
its that, and more.

a troubled young man, that you can relate to or identify with.

or you're just lucky. for now.

Right Away, Great Captain!

hopefully,
this blog will live. 
and hopeflly,
we will discover projects like Right Away, Great Captain!
its Andy Hull's solo project. he's mostly known as Manchester Orchestra's lead singer.


The Bitter End, The Eventually Home and The Church of the Good Thief is a trilogy that
tells the ongoing saga of a 17th century sailor who catches his wife in an act of betrayal with his very own brother.

Gwenno


rosay is not the only pipette pursuing a solo career. 
few years ago gwenno had a mini album rumored to be produced by the postal service or at least influenced by them. it wasnt that bad at all, but it had no response. check it yourself. 
she is still in the band with her sister ani, but shes dj-ing as well.
and she made an apperiance in the video for PNAUs next single.

Rose Elinor Dougall /free EP

she will always be one of the pipettes.
if you havent noticed yet, they are the prettiest girl youll ever meet.
she is also a member of mark ronsons band business intl.


rose is finishing a second solo album.

she had few extra songs,
and being lovely as she is,
we can get
Distractions EP for free.


NZCA/LINES


Michael Lovett is a londoner.
he makes music and performs as NZCA/LINES.
his minimalistic eletronic pop sounds so simple,
but at the same time, its obvious how much thought and hard work he/they put into it.
the only comparison allowed is the one with metronomy, 
cause one of their producers worked on a nazca's debut album that will be out by the end of february.
my favorite track wont be on it.
The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru.
