The long awaited new EP from San Francisco based septet The Seshen arrives later this year. They had already grabbed our ears with the sumptuous second single ‘2000 Seasons’ and now they have delivered a video to accompany the track. The effort was directed by Emalyn Lopez and animated by graphic artist/animator Hypoetical. Watch it now.
Last month we heard the first single from Heavenly Beat‘s upcoming second album Prominence, due out on October 15th via Captured Tracks. Now we’re getting a second taste with ‘Honest’, the latest track to surface the web. It’s a lovely and nostalgic affair, listen to it below.
hello Kaleidoscope, the debut full-length album from Los Angeles based outfit Dúo del Sol, arrives tomorrow. Guitarist Tom Farrell and violinist Javier Orman, who make up Dúo del Sol, are both classically trained musicians and their compositions are influenced by diverse genres, geographical experiences and personal emotions. They “innovate from improvisation and obsess over the songwriting”, as they put it themselves. “Creativity is the norm and our lifestyle, and we explore any world that our muse takes us to”.
Dúo del Sol have shared a video to accompany the beautiful and cinematic first single ‘While You Were Gone’. Check it out below and head over to their bandcamp to stream and order hello Kaleidoscope.
Hot on the heels of their recently released debut album Fires In The Park, Benin City have announced the release of a second single. ‘Wha Gwan’ is an excelent and moving track, slated for a October 7th release via Audio Doughnuts.
In other related news, the electro brass trio is set to play their “biggest live show to date” at London’s Electrowerkz on October 30th. If you don’t know the kind of goodness they have in store for you, listen to ‘Wha Gwan’ now.
There are several reasons to look forward to this Autumn, with so many exciting album releases lined up. One of them is The Beauty In All, the new instrumental album from Washington, DC born rapper and producer Oddisee.
Amir Mohamed el Khalifa, the man behind Oddisee, describes his upcoming album:
“The Beauty In All is about the flaws, & mistakes that give life its character & worth. How even ignorance can give light to knowledge. For me, not knowing how to do something & still trying is apart of the evolutionary process. The slight mutations from artist to artist through out the generations giving birth to new ideas, methods & eventually genres. If the instructions to everything we’re presented in perfect tutorials, I may have never deviated from the teacher. This record is dedicated to imperfection & the sense of pride & accomplishment we get from our struggles. Hopefully you listen to this record & reflect on the ups & downs of life & see The Beauty In All.”
The album arrives on October 1st via Mello Music Group. Oddisee had already unveiled the album’s magnificent first single ‘Lonely Planet’. Now he’s teasing us further with a new stunning and serene track, ‘After Thoughts’, with a befitting accompanying video directed by Grégoire Marty. Don’t let these two gems slip away, nor the The Beauty In All when it drops.
Delta Will, the brainchild project of Toronto based singer-songwriter Charles Tilden, has announced the release of his new EP It All Glows.
