Back in the earlier days of Newdust I did a post on Junk Culture’s latest album West Coast, which I’ve been listening to on a regular basis since its release back in October. Here’s the brand new video for the title track, “West Coast.”
This is one of those albums you can just lose yourself in. Berry Weight’s latest, Music For Imaginary Movies, is a fantastic head-first dive into some intense, beat-driven, dark & moody jazz tunes. AKA Apewok & Stab, they’ve been described as ‘a soulful electro-organic-space-jazz duo, harmonizing storybook-like melodies and cinematic atmospheres.’ I couldn’t have said it better if I tried. This album really draws you in right from the beginning, and never lets up. Here are my two favorites from the album.

I was drawn to the fifteenth anniversary party of The Double Door in Chicago on a whim. These guys were performing a free show, and until that point, I hadn’t heard much about them. The crowd was one of the most diverse I had seen at a concert in a long time. When Little Dragon took the stage, the energy felt was nothing other than electric. Hailing from Sweden, with a Japanese lead singer, the group creates music that is soulful with electronica influences. Their CD, “Machine Dreams” is definitely worth picking up and listening to from start to finish. The Swedish music scene has given us talents like Miike Snow and Lykke Li, Little Dragon raises the bar even higher.
