Wish I Was Here

A little cruel by Parks N' Rec from the EP -Wish I Was Here

Arm's Length

Bet You Know

"Afterthought" embodies the feelings of a hopeless romantic reminiscing about the way things used to be. It's easy to ignore the worst moments in a relationship.  Past memories will always be there to haunt you and cause one to think what they could've done differently. 

"Afterthought" is composed of dreamy guitar riffs and melodies, a strong running bass line, and arena-booming drums. The eerie elements of the song are traced by the vocals, synths, and further complimented by other instruments.  Members of the band convey their vocal and instrumental abilities throughout the song.

Stream 'Born As Lovers': papishiitake.fanlink.to/bornaslovers

Papi Shiitake sounds like morning in bed on the beach. Cold on a summer afternoon, singer Papi Shiitake creates stories of optimistic isolation on top of 60’s inspired dreamscapes. 

The Brooklyn artist is back after his diverse and spry EP ‘Quarantine Dream’ last year. As the first European release, ‘Born As Lovers’ delivers sun-soaked, nostalgic melodies that shine over Motown-inspired grooves while Papi Shiitake croons and asks the world to ‘love each other’.

Broke For Free - Juparo

My favorite Prince song, from Purple Rain. I love electronic music but almost never work in that medium.  This is one of those time I did.

Two Free Hands

Next up on Sasha's Last Night On Earth is Jon Gurd with a stellar new four track EP 'After It All'.

'Now' is a deep, heart-felt mystical ride carried along by a deliciously drawn out bottom line, wonderfully evolving strings and pads joined by wispy vocals. Driven by a solid kick the track is alleviated by the introduction of improvised synth chimes and added percussion.

Without doubt the chunkiest track on the EP has to be 'For Us'. The strong thud of a kick drum sits dominant on top a quiet mass of layered drums until dropping out, making way for a growth of delayed stabs, arpeggiated undertones and lush leads. Building in atmosphere, we crescendo as kick falls back in to place. A technical masterpiece on the manipulation of feelings through sound.

'I'm Going Home' carries the same unconventional electro-style kick pattern the rest of the EP champions. However, the premise of this track is built upon its growth, fattening up through delicately placed melodic synth textures, blankets of extraordinary percussion and pitchy panned vocals.

Last up is title track 'After It All', a deep, emotive journey filled with beautifully played key progressions, muted broken beats, organic percussion and an orchestral modulated loop.

After It All

CAKE

Pretty picture
Was it a gift or was it bought by your mother?
A lovely conversation starter
Here’s the kicker
I’m only here until about late November
Another day just to remember

Heard it coming
The tick on the clock but it stops for a minute
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen
More pretending
Why tell the truth when we can lie for a minute?
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen

Moving quicker
You spilt your drink and let it bleed through the fabric
You’re drunk but what a stupid habit
Feeling sicker  
We cut the cake, why don’t we eat? Tastes metallic
Let’s see who’s the first to grab it
