My Heart Misses you Ft B1NE?

Manatee Commune, AKA Grant Eadie, infuses his beats with the lush sounds of the Pacific Northwest landscape that surrounds his native Bellingham. Clattering drums hum alongside the chatter of birds, the trickle of rain, and the billowing of wind chimes, creating gorgeous soundscapes that could score future episodes of Planet Earth. On his newest release, "Clay", Eadie's pop sensibility shines through, showcasing his bright and compact production. Marina Price lends her smooth, smoky vocals to yet another Manatee Commune track that is bound to invoke the nostalgia of a youthful summer dream.

No April Fools joke here. After dropping the out-of-nowhere “Cross Countries” single earlier this week, Cecil Otter announces the immediate release of his new EP Dear Echo, available digitally through Doomtree Records.  Longtime Doomtree crew member and behind-the-scenes production wizard, Cecil has spent years developing his unique and signature sound, and Dear Echo pushes the genre boundaries even further for his most modern, lush, and experimental offering yet.  Recorded in Fall Creek, WI at Justin Vernon’s renowned April Base Studios, the six-track EP includes three brand new songs alongside their accompanying instrumentals, with production, songwriting, and vocals masterfully handled by Cecil himself.  Available now for download, Dear Echo will also see a vinyl release later this year.  Standard and deluxe LP packages are now available for pre-order from the Doomtree webstore, and include limited-edition white vinyl and an extremely rare signed-and-numbered screen-print series featuring the artwork Cecil created during the Dear Echo recording sessions.

After self-producing several of his own solo albums throughout the 2000’s, Cecil Otter rose to fame as one half of the mashup duo Wugazi, a remix project that overlapped the gritty raps of Wu-Tang Clan with the sounds of post-rock vets Fugazi.  The project went instantly viral and garnered high praise from the likes of NBC, Rolling Stone, MTV, and even Jay-Z’s own site, Life + Times.  Dear Echo marks Cecil’s first new collection of solo material since 2008’s Rebel Yellow.

Rapper/songwriter Wax is releasing his new mixtape “The Cookout Chronicles” on Friday, September 2, 2016.  The Internet rap pioneer has developed a dedicated following over the last several years, a following which is sure to embrace this project.  After finding major success in Europe with his hit “Rosana” and viral success worldwide with his creative video content, Wax is now in a place where he just does what he wants.  In creating “The Cookout Chronicles” over the last year or so, he just wanted to write and record “feel good shit."
 
The mixtape has more featured artists than any project Wax has dropped in the past.  The features include blues rap legend G Love, art rapper Open Mike Eagle, rapper and TV personality Awkwafina, and underground rap heavyweights Jerron Benton, Sahtrye, and Intuition.  As always, his twin brother Herbal T also appears on a track.  While Wax handles most of the production himself, his frequent collaborator EOM adds some beats, as do a few other producers.  Experimental bass guitar prodigy Mono Neon adds two tracks to the project.   
 
 The Cookout Chronicles is Wax’s most cohesive project to date.  Wax says that the project is designed to be listened to all the way through, as he intended to craft the perfect soundtrack to a backyard barbeque.  The songs are generally of the “feel good” variety, and showcase the rapper’s talent for intricate, witty, rap bars and also his deftness with melody and harmony.  From the bossa nova inspired “First Love” to the blues/funk jam “So High”, the songs can accompany a cold beer on the porch or an all out party.  For the hardcore rap fans, “Bulletproof” veers off the chill path, with an evil head nodding beat that would work well as the soundtrack to a worldstar fight video.  The mixtape contains an astounding amount of quotable rap lines, leaving the listener to repeatedly ask “how the fuck did he think of that?”
 
The Cookout Chronicles will be available on all major digital outlets on September 2, 2016.  You can find Wax at:
