It’s been a strange week in Severan-land.  The weather here in Colorado turned warm again, we’re having an Indian Summer.  At least I get a few more weeks of lovely fall fashion *I see you cardigan*. The weather, combined with a healthy dose of change in my personal life, has produced an eclectic batch of new music goodies for you today.

Also, some fun stuff happened in musical land this week.  Most notably was Sacramento noise rap group, Death Grips, dropping their 3rd album on Wednesday for FREE.  Go listen here.

Speaking of new music that’s totally awesome and free, Brooklyn-via-Toronto-via-Bogota singer Tei Shi dropped her incredibly stunning debut EP “Saudade” on the 12th.  I haven’t been this excited about a female vocalist in a long, long time.  She knocked off Banks as my go-to lyrical heart throb of the moment and the music arrangement makes me feel Bjorky.  Yes I just made Bjork a verb.

Finally, the lyrical find of the week isn’t new, but is new to me.  New Jersey’s Brick + Mortar has been around since 2008 and released “Move to the Ocean” last year but it somehow slipped through my musical fingers.  I’m happy to rectify that with the punchy instrumentation and divine songwriting that encapsulates my feelings as I moved into my twenties.

we’ll move to the ocean
to feed off the daylight
was hoping that you’d understand
i got a darkness darkness
but you don’t gotta hold my hand
do you got a darkness darkness
together we could take a stand

That feeling of seeing life as an open canvas of possibility, but having enough experience that the canvas is already splattered with a little black and red.  This track has a darkly defiant energy daring anyone to deny its presence.

Until next week kiddies,

Be well

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Androgynous Mind is a new project from former Women guitarist-vocalist Patrick Flegel, and whilst only five songs are on the Nightstalker EP, just hearing him with a guitar should be enough to get fans of his former work excited. 

Flegel is joined by Morgan Cook, who plays things straight and primal against his dissonance and squall, that is when she isn't wailing along with him, like on the opening pair of tantrums that sound like some lost Harry Pussy recording session. It's over in a blink before segueing into “Knock On My Door,” a spectrally understated pop gem worth playing bleary-eyed at four in the morning. “Knock” revels in Flegel’s distinctive guitar presence, working shapely lattices of notes into descending sheets of melody in a manner both lulling and forceful, but you remember that from 'Public Strain', right?

Post-punk guitar intricacies rarely mesh with pop hooks so masterfully, yet Flegel has proven himself many times to be staggeringly adept at both. With Androgynous Mind he and Cook have striped their ideas to the bone, revealing   a thing both harsh and beautiful, direct and engaging.

Dre Green & The GTW ~ Neymar Night

Summertime sadness
I feel India in my bones
I  can smell sunlight
I can feel the highline
Bless me
Gods bless me
Goddess Of forbidden love
I am she
I keep one white candle
Maintain
Purity ... Purity

Show me the way to your hiding place
I think I wanna go go there
Hooo hoo
Show me the way to your hiding place
I think I wanna go go go go there
...go to church if you scared

I lay formless
Hands tied in my sheets
Star signs say I'm rare
Chosen
By who
I I I I I
I wonder who's watchin
Who's wing I'm under
Sweep me up and ill go
No questions take me
I'll go!

Show me the way ...

Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
