Salvador Jolly - BOWLCUT NECKBEARD - cover

Salvador Jolly is an Allston, MA “collective of musicians livin’ on the Earth planet” playing some sweet sounds dubbed Piffgaze/Trillwave/DIY.  None of that has any meaning what so ever to me.  What does have meaning are the sounds from BOWLCUT NECKBEARD, the RAD DONLEY released LP filled with odd yet chill instrumentals.  There’s a part rodeo, part underground slowdance, part western, part church rave, part hammock spinning bustling out of this and its hard not to like.  Download it via Bandcamp.  Check a few:

Tazmanian Tiger

Austin’s Tazmanian Tiger is known as a producer for folks like Main Attrakionz and Shady Blaze.  He’s just released a four part stunner via bandcamp entitled Instramaniakall Vol. 1.  If you have the time, this needs to be heard right away.  If you don’t have the time…make the time.  This is some pensive hip-hop gold.

Tomillo – Arlena (stream)

London’s Tomillo has a wide variety of sounds filling his mixtape Volume 1.  Hip-hop, folk/blues, and electronic each show their face.  Rather then being a chaotic group, they relate to each other very well.  That being said, the stand out for me is the beautiful electronic instrumental jam, “Arlena”.  Check it:

I’ve listened to and reviewed A TON of music over the last few years, but I almost positive I have yet to listen to music originating from Novosibirsk, Russia.  That changes today with Heatherwood, a synth duo that plays honest and rich pop.  They have three songs on their soundcloud that all deserve your listening ears, but I’ll start you off with this beauty:

GRANT – Kerosene (mp3)

GRANT Kerosene

Orlando’s GRANT (Grant Peyton) is a 17 year old beat maker that makes some pretty swell hip-hop beats.  His reMIXTAPE is a stellar bass driven ride, but what really has me caught is his newest “Kerosene” where he dials it waaaay back – perfect for a countryside drive or a midday downtown park bench stare.
