Louis Weeks – Clementine (mp3)
About a year ago I stumbled onto Baltimore’s Louis Weeks, a folkish singer-songwriter that strays into textural background studies. His song “Bloodline” was what initially sparked my interest. Now he’s working on a full LP and has sent over one from it entitled “Clementine”. It picks up on the same subtle electronics that float through his [...]

The yesterday Zen Tapes turned me onto Melbourne’s Major Napier aka Johnny Ross. He’s got a free EP, Major Soldier, up on bandcamp, and its comprised of some shadowy trail worn beats with his harmonized vocals over top. It’s unique and raw…and dope. Apparently he has “no interest in making beautiful music. I want to [...]
