W H O K I L L

tUnE-yArDs are an indie rock outfit surrounding Merrill Garbus, whose personality and ecumenical style would fit right in with the Nextbop/Revivalist set. W H O K I L L, their album released earlier this year, is among my favorite albums of 2011 so far.

Something Different

No jazz today, just Best Coast. Fuzzy, lo-fi shoegaze with a nod to the Beach Boys and the Ronettes:

Their new album drops today.

Music Monday Extra

Nextbop ran an open call for submissions for their Music Monday post today, to which I contributed Polar Bear's Peepers. I wanted to include a second tune, but due to space limitations I could not. So instead I'll post it hear. Below is Twin Sister's Lady Daydream. It is not jazz, but I've been listening to this track a lot lately. Their lead singer has an enchanting voice with a timbre I don't think I've ever heard before. I hope you enjoy it.
