So Far So Good 2018

music to our ears
Summer is officially here and that means many things, warm weather, road trips, BBQ's, swimming and the need for good music. Each June I highlight records that have made their way into my listening rotation. This is the first of two installments, the latter comes in November. 

Music is a vital piece of culture that can define who we are or which mood we are in. I'm consistently listening to music, new and old. Below are albums that have grabbed my attention. Have fun this summer. Stay safe and keep cool. SO FAR SO GOOD...

Jericho Jackson | Self Titled
real hip hop, NC + Detroit, wordplay, much needed, cerebral, reminiscent of Guru & Premier... overthinking & self made

Soccer Mommy | Clean
new sounding, honest, lyrical, raw, edgy yet soft... your dog

Superorganism | Self Titled
fun, fresh, catchy, modern, psyche pop, mixed media, creative, blended... something for your mind & everybody want to be famous

Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats | Tearing at the Seams
poignant, personal, timely, rocky mountain soul, full of feeling... long time running & shoe boot

Janelle Monáe | Dirty Computer
funky, danceable, Prince-like, new pop, sexy... make me feel

DJ Critical Hype | The DAMN. Chronic
Voltron, mix tape, hip hop, Kendrick, Dr. Dre, need I say more?... download link
