Warpaint - So Good

You're too much, I can't take it
You always seem to make my heart stop and
I can tell that there's something in your eyes
Calling me
I want you now, I want you all over me
Can't you tell me all your secrets?
I'll tell you all mine
I'll tell you all mine

"So Good" showcases the best of Warpaint past and Warpaint current. It's got the ethereal vocals, the gothic grooves and rhythm and the Bernard Sumner-ish guitar riffs of their past work and the upbeat pace and vibe that's so common on their latest album, Heads Up. An album that gets better and better with repeat listens.

Kerri and I saw them here in Austin last night and they were so good. Heh. Anyway, if you get a chance, check them out.

Upcoming Shows

Little Comets - Dancing Song

Back in 2011, a quirky four-piece from Sunderland and Newcastle brought a ton of fun into my musical world. Culminating in a fantastic and memorable show at that year's SXSW, I spent many hours enjoying their crazy percussion, funky guitars, squeaking vocals and positive attitudes. In search Of Elusive Little Comets is a great introduction to an amazing band and if you've not had the pleasure, you should. And if you can see them live, please, do yourself the solid and do so.

Nick Murphy - Stop Me

Keep waking up in the night
When my ears turn red
I heard some shit that I said
You're probably trying to be nice
I'm not cold, I just been through way worse times

I'm not dreaming now
I'm in control
You can't bring me down

You can't stop me, I made it this far
Alright
I can't help it
Got things I need to do
Before I wait on you, oh

Nick Murphy is a conceptual singer-songwriter with an electronic twist. Formerly recording/releasing as Chet Faker, the Australian decided to move forward with his given name instead. Fittingly, the video for his 2014 hit "Talk is Cheap" showed the metaphoric life and death of the artist. "Stop Me" is the first single for the upcoming album by Murphy, and has a double-length version to the one included here, which he says is the yang to the first half's ying. I chose the radio-length version instead, since I often don't have patience for an 8 minute track, but it's really beautiful if you want to go ahead and add it to your personal playlist.
