Difference Engine – Shoegaze post-rock can be annoying, but every now and then a band can pull it off. Their brand is reminiscent of My Blood Valentine, but you actually understand what these guys are saying.
Mike Posner – I’m gonna be honest…I shouldn’t like some like him, but for some reason I do. He’s got some quality to his suburban hip-hop that’s enjoyable. I never hide my interests in music no matter how absurd they may seem.
J. Tillman (from Fleet Foxes) – I’m at a loss of words. Will revisit and figure out a suitable comparison. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s awesome experimental folk.
Michael Leonhart – Vintage-sounding psychedelic/world beat/rock/funk featuring the Dap King horns. (Thanks John!)
Daniel Werriweather – White boy soul. His track with Wale is INCREDIBLE! (see below)
NOTE: CMJ starts today. There will be nightly updates! Check out my panel and my schedule to see where else I’ll be.
