Familiar Folk

I forgot how draining it is to sift through music looking for actual talent. But alas, I found someone worth sharing that caught my interest. Kevin Echlin is a Canadian singer, guitarist and fellow ginger. You can hear the Beirut/Fionn Regan influence in his voice, which eagerly attracted me to his music. He also impressively plays the ukulele, accordion, mandolin, violin and oud. Exceptionally folk-y and refreshing, Echlin's music is likable and familiar to my ears, therefore making the strenuous search worth the find.

Kevin Echlin- The Shepard's Demise

I have really been enjoying his covers on youtube, and this Fionn Regan cover is remarkably similar to the original track.

Cloudy Days

Finally getting some winter weather here in LA and I couldnt be more pleased. With weather like this I always turn to certain artists that make things more nostalgic and beautiful as I stay warm inside and relax. Today has been a Beach House day. And so I thought I'd share a few of my Beach House favorites including a more upbeat remix that I more recently discovered.

Beach House- Lover of Mine
Beach House- Norway (Skinny Friedman Edit)

Anticipation

It has been difficult these past two weeks to look for new music considering my default internet browser has been virus infected and I am using good old internet explorer which moves at the speed of molasses. hooray. I have been kind of going nuts to the point where I have cut down on internet use dramatically- which may be a good thing. Either way, I thought I would just do a quick post to express my excitement for tonight's Daedelus show! Super estatic to see him along with Them Jeans, Gaslamp Killer and more. I am posting up a few of my favorite songs and remixes by Daedelus.

Daedelus- Order of the Golden Dawn
Daedelus- LA Nocturn
Daedelus- Make It So (XXXchange Remix)
Lymbyc System(Daedelus Remix)- ...So We Can Sleep
