Sonnymoon – The Fear
Anna Wise has one of the most enchanting voices I have ever heard. The quality about Sonnymoon, previously mentioned here, that draws my attention to them again and again is their ultra eerie & indefinable sound. They are masters at channeling several styles at once to create their own individual sound. I discovered the super duo through their Golden Age project, which I fell in love with along with their self-titled LP Sonnymoon. They get me through long hours of transit, and sound especially magical while up in the clouds during a flight, or on a train. I highly recommend both of their projects. True experimentalists, I honestly believe that…

Anna Wise – BitchSlut Visual
My ears first heard the wonderful jam that is BitchSlut, back at Anna Wise’s first solo performance at Low End Theory club, late last year. I brought a friend along who had not heard her group Sonnymoon‘s music before, and this friend easily fell in love with the vibes that were provided that night. I also anticipated the moment that would allow me access to this particular song, whenever, especially before a night out with my crew. It is fun way to present such a perspective. The second single from the songstress’ upcoming project now has an official music video, which was shot on an iPhone 6. The pool scenes…

FemaLe IntuiTion is sO NeXt LeveL (+Download)
Since more people are discovering this playlist I put together in December, I thought it would be nice to do a downloadable version for iTunes. I’m also on a bit of a roll after Mistah Rapsey of Staying Underground invited me to collaborate with him on his amazing, vibey series he has going called Year of the Collaborator. I had fun putting selections together myself, and it broke the ice for me to do mixes like this regularly. This allows me to share my favorite music in a more personal way. I have more of these in the works. This current mix is beautifully fluid in its themes, if I…

FemaLe IntuiTion is sO NeXt LeveL MIX
I wouldn’t be at ease without closing up a wonderful first year of posting on The Frolic with some words about my unique year of growth, and some music! This ending quarter of the holiday season swallowed me up, for a bit. I have a new playlist to hold us over until I get around to updating, after the new year. I have some big ideas to manifest! Distinctive growth occurred within me this year. I feel like I am constantly discovering myself while collecting and creating myself at the same time. So many magical moments strengthened my perception of life and calmed the uncertainty I felt throughout much of…

Duos
Sonnymoon, Lion Babe, Etta Bond & Raf Riley, and inc. dropped some interesting visuals to accompany their songs last year. There are a few singer/producer combinations popping up out there, but I’m looking forward to hearing new things from these four this year. I’m especially anticipating an official release from Lion Babe, as they’ve only revealed a single junglesque groove thus far. I’ve been a fan of Sonnymoon since I first came upon Golden Age years ago and listened to it every morning while on transit. I’ve decided since then that almost anything by Sonnymoon is the the best music to listen to while traveling, whether on a train, or…
