thestand4rd LP
thestanda4rd decided to drop a self-titled album on us, for free. In a recent post, I gushed over the mystical visual for this super group’s lead-single, without knowing their plans to release a complete project. They then announced a tour, which I am excited to witness next week at The Roxy in Los Angeles, only days after Flying Lotus and days before FKA Twigs! While festivals cover the rest of the seasons, the Fall time is the most active for unique live shows, I’ve noticed. thestanda4rd is what happens when four unexampled up-coming artists decide to collaborate with some assistance from Dock Mckinney. Dock Mckinney is responsible for two of…

thestand4rd – Simple Needs
I am setting this new video by Alex Howard here, hoping that it will add some magic to your day. It fits in perfectly with this year’s second blood moon upon us. I previously mentioned this mesh of up-coming singers, rappers, and producers called The Stand4rd in a post about Allan Kingdom’s elusive Future Memoirs.

Canine Teeth – Thunderstorms ft. Dominic Robinson
Since The Weeknd first dropped, you might have noticed the consciousness of darker r&b rise up. Spooky Black is another amazing example of this. I’ve recently been introduced to yet another perspective with this beautiful project started by Canine Teeth’s Erik Anderson. The first single from this collaborative project, Thunderstorm suits its title with some MUST hear production. Thunderstorm is a hypnotic blend of electronic sounds with some smooth and classic, yet brooding r&B vocals provided by Dominic Robinson. It’s a perfect showcase to the rest of the first project by Canine Teeth, Leviathan, which will be available digitally on DRKArts, August 5, 2014. Follow the links for more on…

Allan Kingdom – Future Memoirs
Delivering some more NEW waves! I have been listening to Future Memoirs for a few days now, and it feels perfect to add to my growing list of music here on the frolic. The Spooky Black feature is what led me to this and other previous and equally stunning EPs by Minnesota native Allan Kingdom. Their collaboration on Wavey is one of my favorites, besides Evergreens, Souls, Famines, and Context, which all add a flavor to this rare sound. I LOVE the production on this project. Some of the sounds, when lined with his flow is really interesting and awesome! His amazing production skills and flow grants a high place…
