We Swim You Jump ~ Self titled album
Haven’t heard a album like this in a while now; something other then The Blueprint 3 that gets me excited for sitting in the sand on those long summer evenings I keep hearing about, but never see…
Elliot Smith-alike layered voice, over a hellishly rhythmic and catchy band, We Swim You Jump are light and fluffy and their five track self titled record will happily sit on repeat this summer.

Sufjan Stevens ~ The BQE Project
The BQE Project is a massive multi media explosion by talent-ridden, overachiever Sufjan Stevens.

Kanye West x Spike Jonze – We Were Once a Fairy Tale
It’s only a matter of time before this gets taken down – but get in quick for a look at this mental Kanye & Jonze collaboration. They’re both maniacs in the best way possible. Take a look the dark and inspiring clip that emerged once they came together.

Kid CuDi ~ Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
Kid CuDi has had a hard time recently. The rapid rise to fame via his cult-to-club hit Day n Night has been rough on the New Yorker from Cleveland. So bad, that he decided he would “rather be dead broke” then to continue in the hip-hop game, announcing his retirement before his debut album had hit the shelves.
Now that his album is out, listening to it makes me think its been going on this way his whole life.
The album tells tails of a lonely kid growing up without his dad, struggling with his vices but bursting with creative confidence. It’s a fresh story for the hip-hop world, told in a unique, genre-bending way.
The album is slow, low and frankly, kind of depressing. But saying that, it already sits among among my favorite albums. The album screams authorship, CuDi tells his own story, in his own way.
There are a couple of tracks that will slip into my summer playlists, – Simple As will be first to top the charts – but in general this is a nighttime-driving album. Listen to it solo dolo, give it a go, even if you don’t recognize hip-hop. This one is a genre-bender to breaking point.

New Slang + Don’t Panic ~ Amazing live cover performance
Live at Air Studios – Shins, New Slang + Coldplay, Don’t Panic (cover by Cass Lowe, Marcel Legane, James Wyatt, etc.)
Described as a hasty Sunday afternoon recording. This mash up of two old favorites gives me chills! Oh what you can achieve on a Sunday…
