@@@ Miocardio: Barro (Self-released, 2016) Some hipster Latin indie rock off this week’s WRIR weekly playlist email. I did some Duck Duck going and could not ascertain where this musician hails from. I don’t want to hazard a guess, that’s racist. Very nice guitar and drum sounds and the record sports very nice production. The second tune is slower with some tuba and a stylish arrangement. I’m guessing Brazil for this musician, just a hunch. Very nice arrangements so check him out.
@@@ AWA POULO | Poulo Warali | Awesome Tapes From Africa. Also off this week’s WRIR playlist email. This is some pretty traditional West African music with flute, stringed instruments, hand drums, and a sort of violin. A female lead singer and she’s good, but I’m on the third tune and to be honest the playing sounds a tad flat, not a lot of energy.
@@@ Kodie Shane: Zero Gravity (Epic, 2016). I’m peeping this hip hop EP due to Lil Yachty’s participation. Lil Yachty is all right and he’s down with DRAM and I dig DRAM as well. This first tune features some dirty paper bag bass, some skitter and a swinging rhythmic flow over a spaced out keyboard part. Kodie is a gal by the way. This second tune has Lil Yachty on it. It’s slower and I don’t like it as much as the opener. Ah, that was the third tune, my damned interwebz player skipped a track. I like the first tune the most and that’s clipped below.
