3 Songs: On Repeat
Corrina
Repp
– “Need You/Don’t Need You” (After a failed relationship soured a cross-country
move; the songwriter, formerly of Tu Fawning, dotted the map with a nomadic
spirit that inspired her fifth solo album, How
A Fantasy Will Kill Us All, out now on Jealous Butcher Records. That sense of freedom and adventure
translates to an experimental yet cohesive set of songs, led by the
hypnotically haunting, loop-based single, heard here. Repp recorded the album in Louisville with
the assistance of Danny Seim of Menomena and it is a wonderful world waiting to
be explored via headphones!) https://www.jealousbutcher.com/collections/all/products/how-a-fantasy-will-kill-us-all
Theotis
Taylor – “Something Within Me” (At 90 years old, the Georgia-based
Gospel music pianist/vocalist Theotis Taylor recently released his debut album,
Something Within Me, via Big Legal
Mess Records. The album is made up of
recordings of Taylor’s blues-soaked voice and piano recorded in 1979 alongside
newly recorded studio accompaniment from Liz Brasher, Jimbo Mathus of Squirrel
Nut Zippers and Will Sexton. Relatively
unheard outside his Georgia church, despite receiving recognition in the 1990s
for his appearances at Carnegie Hall’s Folk Masters Series “There’s 12 Gates to
the City”: Black Gospel Styles, the Apollo Theatre, and at the NAACP’s 90th
Convention, Taylor’s inspiring and uplifting Gospel music will now be heard my
many, as it should.) https://biglegalmessrecords.com/products/something-within-me
Kleenex
Girl Wonder – “Tratteggio” (The NY indie-rock band
led by the ever-prolific songwriter, Graham Smith, recently released, Vana Mundi, his latest in a long line of
albums. Best known for his lengthy,
verbose lyric sheets and highly-melodic Kinks-like brand of power-pop; Smith
has crafted an intriguing concept album of sorts, with Vana Mundi – which translates from Latin to “Empty World” – about the
balance between alienation and ego.
Check out the standout single below with its stop/start rhythm and super-catchy
melodies.) http://kgw.me/
