Amazing experimental/flow songs. Nathan Phillips is the main guy behind this project. I think he's been a really underrated musician for quite a while. His old project The Winston Jazz Routine is amazing. Seems like this newest record is getting the most press of any of his projects and it's really cool. I also recommend Big Bend's last record "Radish."
dude is going places. if you only know him from his song Naked that blew up on TikTok a few years ago, do yourself a favor and get into the rest of his catalogue. such a unique sound and energy and truly one of the most unapologetically in his own lane artists out there rn. some favs:
Talk Words
Apocalypse Love Song
The Suburbs
I Want to Be Loved
Things About My Baby
Right Next
A really cool diverse record that a friend recommended. I love albums that don’t restrict themselves to a formula. This album does a lot of interesting exploration that keeps things pretty fresh.
Blown away by his music. Got to see him live in LA a few weeks ago! The new album, Death Jokes, is great. It's like a fractured take on pop and electronic music. His voice is really unique and left of center. If you're looking for one of his more accessible records, start with Freedom, from 2018.
This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop. It’s run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about “the benefits” of chocolate and how it’s a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. He’ll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and it’s wrong a lot of the time. You’ll then buy a bar even though it’s small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way again…
If we click on a rec or ask to comment, like I'm doing now, it would be great that when I go back, it doesn't send me back to the top of the page but rather to the place where I was scrolling previously.
