So much new music to listen to here at WMNF. And the music is in every genre, some songs combining a bunch of genres. Did you want science fiction/art noise/hip hop? Hello, Clipping. How about psychedelic Tropicalia pop? Yay, new Allah-Las. But first let’s start with this artist:
The Soul of John Black (This is an older video, but he has a new release, Early in the Moanin’ that is amazing and was just put in the Hot Box)
*********************
This is what our Program Director had to say about Shovels and Rope:
We have been waiting for this for a while as this album is already been doing very well. This is the popular husband and wife duo who have sold out a couple of shows locally (Crowbar, State). Expecting an Americana sound, Flee and I were shocked at the first track which rocks hard like an out-take from T-Rex. The album has some loud rocking tracks and some quieter tunes so everybody should find something to their liking.
*********************
Joseph is a trio of sisters that have a little throwback in their sound because of the killer harmonies. Here is Randy’s take ~
Big buzz about the breakthrough from three sisters from Portland Oregon. . Thier album has zoomed to number 3 on the Public Radio Triple A, they are already on Bonnaroo’s list for 2017, and a show in Orlando’s Hard Rock Live 9/19 sold out quickly.
********************
Michael Kiwanuka continues to blow our minds as we dive into his entire new album, Love & Hate. This is a long video, but this song is AMAZING.
********************
Clipping is getting a little extra attention right now because vocalist/rapper Daveed Diggs originated the roles of Lafayette and Jefferson in the splendid Hamilton, and now is appearing on black-ish and other shows. They will be playing St. Pete on November 1.
********************
And WMNF Fav The Allah-Las new release, Calico Review, keeps some of their sun-drenched sound, but adds a little darkness.
