I have been essentially cut off from current music for the last couple of years in my pregnancy/baby bunker, and am not hip to teh good new stuff. I tried checking out the best of 2013 thread, but a lot of folks were just posting pictures of covers that I couldn't identify or talking about music without referencing what genre it was. So, PLEASE TO RECOMMEND ME SOME GOOD RECENT MUSICS!
I'm looking for anything relatively upbeat or relaxed (no downers, please) that I can bump in the ride, whilst grilling, or just hanging around the house. I like teh rocks, teh rapps, teh souls, and some types of electronic jamz. KNOWLEDGE ME, SOULTRUST. YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE.

I was pretty up on stuff a few years back, but fuggitÔÇöanything in the last five years is cool.
Crowns - Slow Gospel ep
Also, Mines' Just Another Thing That Got Ruined. Not completly without its downer/jarring moments, but overall a pretty affirmative listen. One for the "hanging around the house" pile.
Only had a chance to listen to some Fatima al Qadari so far, but I'm digging it.
I'll always be from Boston Feeling some Mystery Roar. Catching some early-80s Bowie vibes in the mix.

This one is ill.

Todd Terje - It's Album Time - All over the place. Some future 80's sounds. A slow cover of Johnny and Mary. Loving it.
Spark Master Tape - Horror-trap-ganster-rap - I'm loving this, but it might not be for everyone.
Connan Mockasin - Kind of Flight of the Concords meets R Kelly. His live recordings are great.
Grizzly Bear - Shields B-Sides
Jessy Lanza - Female Indie Electro
Kurt Vile - A little Tom Petty-ish, excellent.
Thundercat - Some great jazzy electro stuff with a modern flair
Suuns - I love everything they do. Modern indie rock with a dream-pop feel. A bit like Clinic, but I think better.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Modern indie rock with a psych feel.
Rare Times - Modern / R&B throwback
Mac DeMarco - Lo-Fi singer songwriter - might be too sleepy.
woah, this is awesome!
100 views only tho? Sometimes i wonder what the public wants exactly..
+1
Nice one, Harv.
140 Instrumental Grime Mix by Oke on Mixcloud
I cosign Kurt Vile above, and his former band, The War on Drugs. Their new record is on some lost Petty-Dire Straits vibes that I do not hate.
I stay on Thee Oh Sees. New album isn't necessarily my favorite of their CONSIDERABLE output, but "Floating Coffin," "The Dream," and "Help!" are all great albums. Nuevo-garage rock for days.
One of their cohorts, Ty Segall put out a fantastic, stripped down record last year, "Sleeper". That one is HIGHLY recommended, though not the RAWK. It is REALLY good.
Yep, very much so.
My friend Marlow has a new EP out on Sonar Kollektiv. Especially the second track hits hard. His LP is in the making.
Great stuff. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of edit/sample based or completly self-produced?
Gotdamn, this shit is heavy as fuck...
They're a living, breathing 8-piece band - I don't think there are any samples in there just some great musicians. The album is on Soundway, which is a nice touch.
