note: Something different. Instead of purpose built playlist, this one takes form of a postcard like short message. That feeling of trying to tell so much in so little space. But it works anyway. I want it to be transparent and no irony, direct and wide as open sky. I think it works. Band to mention: Coltrane Motion, a band from Chicago just releases their latest album. Check it out it is a nice progression from their previous release. Richer and with much firmer execution, yet maintaining that oddly angular Chicago sound. Think of them as psych math rock.. (I made that up) Medeski Martin & Wood also released a new album. It’s incredibly fun, entirely different theme than their previously large and complicated work. This one is filled with children sound and adventure. Makes you smile and bop your head along. The album is worth checking out. I love it.
