Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Blue Record EP (JAGJAGUWAR)

Written By 1 - December 12 2013

UMO-Blue-Record-608x608

Available Here

Portland/Kiwi combo Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s follow up to January’s sophomore set II is an acoustic EP called Blue Record. It features spare unplugged versions of their own material plus covers of Beck and — as we heard last month — Dirty Projectors. And while an acoustic record might seem like an odd turn for a band that typically deals in dubby compact psych, this thing is a seriously lovely 15-minute finger-plucked excursion that fans of Jose Gonzalez (specifically) and nimble acoustic fretwork (generally) will gratefully gobble

Tracklist:

1. Swim & Sleep (Like A Shark) (Acoustic Version) 2. Faded In The Morning (Acoustic Version) 3. So Good at Being in Trouble (Acoustic Version) 4. Swing Lo Magellan 5. Puttin’ It Down

Various - Jukebox Jam Vol.2 (JAZZMAN)

Written By 1 - December 11 2013

jmanlp062

Available Here on 2LP, contact us here for CD

The original Jukebox Jam Blues & Rhythm Revue compilation album was released in September 2011, a collection which brought together the dynamic and varied R&B sounds of Liam Large's London based club night and reissue label. With an action-packed, all-killer set, it quickly became an instant classic, a comp of vintage sounds which truly stood out in an ever-saturated market. 

Two years on, and we are proud to unleash the second volume of Jukebox Jam, another collection of 23 obscure masterpieces from mid-century America. Perhaps even more ambitious than Vol 1, the follow-up broadens the scope of investigation by digging both deeper back into the 1940s - with a couple of jazzy blues numbers, and further into the 1960s - with gritty rock and roll and early Detroit soul both featuring prominently. In between these sounds, there's of course a healthy fill of dirty '50s blues, jumping R&B and swinging popcorn, but it's safe to say that on this set, the surprises come a little more frequently. We're very confident that Jukebox Jam Vol. 2 is another essential classic in waiting.

Tracklist & Soundclips: 1. MAMIE PERRY - LAMENT 2. BILLY HAMLIN - IF YOU AIN'T GOT NO BREAD 3. YOUNG JESSIE - MARY LOU 4. JOHNNY WEST - TEARS BABY 5. GIL BERNAL - KING SOLOMON'S BLUES 6. DEWEY GUY - ROCK A WHILE 7. BROTHER WOODMANS COMBO - HOT MAMMA 8. BETTY JAMES - HENRY LEE 9. AMOS MILBURN - I DONE DONE IT 10. DAVE BARTHOLOMEW - CAT MUSIC 11. SAUNDERS KING - SWINGIN 12. STEVE GIBSON - BIG GAME HUNTER 13. BIG SIS ANDREWS - THAT AIN'T THE WAY TO DO IT 14. BUDDY JOHNSON - IF I EVER FIND YOU 15. THE MARK VI - CLEO 16. BARRETT STRONG - MISERY 17. MARY ANN FISHER - PUT ON MY SHOES 18. THE ORIGINALS - LITTLE LONELY GIRL 19. BILLY EMERSON - I'LL GET YOU, TOO 20. UNTOUCHABLES - CRAWLIN 21. GRAINGER HUNT - NOAH 22.

Yancey Boys - Sunset BLVD. 2LP (DELICIOUS VINYL)

Written By 1 - December 05 2013

Available Here

Delicious Vinyl proudly releases Sunset Blvd, the new album from Yancey Boys, the group piloted by John “Illa J” Yancey and Frank Nitt. The dynamic new collection is built around previously unheard tracks created by Illa J’s brother: the late, great J Dilla (James Yancey). With Frank Nitt’s standing as J Dilla Music Catalog Curator and the official approval of Yancey Media Group, all productions on Sunset Blvd originate from The Lost Scrolls — the stunning cache of beats Dilla left behind. With its rapturous single “Quicksand” featuring Common, Sunset Blvd also teams Yancey Boys with De La Soul’s Posdnuos (“Beautiful”), The Pharcyde’s SlimKid3 (“Rock My World”), and T3 of Slum Village (“Jeep Volume”), making it clear that the Dilla legacy is being represented by those who knew and collaborated with Dilla in his lifetime. Additional guests on Sunset Blvd include DJs Rhettmatic, C-Minus, and J Rocc (Beat Junkies) as well as rap roughneck Guilty Simpson and R&B strongman Eric Roberson. “We’ve created an album that would make Dilla proud,” says Frank Nitt, who grew up with Dilla in Detroit. “But this isn’t a nostalgia trip: Dilla’s beats were so future-forward that they’re right on time in 2013, and we’ve assembled the best artists possible to represent that.” The road to Sunset Blvd has been paved with hard work and sweet inspiration. In 2008, Illa J began making music under the Yancey Boys banner, with the guidance of Delicious Vinyl Co-Founder Michael Ross and utilizing beats his elder brother left behind. Ross explains: “Putting together the first Yancey Boys album was a unique opportunity to keep it all in the family by giving young Illa J a jump off with unreleased beats of his late great brother. In addition, the record was a unique way to satiate Dilla's rabid fan base with a batch of undiscovered gems. On Sunset Blvd, Illa and Frank dive deep into to a new batch of stunning unreleased Dilla beats to take what we did on the first album to the next level.” SIDE ONE: 1. Dilltro (feat. Dank) 2. Fisherman (feat. Vice, J Rocc, & Detroit Serious) 3. Lovin’ U (feat. Eric Roberson) 4. Go And Ask The DJ (feat. Guilty Simpson & J Rocc) SIDE TWO: 5. Jeep Volume (feat. T3 & C-Minus) 6. Flowers (feat. Talib Kweli, Niko Gray, & Rhettmatic) 7. Honk Ya Horn (feat. J. Pinder) SIDE THREE: 8. Slippin’ (feat. Early Mac) 9. Without Wings 10. Beautiful (feat. Posdnuos & Botni Applebum) SIDE FOUR: 11. Quicksand (feat. Common & Dezi Paige) 12. Rock My World (feat. SlimKid3 & Niko Gray) 13. The Throwaway 14. This Evening

Oddisee - The Beauty In All LP (MELLO MUSIC GROUP)

Written By 1 - November 22 2013

Oddisee-the-beauty-in-all (1)

Available Here

Instrumental album by Oddisee. The Beauty In All is about the flaws & mistakes that give life its character and worth - how even ignorance can give light to knowledge. For me, not knowing how to do something & still trying is a process that helped my production style evolve. If everything we are is out in perfect tutorials, we might never deviate from the teacher. This record is dedicated to imperfection and the sense of pride & accomplishment we get from our struggles. Hopefully, you listen to this record, reflect on the ups & downs of life, and see the beauty in all.
