Taxus Baccata – Casa del Mirto

Casa del Mirto has an incredibly classic italo-electro sound.  Chillwave synths, downtempo beats, this trio captures electronic music that’s perfect for your headphones.

Taxus Baccata is dark and haunting, yet slow and delayed at other times. It’s a wonderful mixture of the moods they can create especially in their concluding track, “Finale.” Listen to the 5 track album below and grab it in its entirety (courteous of Mashhh! Records), here.

Inbox Submission: Corridors – Observer Drift

Gems just keep landing in my inbox lately.

Meet Observer Drift, a bedroom pop project based out of Minnesota who runs along the same vein as Teen Daze, Beach House, and even hints of Long Walks On The Beach. Music that feels nostalgic, reminiscent of childhood memories, and over-exposed pictures.

Sometimes with this particular genre it’s hard to break out of the dreamy electronic sound, songs becoming flat and sounding all the same. But, Collin Ward (Observer Drift) mixes it up quite a bit in his self-produced album, Corridors. I love the simple guitar in the track, “Letters To Myself,” and the introspective nature of the rest of the album.

Listen below, and name your price at his bandcamp site. Enjoy.

If dreams had a sound

I’m really digging this Soft Lighting dude.

Loved the chill vibes he put out with his album earlier this year, as well as the very cool visuals that are usually included in his videos. He just made some more chill vibes and a cool video in the form of a cover of the Suicides’ tune “Dream Baby Dream.” He still has that grotto music vibe going on, but I think this one is more of a meditation track. I love the treatment he gives the cover with his full sounding synths and airy floating vocals. If dreams had a sound, this would be it.

Meet: Blood Orange

Devonté Hynes is one of those ultra talented guys who’s been involved in all sides of the music scene for quite some time now.

From producing to composing to writing and so on, Hynes is just solid at whatever he gets his hands into. Between working with Florence and the Machine, Basement Jaxx, Theophilus London and more, Devonté culminated the music for what would be his first release under the alias Blood Orange. Released at the end of last summer, Coastal Grooves shows a whole other side of Hynes, one that wasn’t captured with his previous moniker Lightspeed Champion (and even before that, his group Test Icicles).

“Stuphin Boulevard” is a gritty track, one for the dark cobblestone alleys and the last subway trip home. The beat is pulsating and reserved while Hynes shows off his diverse vocal style, one that blends genres effortlessly. I also dig the track, “The Complete Knock”  which has surfy guitar lines and a nice Brit-pop feel. I highly suggest checking the entire album out, one that Domino Records describes as “the music of a seedy yet inspirational New York night time.”

Get it (and right-click and enjoy).

Sutphin Boulevard – Blood Orange

The Complete Knock – Blood Orange

PS. I’ll break out his older work for some insight.

Meet: Soft Lighting

Soft Lighting is the producing alias of Bryan Cox, a synth-pop/chillwave musician hailing from Kansas City. Cox is set to release his first album on the new Synthemesc record label that was started by Teeel.

Their upcoming album, Slow Motion Silhouettes, will be released on March 1st and has a bit of a cinematic feel to it. I’ve given it a few listens now (while it’s streaming on the Soft Lighting Soundcloud page) and I’ve enjoyed each and every listen. I can hear influences from Washed Out in the vocals and the instrumental production reminds me very much of the best films of the 80′s. It seems as if each song would fit in perfectly as the soundtrack to any teenage love scene that took place during that era.

A few of the tracks in particular had what I like to call “Grotto Music” quality. In my circle, the grotto is a cave on hole 9 of the mini-golf course next to the beach house we spend our summers at. It’s private and it’s sexy. The question, “Would you like to see the grotto?” has never been answered with a “no.” So picture warm weather, a sea breeze, an awesome cave, and being extremely sexy and then you get what “Grotto Music” is all about.

Anyway, the whole album is good for the Grotto, but these two streaming below are Grotto greatness. Enjoy them and then circle March 1st on your calendar as Slow Motion Silhouettes should be on your soundtrack for the Spring.

BONUS: Soft Lighting also has this sweet 80s-esque video for the song “Up All Night.” Yeah, I’m a sucker for nostalgia, but who cares? This stuff is awesome.
