“First Fires (ft. Grey Reverend)” - Bonobo
A great mellow track by Bonobo. Preview the whole album here.
Kenya Chords (by Nick Bertke)
Pogo (AKA Nick Bertke) has released a few new world remixes as of late, definitely worth checking out. See also The Ghan and Indian Pacific.
“Evil Friends” - Portugal. The Man
A great and familiar sound from the upcoming Portugal. The Man. So far, it’s only available for digital pre-order through iTunes. I hope that changes, since P.TM always has the most beautiful packaging.
“We’ve Been Here Before (Allosaurus Remix)” - Old English
In honour of the release of Toronto-based Old English’s first full length tomorrow, please enjoy this beautiful remix by Hamilton’s Allosaurus. Pre-order Prose & Kahns here.
Geometry Daily
I’m not sure how I didn’t already know about Geometry Daily, a project by Tilman Zitzmann. I really love his colour selection, really summed up in the video above. This will certainly serve as inspiration for those shapes + alpha + text + image-style designs that I love.
K-os Album Preview
BLack on BLonde, the new album by k-os, is up for preview with song-by-song commentary here. So far, the first two tracks are stand-outs and the commentary is a nice touch—makes it a more personal listening experience.
I could be wrong, but I think this is a Canada-only link; if so, just Google an album stream. They’re out there.
Experiencing God - Part IV
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)
Right before leaving earth, Jesus says the Spirit will come with power to witness. One chapter later, the Holy Spirit comes and the disciples see tongues of fire and begin speaking in different languages. This is when they receive this power, and the rest of the book of Acts describes the impact they had because of the Spirit.
Compare this with 1 Samuel 10:6, where Samuel explains to Saul…
A beautiful song and video by Youth Lagoon (AKA Trevor Powers). New to me, but I’ll definitely be keeping him on my music radar.
“Snap” - Nosaj Thing
I’ve heard a handful of excellent remixes by Nosaj Thing, and stumbled across this original piece today while browsing the depths of Soundcloud.
“Harm in Change” - Toro y Moi
Stream Toro’s Anything in Return in its entirety right now over at Pitchfork. It’s taking some time for this album to grow on me, but I will do it justice and listen to it another five hundred times to make sure that happens. Highlights of course are “Say That”, “So Many Details”, and the hearing that thumpin’ bass for the first time in “Cola”. All in all a great sound, but will take some warming up.
Experiencing God - Part III
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
A new year means new beginnings for many. Why not use that fresh burst of motivation and pour into your relationship with your Creator? Decide on a time commitment, daily, weekly, even monthly (you can do better than monthly!) and spend that time reading Scripture, thanking God, praying through that Scripture, or time in quiet with Him. I can guarantee you will find this discipline refreshing and enlightening in a way that will make you wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
Truth brings freedom.
Toro Y Moi “Say That” (by CarparkRecords)
Always groovy. New album in a few weeks.
