Thank you Micah for kicking off the blog. I hope everyone
had the chance to listen to Optica, a
delicious Swedish serenade. We hope v2 of ACTW is easier to get into and stay
on top of – really ride it hard.
They say, give enough monkeys typewriters and you’ll end up
with a Shakespeare play. Well, give a NASCAR driver enough left turns and
generational suffixes and you’ll end up with some smashing music, baby.
Frankly, I am
unaware of how many minutes there are of actual enjoyment and excitement in a
NASCAR race (I doubt it is the full 3.5-5.5 hours) – I would guess it would be
closer to 13 minutes and 43 seconds. Coincidentally, that is the same length of
time as the EP Patterns by Dale Earnhart Jr. Jr., my selection for
week two of ‘don’t call this a comeback’* ACTW.
This short, but righteous,
collection of songs from a Detroit duo, are a blend of indie rock, some r&b
rhythms and electro –pop. The only pattern present in this EP is that all the
songs are fantastic. Summer is here, which means dance parties outside, driving
with the windows down and the end of being/having SAD. This EP is the perfect
pill to jump-start the season.
Please, enjoy.
*lyrics from an older Shout Out Louds song. Bonus points for
those that identify it.
