Rewind by Syvan Esso (Echo Mountain Sessions)

In April 2017 Sylvan Esso assembled a live band comprised of their close friends and collaborators- members of Mountain Man, Wye Oak, The Dead Tongues, The Mountain Goats and Megafaun- to arrange and record full-band versions of songs from their new album What Now. The band took this experiment to Echo Mountain Studios, located in the mountains of North Carolina, and cut five songs live in one day.

YALLA » a GFYE mix

It’s been 429 days since my last mix… let’s just say a lot has changed for me. Not my love for music, that’s for sure – nor the time to listen to music, new and old – but the time to craft something and get it out there. The main, major change is that I picked up and left Los Angeles for Dubai. After 30 years of being a Californian, I seized an opportunity to join the expat ranks and build a career abroad. Anyhow, yalla - let’s go. Press play and pass it around if you like it.

“When I Get My Hands on You” by The New Basement Tapes

“The New Basement Tapes was written and performed in creative collaboration by Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James and Marcus Mumford. The artists and Burnett gathered in Capitol Studios in March to write and create music for a treasure trove of recently discovered lyrics handwritten by Bob Dylan in 1967 during the period that generated the recording of the legendary Basement Tapes.”

Listen to “Soccer Ball,” a highlight from Nouns’ latest cassette Still.

It’s been a long long time, and this isn’t even really the kind of stuff I’ve been listening to lately… but damn if it didn’t force me to post!

PREMIERE

I got an email lately from my buddy Andrew Donovan from Fayetteville, Arkansas telling me about this great solo artist he discovered randomly online, but Joshua Vest’s music

“Josh told me he’s been recording this stuff at home by himself and doesn’t have a live band yet. I replied and told him that if he needs a guitar player to hit me up. About a month later we had our first practice. The other members are Joel Paul, from the band Swimming, on bass and Rob Storms on drums. It’s a little poppier than [my project] Voyageurs.”

Get this one hot off the press on the Sndcld, and look for more singles and a bit of touring this summer. I can see these boys going far!
