Cymande: “Sweeden”
It's funky Friday! Cymande released their first 3 funk albums between 1972-74. They weren't popular enough to last into the '70s but their music was sampled decades later and they are now more popular than ever. Their mix of Afrobeat, funk, and soul music may have been ahead of its time in the early '70s, … Continue reading Cymande: “Sweeden”
Stereolab: “Aerial Troubles”
I mentioned Stereolab yesterday in my post of the new Big Thief single, so it makes sense to highlight the new Stereolab album today. It is titled Instant Holograms on Metal Films and it is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg69OglydeE

The band Geese released one of the best albums of 2023 (3D Country) and lead singer Cameron Winter released his debut solo album in December 2024.
