you're still hungry

Jose Delhart - Accountability

This song is for sleepy people. There's a very quiet, albeit very steady level of energy here. The song never gets too excited, never moves too fast, never speaks above a murmur, but it brings you along with it anyway, tempting you with its narcoleptic charm rather than overwhelming your inhibitions through agitation. The guitars doze along underneath murmured words, and in the background a saw hums, hoping not to be noticed. It's all quite lovely, really.

This is from Jose's album, Little Red Buddha. You can hear more on BandCamp.

Halves - I Raise Bears

Like much of Halves' stunning debut album, this feels like being a warm person in a place of sharp cold. It's a little like living in a hotel when you have no where else to call home. The twin vocals sing together, huddled and intertwined like scarves gathering snowflakes and frost, the wind rolling about them wildly. It's a gorgeous song, and it only gets better with each listen.
