Intro Wednesday // Among Savages

I love this haircut.

It's wednesday! Halfway through the week. Woo! This means it is Intro Wednesday and this means I am gonna introduce to you guys another artist (one person claps).

So today I am sharing an artist by the name of Among Savages. He is an unsigned artist out of Nashville, which always makes me happy, being so close to Nashville. His music can definitely be described as indie and maybe a little experimental. Lots of strings and piano, sweet and poetic lyrics. I am drawn to the full sound of his songs. The mix is full of all sorts of instruments. If this doesn't give you any idea what he sounds listen down below or go to his facebook music page. To maybe give you a better idea his page claims his influences as Bjork, Little Dragon, Miike Snow, Richard Ashcroft, Radiohead, and Disney. His music is full of expression and the lyrics tell great stories that seem to fit perfect with the music.


He released his first full length album in January and it is called Wanderings of an Illustrative Mind. You can grab it at the bottom of my page in my store.


This is the opening track and one of my favorites so far. Hope you enjoy and tell me what you think!

Article Find!!

Check out this interesting article I found over at Paste Magazine. It's called 20 Musicians Discuss Their College Majors and whether or not you know or love the musicians it's super cool to see what they studied or if they even use it. There's some good ones. Click the link!

Intro Wednesday // Washed Out

I've decided to have a weekly posting called Intro Wednesday (or something cooler if I can come up with a better name). Intro Wednesday will be a day that I post about a band or artist I have been listening to or really love. I'm not claiming each one will be a completely new, cutting edge band you've never heard of. They might even be old or I might share an old song because I love going back to old album or song and remembering why I loved it so much in the first place. Either way, welcome to Intro Wednesday and I hope you will check back to see who I posted about.

So for my first post I'm gonna share an artist called Washed Out. I love this guy. His real name is Ernest Greene and he makes music that fits in the genere of chillwave. This is like electronic, flowing, easy listening dance music. It's really good and you should check out the genre itself. I first found out about him after watching one of my favorite shows Portlandia, for one of his songs is featured in the opening credits (it will be posted below). I had to know what the song was and I was opened up to a whole new world of beautiful music.

So far he has one E.P. out called Within and Without and his full length is called Life of Leisure. I recommend both for they won't disappoint. And here is a link to his tour dates.

This music and this song in particular is absolutely perfect for a wondrous, sunny day like today. Windows down, smoking on the front porch or chilling in your backyard. Buy from my store. I hope you enjoy.
