Saw this electro-acoustic cloud trio at the Avalon last night and was impressed by their live set. They pulled structure out of some interesting moments. Great set of WWII-era oscillators among their gear pile. Curious to sit down with this new EP.

In 1970, Ernie from Sesame Street made it to #16 on the Billboard Charts with “Rubber Duckie”

This week is the 150th edition of Listening Habit 🎂🎉

We’ve got good news, bad news and lots of tight jams (spanning old soul, new dad-bod disco, ‘00s big beat sample sources, synth-y french library joys and more).

When everyone was sharing Spotify wrapped, I thunk to myself how much I missed music blogs, & thoughtful recommendations by lovers of music, not just data recaps. Thankfully, @listeninghabit.bsky.social still has one. A Saturday inbox blessing, each week.

A high-energy, uptempo guitar-funk edit that'll have you jumping up and down when the horns hit. This comes from a busy Brazilian label.

This recent EP from Lapalux is a stunner, if you’re looking for something in the vein Aphex Twin circa Windowlicker. Glitchy yet beautiful.

I think I would have an easier time with the Avett Bros x Mike Patton album if it were definitely a joke. But it’s not, right?

I've always enjoyed this cover, which screams 1992.
