Janka Nabay, Lemonade, Tamlines, True Panther Sounds
So True Panther Sounds will be releasing 3 pretty heavy releases all on the same day, April 13th. Tanlines, Lemonade, Janka Nabay. I had a chance to sit down with all three of these releases earlier this week & I'm still salivating! The newest Ep from Lemonade could have been enough, but no throw in Brooklyn experimental pop duo Tanlines which sort of reminds me of El Guincho/Vampire Weekend or one of many dance acts to come out of Modular and you have 2 kick ass releases.
But True Panther didn't stop there, they finish off the trifecta with Janka Nabay's debut release in states. Who the hell is Janka Nabay you say?
Here's the line on Nabay, refugee from Sierra Leone where he was a huge star, left after being persecuted by rebels, now lives in Philly where up to this point has survived on various odd jobs. The music he makes is called Bubu, Bubu King is the first Bubu music released in the states.
All 3 releases are really dope. Seriously you should pick them up.

The Tallest Man on Earth
It's no secret that I've been telling anyone within ears shot that the new record from Sweedens Tallest Man on Earth is absolutely gorgeous & special. The Wild Hunt, Matsson's sophmore release has just landed courtesy of Dead Oceans. Now while most people swoon over the likes of Jose Gonzalez or the latest guitar plucking folk singer to stand in front of a mic, The Tallest Man on Earth is 100% real. No gimmicks, no blog hype, no remixes, just straight ahead musical sincerity.
Don't get me wrong, I love Gonzalez as much as the next guy, I just feel that Matsson deserves a bit of love. Actually quite a lot of love. So do yourself a favor & pick up a copy of the new record & do your part in thanking The Tallest Man on Earth for providing such an authentic soundtrack to an already heavy populated genre.
Don't take my word for it? Check prts 1 & 2 below & finish things off with a nice Jackson Browne cover while Mastsson cruises around the shop.

My Side Of The City 4/3/10
Nice pase to this weeks show, happy I finally got to squeeze in the Miles Kurosky record. The Tallest Man On Earth record is quite amazing so you should definitely pick that one up. Closing out the show with something from Mix Master Morris (The Irrestible Force) = Dopeness! I'll tell you what else equals dopeness, bunny hoping around South Pasadena while listening to Granddaddy. I highly recommend it.
