    • Bonobo - Distance in Static | PAN M 360
      • Fourteen tracks, seven featured singers, three languages, and somehow the whole album still sounds like it’s checking its watch and rushing. That’s the strange trick of Distance in Static, Bonobo’s eighth and club-vibed album. It’s stacked with talent — Arooj Aftab drifting through “Fire on the Water,” Joy Crookes aching her way across “Always on […]

    • Hey, Nothing. Hound. (It’s like i’ve just discovered music again for the first time.) | Kevin Toher | www.linkedin.com
      • Before advertising, KPIs, strategy decks and client meetings, there was music. For years I ran a music blog, writing about albums, gigs and artists I loved. It was never particularly sophisticated. It was just enthusiasm put into words. Over time it drifted into the background. Work got busier. Life got fuller. The blog gathered dust. Recently I've started writing again. No relaunch. No content plan. No growth strategy. Just writing. The first piece back is a review of Hound by hey, nothing, an album that reminded me why I loved doing this in the first place. If nothing else, it's nice to be putting words on a page again. Hey, Nothing. Hound. (It’s like i’ve just discovered music again for the first time.) Every now and then an album arrives that reminds you why you fell in love with music in the first place.

    I'm a fan of Spotify for music discovery and easy access to tunes on my devices. And Spotify's API was critical to building this website. But I know that Spotify is not the best way to financially support the artists I love. So, when I find myself listening to an album repeatedly I make a point of purchasing it via Bandcamp or a local record store. And I buy tickets to see musicians live (and often purchase merch at the venue.) I hope users of this site will do the same.

    Similarly, as a longtime public media journalist, I know that it takes considerable time and energy to produce the articles linked here. Please also support those writers and journalists. Subscribe to the sites you visit the most, or leave a donation where that's an option.
