Daily Dose: Sean Rowe, “Ode to Divorce”
Sean Rowe’s latest EP, Her Songs, is currently on epic repeat in my household. Rowe’s voice has always been compelling in its hard-hewn melancholy, but, by interpreting compositions by some of my favorite female artists–Regina Spektor, Sade, Cat Power, Feist, and Lucinda Williams, Neko Case–his baritone seems to take on new dimension. The perfect mood-setter for a rainy Monday in San Francisco.

So glorious I never want it to end!

Daily Dose: Alexander Wolfe, “Someone Else’s Song”
Accidents and lovers left behind, womb to tomb.
Daily Dose: L.A. Salami, “Gets You Wondering”
Our generation’s found its troubadour, folks, and somewhere…someplace…Allen Ginsberg is howling loud and clear.
Daily Dose: The Bird And The Bee, “Young and Dumb”
Because sometimes Tuesdays call for caddy cubicle dancing.
Daily Dose: Hunter Hunted, “Ready For You”
Bring it on, Monday!
Daily Dose: AroarA, “#14”
What I love most about AroarA’s In The Pines is the album’s unpredictable intelligence. Each song could almost stand alone in genre and form, but instead of leading to incohesion they function like wind chimes–the longer they reverberate off one another, the more organic the sound becomes. With lead vocals that switch from feminine to masculine, tempos that consistently shift, and pared-down layers of instrumentation that pop in and out, In The Pines is weighted by a sense of whimsy that is playful yet commanding. Quintessentially Montreal in sound, so fun and eclectic that it’s impossible to be bored; a great Saturday in the city soundtrack.
