January Mixtape updated1 JANUARY IS MOTION

GRAPHIC BY TERRA SCHNEIDER

Happy New Year, folks! For January’s mixtape theme, I chose motion. Even though the new year is an arbitrary date and resolutions are hard to stick to and America is a hungover mess today and yadda yadda yadda, I still get really amped about the fresh start, and I’m sure I’m not alone. This playlist is meant to get your blood pumping and infuse your brain with happy vibes. Think of it as waking up on the right side of the bed, like, 31 times in a row.

Of special note, “Rooftop”, which appears in this month’s mixtape, is taken from the Lady Lamb the Beekeeper debut studio release Ripely Pine, due out [READ ON]

Swedish quartet, Little Dragon (@littledragon) spent Friday night captivating an over-capacity audience at Terminal 5. Surprisingly early to stage, frontwoman Yukimi Nagano reeled the crowd in with several extended renditions of tracks from Machine Dreams as well as a host of tunes from their newest release, Ritual Union. Using their trademark metronomic synth-filled charm, they had the New York City flock pleading for their sway-worthy beats.

Now I have been listening through this album time and time again searching for that one element to focus on, explore, and/or elaborate on – but it isn’t there. Before you take this as a negative album review, finish reading.
