Lo-fi Limelight Ft. Blacktop Freak’s “nomore”
Blacktop Freak’s new track “nomore” is a song by Nick Marinelli, an avant-garde, lo-fi artist out of Michigan.
The song is the culmination of a summer living in a self-induced, solitary state…and gazes back at a whole life spent living in the same place, seeing the same things, and realizing that it is all coming to an end, sooner than we’d like.
It’s almost as if we keep running out of time, no matter how hard we try to capture the moment, and cherish it forever. But time waits for no one.
Album Spotlight: ‘Electro Cello’ by Thomas Hewitt Jones
Thomas Hewitt Jones is an award-winning composer of contemporary classical and more commercial music.
Thomas has written three ballets which toured the UK, and his choral and instrumental pieces are quite frequently performed around the globe. Commercial commissions have included work in America and scores for films in the UK, as well as music for the London 2012 Olympics…
Recently, Thomas Hewitt Jones released a new album entitled ‘Electric Cello’. The project is a poignant fusion of neoclassical music and a more emotional, winsome vibration. It’s a nice little sonic reset amidst a wasteland of mainstream popular music.
Cover of the Month: Ça Plane Pour Moi
The notoriously elusive (radically cool) Whyte Horses have finally returned with a surprise single in the form of a cover of the innovative 70’s track “Ça Plane Pour Moi” (originally performed by Belgian pioneer, Plastic Bertrand).
Choosing to cover such a definitive track epitomizes the legend of the Whyte Horses, whose sound is as timeless and thoroughly contemporary, as it is progressive, and sickeningly infectious.
With a back-catalog of multi-faceted gems that gleam of a blinding, intoxicating light, Whyte Horses’ reputation is one of being able to piece together gloriously intricate pop strands in an infinitely experimental fashion.
Track of the Week: “Rest Of Our Lives” by Rah-C | Ep. 2
Rah-C is a 21 year old artist out of New York.
In the past, Rah-C has been mainly known as a rapper, but recently he dished up an infectious little lo-fi treat for his niche, yet rabid fanbase on Youtube.
The track is fresh, and is the 2nd 60 second episode from a string of short songs he’s been creating as an experimental exercise into a new world of sound. You can check out the 1st episode here, and the 3rd one here, but today we’ll be diving into episode #2 — entitled “Rest Of Our Lives”.
Yesterday, I reached out to Rah-C to see what was up with this unexpected departure from an art form he so long stayed loyal to. This is what he had to say: “I was rapping forever, but as a result of I guess maturing and growing I’ve dove head first into this new world, but no one has really heard it yet at all. My next project is a straight up alt-pop record (away from rapping) so it’s all new territory for me.”
When Rah-C dropped his debut alt-pop gem “Rest Of Our Lives” on Youtube, he told his base to share it with their loved ones. We think he’s right. It’s quite simply some poignant lo-fi alt-pop emitting a new love for unrestricted beauty and radical vibratory sensations. It’s some very special and unique shit. We just need a longer version, please. :p
We’ll keep you updated as Rah-C explores this new path of experimental lo-fi music, and continues to evolve as an artist. In the meantime, keep up with him on Instagram.
