Song of the Day - "Sink Into the Floor" - Feng Suave



Listening to the sensual tones of Feng Suave feels blasphemous at 10:55 am. This is a late night song that deserves to be played into the early morning sunset. Beginning with the gently tickling of the keys and soft brush against the frets. "I swear I saw you in the Vatican" The lead singer one of the two Daniels that makes up the core of Feng Suave has one of those persuasive voices a blend of a Sam Smith pre his last song and a splash of John Legend. He knows how to work his vocals so one sways to the surfy guitar rhythm and wants to love the one you are with. "No love it's close enough... It's only fine just because your clothes are off."  The careful languid pace of this song then takes on an emotional cry from Daniel 1. He is telling his girl "I'm lonely because you know you were my only one" A song for lovers with sophisticated tastes who appreciate folding into a day dream. A ripe rich glass of burgundy song ripe with sweet smelling smoke rings that linger like a crushed memory.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence  draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy.  barney favors Stetson looks btw.  Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments.  Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells  a little story about his journey.  He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue.  He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap.  So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby",  Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me,  " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process.  Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

Artist of the Week - Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia

A n ironic set of results when you Google,Rubber the band.  The useful office staple pops up. This useful educational article appears Rubber: A simple introduction - Explain that Stuff There is also a 2010 movie entitled Rubber. ´ Rubber  is a 2010 English-language French independent, satirical horror film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers.” Apparently it’s based on a true story. Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia consists of Andrew Loper (Singer/Co-Writer) & John Della Franco (Producer/Co-Writer). This amiable duo is quickly gaining steam and streams.  They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
