Didn’t even know this was out ’til I saw it in the Rdio new releases section. It’s actually really, really good. The album title fits perfectly for this vibey, woozy but still soulful head music. Think if Pharcyde smoked up with Cypress Hill and you’re getting close. Check it out on Rdio if this soundcloud promo preview player gets take down.

This came to me via my submission inbox which, truth be told, I don’t check as often as I used to or should so it’s purely by luck that I even stumbled on this. As the official PR blur (below) says, musically NY co-ed duo, Hello Phones are a little all over the map, which from my point of view, is usually the kiss of death. The singer is also not technically a ‘great’ singer but her voice works for these songs which range in sound from everything from new wavey, synth pop to crunchy guitar and dreamy 60’s, pop-soul. But, as I opined on twitter the other day, that’s proof that great music is not just about ‘technical proficiency’ whatever that even means. Anyway, check out the entire album via the bandcamp stream above, there’s a bonus download of one track from the album, “NYID” below and here’s that PR blurb:
Hello Phones is a new band from New York City. Living and creating in New York lends itself to certain inescapable influences, musical and otherwise. Hello Phones music crosses genres and scenes, and hopes to help blur those lines as much as possible, as this has become their approach to music.

When I went to see the Marley doc on Wednesday, they showed this trailer during the previews. Ironically, just a few days before that I had been deriding people who complained about wind turbines because they “spoiled their view” but this trailer made me re-think that comment and how wind power is implemented in general.
