New Music: The Caribbean – Mr. Let’s Find Out

I normally reserve Sundays for jazz, funk, rare-groove, reggae and other such soulful cool-out vibes but one listen to this indie-flavored joint from The Caribbean’s forthcoming Discontinued Perfume album dropping February of next year and it’s clear this fits the bill. Click play and enjoy…

New Music: The Hush Now – On Holiday

This one was an unexpected but pleasant surprise…

“With the holidays sneaking up, The Hush Now is in the giving spirit. The Boston gents dropped a free holiday single before the Thanksgiving break, aptly titled “On Holiday.”

The track boasts a swinging Jobim-esque groove supported by a horn section that will have you hooked after the first listen. The choruses open to a gallop, with soaring vocals longing for a paradise far away from the usual holiday trappings. A place where you can drink, ‘martinis in the sun,’ and ‘Ho Ho Ho and Rum tum tum.‘”
