Arlo Parks: Ambiguous Desire

Arlo Parks is a gem of the world. Her music hits me in the most unique and special Arlo Parks ways. Her latest ridiculous pile of awesomeness is called Ambiguous Desire and has 12 tracks (the perfect number and gold standard for records) and it's taken me on many magical journeys.

One of my faves...

U2: Easter Lily EP

U2 has surprised us all with yet another amazing EP. Easter Lily is a fantabulous collection of six songs that it right into their 40+ year lexicon of stellar music.

Sharp Pins: Radio DDR

The jangly and mildly cosmic guitars of Sharp Pins are on my mind today. Their latest is called Radio DDR and it makes me feel like I'm in a psychedelic lounge in 1971. 

Dig it!

Tom Misch: Full Circle

Ora Cogan: Hard Hearted Woman (Album of the Week)

Ora Cogan has herself quite a record out. It's been soothing my heart and soul in a massive way for the last couple of weeks. Hard Hearted Woman is dragon level awesome.

And then slides marvelously into this one...

Later she rips up my heart...

Please listen to this treasure of the world.

It's the vibe, folks, That Moz Vibe!
