Jordan Blackmon Shares 2 Songs

Been in an all-sorts-of-mellow mood as of late, when I came across these great tunes from Jordan Blackmon. He played with Toro y Moi as a guitarist for a bit, but has retreated to focus on his own work for the time being. The first of the tunes he’s shared is this really heartwarming piano ballad; it’s short and vocal free, and the studio mix definitely gives it a timelessness, especially when those strings swing into the song. “Family Crest” is the track that first drew me in, however, as it kind of sounds like something from the early 00s indie scene; it has lush arrangements built up around a song that seems like your best friend wrote on the spot outside your favorite coffee shop. Check it.
