Can’t Get Enough of Anthonie Tonnon

February 4, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Pretty sure that this Anthonie Tonnon LP is going to be a secret hit in certain spheres of the world. It’s like an elevated version of Jens Lekman, which I’m pretty sure everyone found endearing. The production on his latest single is spot on, letting his voice take the lead, while still giving the instrumentation the proper impact. This is the sort of pop music that makes me swoon; it’s warm and has this lofty melody that allows my heart to swoon like a giddy school kid. Look for Successor on March 3rd via Wild Kindness.

What better way to kick off Monday than with some charming pop music to casually let your brain drift into focus. Los Angeles Police Department is an up-and-coming act that’s caught our attention, bringing beautiful pop music to us all. What once was a one-man act has now grown into a full-band project who are near completing their debut full-length. The soothing melodies presented on this single show us some promise that have our ears perked up for that debut, so we’ll keep you posted as more details float in.

Light Pop from The Proper Ornaments

September 4, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I think I’ve finally found the group that can replace the Lucksmiths in my category for favorite easy listening act: The Proper Ornaments. There’s an airy quality that captures my soul, yet I’m still intrigued by the quiet swell of praise the band is getting beneath the radar. The song below magically appeared in my inbox labeled as “Anthology,” and it appears on the group’s upcoming release Waiting for the Summer on Lo Recordings…you can hear the whole LP at the label’s page. But, checking in, the band are recording a video for another single that’s not on that release, yet came with my email, so I’m streaming that one; it’s called “Imagination.” Here’s the two tracks. And the story probably doesn’t matter as much as the great tunes.
