First up, congrats to my sis! She’s getting married today and i’m super happy for her. Second, i’m officially on vacation as I write this and it feels GLORIOUS! So, in celebration of both occasions, i’ve got two extra good picks for today’s edition of GOOD.
Phantogram is a “street beat, psych pop” duo from NY. Although active since 2007, the duo had a big 2010. Earlier this year, they signed with Barsuk Records and also released their latest, Eyelid Movies, which has been a staple on year end lists this year.
Purchase on iTunes.
Next up, TV on the Radio bandmember/producer Dave Sitek’s solo-side project, Maximum Balloon.
This record was another favorite of mine and barely missed out on a spot on my top 10 of 2010 list. The record includes contributions by a ton of guests (pretty much every track), including David Byrne, Karen O, Aku, Theophilus London, and Little Dragon. There’s really not a bad song on the record, but the Little Dragon collaboration is my personal favorite.
Purchase on iTunes.
Still in need of more GOOD? 35mmBeats has you covered.
