2016, music, on repeat

[on repeat] Amber Coffman//All to Myself

amber coffman

Amber Coffman (The Dirty Projectors) is venturing out on her own and based on our first taste, I believe she has a strong solo career ahead of her. “All to Myself” is the first single from the upcoming full length City Of No Reply and has a very 50s/60s doo wop sound, which i’m a big time sucker for.

Coffman sums up the new track best – “For anyone who’s ever found themselves uncomfortably restless, sad and alone, or even temporarily doubting themselves and their dreams, this is a mantra, a pep talk, a love song to yourself. It’s a song you can slow dance by yourself to without feeling funny if there’s no one else there. A small reminder not to spend too much time fretting and just to get out there, live your life and do what makes you happy.”

Enjoy the video (which Coffman also directed) below and stay tuned for more.

We’re nearly a month away from a new Justice record. The duo has dropped two tracks from the album so far and based on those alone, Woman is shaping up to be one hell of a record. Enjoy “Safe and Sound” and “Randy” below.

Here’s the album tracklist:
01 “Safe And Sound”
02 “Pleasure”
03 “Alakazam!”
04 “Fire”
05 “Stop”
06 “Chorus”
07 “Randy”
08 “Heavy Metal”
09 “Love S.O.S.”
10 “Close Call”

Woman is due out 11/18 on Ed Banger Records/Because Music.

[on the road] Daft Punk//Alive 2017

Rumor has it the robots are plotting a world tour in 2017.

A new website Alive 2017 has popped up and that alone makes me believe something big is on the horizon. Daft Punk produced two live albums, Alive 1997 and Alive 2007, named after their two tours. The timing also fits with Daft Punk playing live every ten years.

This could easily be a big internet hoax to get way too many people excited, but I believe (hope) it’s legit. Stay tuned.
