Jay’s Sounds of 2013

Jay — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:11:46 +0000

2013 was a year of nostalgia, for me personally and also in the music that accompanied me throughout, more so than any year I can remember. This year was also my first here at the Most Definitely, which I can’t thank Max and Tim enough for. In putting together my hour-long 2013 year-end playlist, I really tried to focus on this retro-yet-new and exciting feel that embodied the past year. From the ’70s sound of the Preatures; ’80s of Oliver, Holy Ghost! and Wild Nothing; to the ’90s of Cut Copy and Jagwar Ma, it is all there — refreshingly nostalgic, yet freshly new.

Hopefully, this playlist captures the crazy ride that was 2013 and joins the ranks of Tim’s, Max’s, and Jason’s. Give it a listen below and here’s to what 2014 has to offer!

Blood Orange – You’re Not Good Enough (Holy Ghost! Bootleg)

Tim — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 20:35:03 +0000

This is a slow Monday. Maybe it’s my brain is just fried from Holiday Gauntlet. Maybe I’m just feeling like I need some down time. Whatever the reason may be, This Holy Ghost! remix of Blood Orange is exactly what the doctor ordered. Just the perfect amount of funk and soul. Take it for a spin and enjoy.

TMD Labor Day All Day Mixtape

Tim — Fri, 30 Aug 2013 04:10:23 +0000

I’m feeling all kinds of sexy right now. I just can’t shake this deep house I got going through my veins. I’m going off the deep house deep end. Never have I been in so deep. And never have I loved it so much. So, this isn’t actually our monthly mixtape. This is an extra special mixtape that I just had to share with you before your weekend hits. This makes me want to turn it out. You should probably not listen to this at work, cause it’s game over once you do. Put it on when it’s the other kind of business time. Enjoy. This, like many before it, is my favorite mixtape I have ever made.

Holy Ghost! – “Okay”

Jay — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:15:26 +0000

Holy Ghost! are set to release new LP Dynamics on September 10th and kickoff a new tour in just a few days. Today, they have shared a second track (the first being “Dumb Disco Ideas“) off of Dynamics, “Okay.” It seems the track was originally named “It’s Okay,” but now has been shortened to simply “Okay.” Regardless, it has the vintage-y synthpop sound that the New York duo have become well-known for and continues in the positive trajectory of their self-titled debut. According to Alex Frankel, via Rolling Stone, “Okay” is about ‘being in a situation – in this case a relationship – that feels like a B-movie: You know you should turn it off but you just . . .can’t.’ Judge for yourself below.

Holy Ghost – I Wanna Be Your Hand (teaser)

Jason — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:48:32 +0000

BOOM! Am I ever excited about this. Holy Ghost! has given us a little taste of a new album that’s going to be released on September, 10th. It’s been a while since we heard from the boys from the Upper West Side (and more recently from Brooklyn). I’ve been craving a new tune from them or even an appearance around town and it seems like we’re going to get it. Of the three samples they’ve dropped I Wanna Be Your Hand is my favorite so far, but I will reserve judgement until I can get more than just this tasty little morsel they’ve left for us. GET PSYCHED!!!!
