http://kwabsmusic.com/ This song truly moves me. Kwabs released a new single with the announcement of his debut full length album Love + War. If you read my Favourites of 2014 you’ll know that I’m a big fan and he’s due for a full length very soon. A line in his new single “Perfect Ruin” perfectly sums up how I feel about it: “it moves me.” This track hits me in the heart so well I don’t even want to call it fire. It’s more than fire. The song soars above it all sending a chill down my spine. Kwabs’s gospel … Continue reading What I’m Listening To: Perfect Ruin by Kwabs

January 29, 2015January 29, 2015 The Eggplant Stereo

2014 was a strange but excellent year. Lots of travel and new music and friends, and many changes. Highlights included bringing in the new year at The Woodford Festival in Australia, where I heard so much incredible music and experienced their life changing Fire Event / Closing Ceremony on Jan 1st; Folk Alliance International in Kansas City, with even more incredible music and a keynote by Al Gore; crazy week at SXSW in Austin, where I had my mind blown apart at Bill Bragin’s globalFEST showcase… and that was just the first 3 months of the year. Best 3 Albums … Continue reading Christian’s Favourites of 2014

Adam’s Favourites of 2014

January 26, 2015January 26, 2015 The Eggplant Stereo

2014 – so much good music, so how do you narrow it down? I’m just breaking it down to the stuff I could always put on no matter when/where. Those albums where you’re scrolling through your library of a billion songs and don’t feel like listening to any of ’em, and they’re there as your go-to. My Favourite Songs: Majid Jordan – “A Place Like This” I’m not a big R&B fan, but for some reason, this track sticks. Courtney Barnett – “History Eraser” Tove Lo – “Habits – Hippie Sabotage Remix” It’s weird to hear your 7 and 3 … Continue reading Adam’s Favourites of 2014
