current listening: michael kiwanuka
there’s a lot of good new music out right now (e.g. frank ocean, gaslight anthem, dirty projectors), but i can’t turn off michael kiwanuka’s debut album home again. kiwanuka cut his teeth as a london based session player before stepping out as a solo artist late last year. home again is a stripped down, raw record of throwback 60′s / 70′s soul. i tend to stay away from records you can buy at the starbucks counter, but kiwanuka is special. be sure to check out “tell me a tale”, “i’m getting ready,” and the dan auerbach collaboration “lasan.”
