Music I Love: Everything Everything. Describing this band is a daunting task. They did us a favor with their name, musically and lyrically they really do try to incorporate everything. They fit into a lineage that includes The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Tears for Fears, XTC, and Radiohead. It’s dark, funny, philosophical, progressive pop. But they clearly like metal, hip hop, and straight arena pop...or at least they’re having a conversation with all of that. And throughout all of their work is a consistent conceptual thread that connects the lyrics, which are brilliant. It’s anthropological, and maybe a little apocalyptic. You don’t need to think the heady thoughts to enjoy their music, but you feel a depth of thought in all of their music. Start with the song “Distant Past” from the album Get To Heaven, produced by @stuartmprice , released by @bigpicnic
And if you get the chance, see them live. On top of being one of the most interesting bands making records, they’re also flawless on stage.

Music I Love: Dent May. Why I love Dent May’s music. There are many reasons for this. I think he is funny. His music feels like the soundtrack of a goofy southern dandy moving to LA with big dreams and getting bruised up by the gruesome glamour machine, but he’s still having fun. Musically, he’s a brilliant songwriter, with a Beach Boys via Animal Collective feel, covered by a lounge singer on a cruise ship. But cool. Start with the album “Across the Multiverse”, released on @carparkrecords ~

“Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds was requested, so here’s my cover of that, with a ridiculous video I made. In case you don’t immediately recognize the song, it’s the theme of Peaky Blinders, and has been used in a ton of movies (Scream, Dumb and Dumber). Check it out here or on YouTube.
