Papercuts – Future Primitive

It’s been two years since we  heard from Papercuts’ Jason Robert Quever, when Can’t Go Back emerged from under the wings of Andy Cabic and Devendra Banhart’s label Gnomosong. Since then, Quever has working with Beach House, Cass McCombs and Vetiver. But this track, from the forthcoming You Can Have What You Want, sounds like a refreshing step forward for Papercuts, the r’n'b bass line and mumbled melody suggesting that something from his time with the aforementioned bands has rubbed off.

Aphex Twin – Rhubarb

My main problem with Valentine’s Day is that we shouldn’t need a specific day set aside for all things romantic – especially when it usually inspires little more than a reluctant obligation to book dinner, buy some flowers/chocolate and a Hallmark card.

Vetiver – ‘Houses’

With A Thing of the Past, Andy Cabic found the perfect way to bring his band together: a cover album of mostly obscure folk-rock tunes filtered through Vetiver’s characteristic sound. It’s a breezy amble from Townes Van Zandt to Hawkwind, culminating in a hushed and wonderfully warm take on Bobby Charles’ “I Must Be In A Good Place Now.” Continue Reading »
