Learning Music is a seriously dope project from the good friend John Wood. Basically, every month John releases a new album full of songs that stretch your imagination and musical palette. He has a stunning pop-sensibility and writes, records, mixes, and masters all of the music himself.
You can download a ton of tracks for free or, if you’re into it and a good soul, subscribe to the project at a variety of levels. I’m a subscriber and am always floored when I hear what he comes up with for each instalment, which shows up conviently in my mailbox on the first of every month courtesy of Vosotros.
A while ago I told John I wanted to cover his song Electric Letter, which I still want us to do. He beat me to the cover punch though by dropping an amazing version of Cranial Contest on this month’s album, You Can Take It In. The track just kills – way more complex musically than I could compute and recording wise it is perfect. That synth that comes in around the one minute mark just totally blows me away.

dang. epic legendary status. via analog giant:
in regards to lofi/post-punk i am no hobo radio but i do get my rocks off on the barren/introverted vibe that both genres seep. it is hard to find bands who are into that sort of thing down here in sunny LA and for good reason – the beach is right around the corner and it is way too nice outside for us to be acting like we live in blade runner’s los angeles. tall hands came from new york originally so i guess that means they are a bit more cold blooded. anyway this track, monolith, is the jam and still manages to pull off a fun vibe:

foreign born kinda sounds to me like bob dylan and the band if they were less about hanging in a weird cabin in the heartland and more about having fish tacos and chillin on the ivory coast. i don’t know if that makes sense at all..
anyway, i really wanted to post can’t keep time but i ended up going for these two tracks as they are more indicative of the album’s overall sound – get on this for a good summer!
