MUSIC TAKES ME HIGHER
I’d like to share with you what could very well be one of the sweetest love letters around. Now you have to understand that most things, when seen through the eyes of Dylan Dawkins, aka Persona La Ave, will come out the other end more warped, more other worldly, evidently more sexy and funk-centric than they had once been. Below, please feel free to open this seeming love letter to music - because after all, it does take us higher.

Albatross - Murder
It’s been a long time coming, but Life Aquatic Records has just announced it’s second release. It’s hard to believe the last was over a year ago. In true LA Records fashion, this release is from Oz’s own Albatross. Albatross is a slow burning producer duo, never too hasty to release their sound. Which makes this double a-side 7” release all the more tasty.
Here is a-side Murder, which drifts high, lofting as a spectacle, touching down only to whisper “they’ll call it murder”. Listen to the other a-side Caspers Theme on bandcamp, as well as two great remixes by Guerre and Dro Carey. There you can also download the tracks for free. Read more from Jarred himself at Life Aquatic, then go ahead steak claim on one of the 250 limited 7” records right here.
**also, please peruse there soundcloud, there are some gems, especially Stockholm Syndrom which they just put up last night…whoa

Hypno Safari - Shade
you told me you believed in me, no i just need some of that hope, you have so much
Boise seems to have a knack for producing honest musicians. Logan Hyde just sent me over his project Hypno Safari. And it’s just that, honest. Logan works with what he has, and does a lot with a little. He keeps things simple. And I think that’s why when this track picks up, it’s nearly overwhelming.
You might also know Logan from the stage he shares with Trevor Powers, as the guitarist for Youth Lagoon. He’s continuing to work on Hypno Safari in between shows, while on their huge tour. So be on the lookout for an EP in the future. And in the meantime grab the track and follow him up: facebook/twitter

Galapagoose - One Who Can’t Move
It’s fittingly so that Australian producer Galapagoose, aka Trent Gill, is putting out his debut LP out on Magical Properties Records, because the minute I saw him do what he does, there’s no other word than magician, that comes to mind. One Who Can’t Move is our first listen to the album (via xlr8r), and it’s beautiful. That anchoring sample from Send In The Clowns, those drifting air-like synths, and that deep almost on-the-other-side-of-the-wall beat holding it all together like glue.
Very excited for this release. It’s out March 13 on Deadelus imprint Magical Properties. Peep the tracklist and more at xlr8r.
