Today's Quick Mention:According
to Alexa's almighty interweb service, SOTO is most
frequented by "females who are in the age range of
18-24, have no children, are college educated and
browse the site from work." I wasn't aware we
were such a draw for the ladies. Where you at,
fellas?
You never know what you're going to get when an
artist takes a "new" approach to making music, but
it appears to have worked out well (see the snazzy
tune below) for Club 8, who for their sixth LP used
a producer for the first time and based many of
their songs on rhythms from albums made in West
Africa during the 70s. The People's Record
is due May 18 on Labrador. Enjoy.

8 - Western Hospitality:
This duo has arguably been the best at crafting beautiful
and dreamy Swedish pop gems over the last few years, so it's
a little weird to hear them doing something so different.
Still, this is a great track, and it certainly has me
convinced that Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergard can
pull off whatever sound they choose. Have fun dancing
to this for the rest of the day (or week).
