Well that was interesting. Testing out some new equipment last night… was thinking that while I work, I’d like to test it out with some Four Tet. The computer I was on had no Four Tet so off to the iTunes store to grab a song. While I was there I noticed that he released a brand new record that night! How serendipitous. Usually you read stories and reviews and tweets. I must have missed the articles, or be following the wrong folks, or I’m the only one that cares.
Four Tet has his own record label and his new record, Pink, collects a bunch of vinyl only releases from his label over the past year.
Four Tet – “128 Harps”
Really pleasant and easy sounds to listen to while working.

Youngblood Hawke is a band from Los Angeles, California.
The group has an interesting story. The name is based on a a character from an old novel which I have never read. The principle members were in a band that seemed like that were reaching success. The group was called Iglu & Harley and in 2010 they had the chance to play Coachella. But something happened and the band dissolved. I believe they quote, “dissolved due to a creative clash.”
BUT, Simon Katz and singer Sam Martin stayed with it and formed a new band… and here we are.
I got a text from Simon at the Veneto today saying the self-titled EP is fantastic. The single we’re featuring on the Zone is called “We Come Running.”
Youngblood Hawke – “We Come Running”
Punchy energy. Catchy. Good times.
Go with yourself.
