Bibio - Saint Christopher

Bibio caught my attention about a year and a half ago when I first heard his infectious lo-fi funk song "Jealous of Roses" (right click and "save as" for free download.) Since then, I've been exploring this soloists pretty extensive catalogue which only dates back to 2005, and blends a mysterious mixture of folk and electronica. On March 29, he released his latest album "Mind Bokeh," which this song is taken from. Not only is it the closing track to the record, but in my opinion, the best one.

Dr. Dog - Say Something

Here's a little video mash-up set to "Say Something" by Dr. Dog. This is not an official music video, rather a fan-made piece of work. And though it's non-linear, it's somehow visually cohesive.

One thing I really like about Dr. Dog's early releases is their well composed vocal harmonies paired with the gritty lo-fi recording quality that makes you stop and wonder what decade they were active. This treat was released on their second album "Easy Beat" from 2005.

And here's a free download from their official website (right-click to save.)

Gonjasufi - Sheep

Gonjasufi - Sheep by Boltsie

A little bit of research on Gonjasufi uncovered quite an array of labels he could be identified by - Musician above all, followed by rapper, singer, DJ, and even yoga teacher of half Mexican, half Ethiopian descent. Therefore, it's no wonder that his early 2010 LP debut, A Sufi and a Killer is as sonically diverse as it is, as he is apparently a man of many specifications.

I've wanted to feature him for a while, but it was tough shit deciding which track to post, as all of the music I've heard by him thus far has been equally mind-expanding. Take a look for yourself!
