"Kishi Kaisei" by Edamame
Curated by: Cam Bennett
Spotify: spoti.fi/2T2qD8x
Genre: #ambient
No surprise at all that when I started to do a little research on Edamame, born name Ed Harris, his catch line for his ethereal world music meets hip-hop meets natural sounds was “songs to help you float”. Bravo sir, mission accomplished.
When this song started up I felt immediately at ease. I was drawn in by the relaxing downtempo, the melodic tic-tocs of the wood instruments, the hip hop elements of scratch sounds that play with the overall theme, the light human chatter in the background, and the deep bass that tuned my inner human vibrations. It felt like drifting down a tree shaded river surrounded by temples on each bank full of other-worldly monks chanting in unison who may just have the answers to the universe.
While originally from Chicago, Ed calls Denver home, and it's the place where he synthesizes his unique flavor into the music that has put him on the map. Prior to becoming a producer, Edamame was a nationally touring death metal vocalist. Since landing on this style he's released 12 records, toured the country from coast to coast and internationally, and has been played on radio stations around the world. He's even had United Airlines buy a few songs from him!
I’ve got him on heavy rotation anytime I feel the need to simmer down the city vibes in my soul...or just need to “float”. Float on my brother. Float on.

Old Graffiti by Bibio
Curated by: Mike Floeck
Spotify: http://bit.ly/OldGraffitiBibio
Genre: #indierock
Stephen Wilkinson has figured out a thing or two about timing and tempo: Ribbons is Wilkinson’s tenth album as Bibio, and although his tenure resulted in a bit of diversion and experimentation, his predominant lane resembles folk music and experimental electronica without breaking a sweat about the comparison. Ribbons sits right in this lane: “Old Graffiti” settles down like a fresh spring rain shower of medium density, pattering against the windowsill, drops randomly striking at different angles and intensities. Wilkinson’s voice apparates from seemingly nowhere, echoing short syllables that he coos and barks through the song.
Bibio has credited phonemes as influences for his uniquely bizarre lyrical phrasing and articulation. Phonemes, per Merriam-Webster, are “[members] of the set of the smallest units of speech” that separate and identify one syllable from another. An example is when two words end in different consonants yet sound phonetically similar, e.g. “tad” and “tab”. The phonemes would be the “d” and “b” sounds, distinguishing the two words but just barely. You feel the tension of the “p” hanging on Wilkinson’s lips as he sings “makeup” and the word echoes rapidly behind; you sense the restraint as he transitions from the hard “e” sounds in “graffiti” into a yodel, howling over the plains of his percussion-driven arrangement.
Speaking of percussion, Bibio says “Old Graffiti” began with it whereas most of his compositions begin on guitar. He was “inspired by listening to old Batucada and Capoeira recordings,” both influenced by African percussion and native to Brazil. This broad-reaching influence lends an exotic air to “Old Graffiti”, a lost gem in a modern world. Bibio - Old Graffiti](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L2ZZWXpR8QY/mqdefault.jpg)
