Pino Palladino & Blake Mills – “Just Wrong” “Orion From The Street” is big and joyous, but homespun, the kind of music that’s daydreamed into existence. They self-record in their Sunderland, England-based home studio, which allows for happy accidents and an off-kilter point of view. But what sets Field Music apart from so many similarly-inspired bands is their attention to detail, and a restless creativity.
In their recent ‘My KUTX’ takeover, the Brewis brothers showed off a love for all things ’80s pop, which you can hear as a throughline across their varied work. Here are some of our favorite songs from the first half of the year.
But we shouldn’t overlook the great music that has already been made, even it was released more or less in a vacuum. The back half of 2021 is likely to look a lot different – lots more releases, shows, concerts, actual live music on KUTX – and we’re all really excited about that. Slowly, the tour machine is grinding up, and all the artists who have released great pandemic recordings are getting ready to strut their stuff on the concert stage. But despite the style's obvious limitations, Doug Lazy Gettin' Crazy can certainly be fun on the dance floor.We’re a bit more than halfway through 2021, all laser-focused on a normalcy finish line. Hip-house on the whole tends to be predictable, and Lazy is no exception. Hip-hop's hardcore tended to dismiss club-oriented artists like Lazy, but this CD proves that he definitely had solid rapping skills. Consequently, Lazy was more likely to appeal to Inner City and Black Box fans than followers of Public Enemy or Boogie Down Productions. While hardcore rappers were favoring slow, hard tracks, hypnotic jams like "Ahh Get It," "Can't Get Enough" and "Funky Beat" are taken at a fast and very danceable tempo. Doug Lazy Gettin' Crazy isn't earth-shattering, but it's a decent party album that has its share of catchy and infectious grooves.
Not someone who was terribly well known, Lazy was mainly interested in hip-house, a style in which MCs rap over house-music tracks. When hardcore rappers were making records for the streets in the early 1990s, Doug Lazy aimed at the dance floor.
