New Music... MillionYoung - Lovin



MillionYoung is Mike Diaz's solo musical act. His sound reminds me of something like a cross between Pet Shop Boys, Toro Y Moi, and Washed Out. Diaz's dreamy vocals layer perfectly with his chill beats. His newest album, Variable (2013), is an amazing display of how distinct his musings have become--despite the name! I love the dramatic guitars in "Grow" off of Variable and "Swish" is definitely my favorites off of the album. Unfortunately, I was only able to find an official video for "Lovin", but a link to an unofficial "Swish" will be down below. Thank you to MillionYoung himself for clarifying that the video below for "Swish" is indeed official!


MillionYoung - Lovin (2013) Don't mind the smooth jazz opening...


He has been around since his self-released EP titled Sunndreamm in 2009, and has released either an EP or a studio album at a rate of 1 per year since. I like the consistency of his releases not only in the way of regularity of release, but also in the quality of content. Can ya dig? 

As promised:
   
MillionYoung - Swish (2013)

Want a million more? Well, he doesn't have a million songs, but why not help give him a million listeners on his last.fm? http://www.last.fm/music/MillionYoung




Upcoming.... Tycho - Awake - One of the best of the year!


Beautiful sounds, as always, coming from Tycho. We had the opportunity to catch this artist live and it was life affirming to say the least. Tycho can take sounds then twist them and turn them until they become these beautifully chill pieces of art. Great music to play at anytime in any situation. Tycho is the right medicine for any cold. This maybe one of the most anticipated releases of next year if not the chillest.
