trip-hop – Tonight at Dawn

Artist Spotlight: Arms And Sleepers

Interview conducted by @KralTunes Max Lewis and Mirza Ramic make up ARMS AND SLEEPERS, the electronic dynamic duo of chill, hip-hop, ambient, post rock, and atmospheric jams (and whatever other categories you think you can lump them into). Since their inception in 2006 (including a near 2 year hiatus), the group has amassed a discography ofContinue reading “Artist Spotlight: Arms And Sleepers”

Iman Omari, For A Limited Time

@KralTunes “Part hip hop, part bluesy trip hop instrumental, and perfectly produced 8 tracks”. If my boss @tonightatdawn let me get away with writing one line reviews for albums, that would be all I need to say about HIGHER-LOOPS, the latest release from Iman Omari.

Opener “Unflesh”Continue reading “Gazelle Twin Provides the Chills with “Unflesh””

For A Good Time, Cue Up FKA TWIGS

But I’ve been hearing good things about her album (L.P. 1), so I have some interest in revisiting old territory. TheContinue reading “For A Good Time, Cue Up FKA TWIGS”
