Song of the Day: Manitoba - Crayon (Indie/Chill Out/Ambient)

11/8/2013

Happy Friday! This is a favorite from Dan Snaith's early career as Manitoba. It's from the 2003 album, "Up In Flames." A year later, Snaith had to change the band name to Caribou, with which you are probably more familiar. ;)
  Anyway, the track has a beautiful dreamy quality that I just love. Check it out!


Born and raised in Dundas, Ontario, Snaith has a knack for producing cerebral tunes that harbor a child-like inquisitiveness. At times, his music is very similar to that of Japanese band, Lullatone.

He hasn't released a new album as Caribou since "Swim" (2010). However, under the pseudonym, Daphni, Snaith put out the "Jialong" album in 2012. It's a collection of rather experimental tunes, very different from the songs produced as Manitoba and Caribou. You can listen to Track 6 below!


It's pretty crazy, but in a good way, right? The entire album is really out there. I highly recommend listening to the rest! Be sure to check out Caribou on Facebook
! Happy Friday! ^_^

This is a pretty awesome cover of Slow Dive's "Crazy For You," by Ulrich Schnauss of Germany. It appears on the two-disc compilation, "Blue Skied An' Clear"  from 2002.


Schnauss has been producing music for more than a decade, having released his first album, "Far Away Trains Passing By" in 2001. Since then, he went on to produce five albums and a slew of EPs. His latest releases are the album "A Long Way To Fall" (2013) and the remix EP, "I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance" (2013). Here's Track 5 from the A Long Way To Fall album.

Song of the Day: Yoshinori Sunahara - Bright Beat (Chill Out)

This is one of my favorite tracks from the brilliant, Yoshinori Sunahara.
It appears on the 2001 album, "Lovebeat." Sit back, relax and enjoy these beautifully crafted downtempo beats! ^_^


Born and bred in Sapporo, Sunahara is a fixture in the Shibua-kei and chillout scene. His music has a palpable retro flare which I adore. Sunahara's style oscillates between bossa nova and 70's funk.

He's been churning out music since the late 90's and has so far produced seven albums. His latest release is "Liminal" (2011). That album has more of a tech-house feel to it.
It's certainly darker and grittier than his past work. You can listen to Track 4 from Liminal below!


I hope you enjoy these tracks and hang in there! The weekend is almost here! :D Happy Wednesday!
