 Good morning and good night for some. Here are two fast and emotional songs for the ups and downs of daily life. Routines can be adventures.

SUBURBAN LAWNS - GREEN EYES from Self-Titled album


"Green eyes have not yet been known to meFor I have not your eyesMy waking has not yet been grown at all
Oh, this endless dayPigment gray on the second floorMy friend died last night, or triedLights are not bad for such a small place
He's posing like he's quite big-headedI know you're a heartful mindThe shades are the Venetian kindThey are drawn down blindFor only lines are shadowed in anglesOn my wall in the daytime
My tales have not yet been seen by themThey are only paperScreaming ladies, converted shirtsI wish and wishes that never came through
Green eyes have not yet been known to meFor I have not your eyesMy waking has not yet been grown at all
Oh, this endless dayPigment gray on the second floorMy friend died last night, or triedLights are not bad for such a small place
He's posing like he's quite big-headedI know you're a heartful mindThe shades are the Venetian kindThey are drawn down blindFor only lines are shadowed in anglesOn my wall in the daytime
My tales have not yet been seen by themThey are only paperScreaming ladies, converted shirtsI wish and wishes that never came through
Green eyes have not yet been known to meFor I have not your eyesMy waking has not yet been grown at all"

*Khruangbin - LateNightTales*

  A brilliant and accessible double LP that showcases Khruangbin favourite tracks and influences providing an actual sonic globetrotting experience. The journey starts with "Illuminations" featuring Alice Coltrane and Santana, a spiritual intro for an incredible journey. The second track "I know that (when the spring times comes)" by Brilliantes del Vuelo is a mellow dubby reggae inspired track that gives a way to the more energetic "Khushi" by Nazia Hassan, a bittersweet quasi disco sounding track. "DRM" by Kelly Doyle is a rather short but breezy instrumental song that keeps the spirit of the sonic traveller alive. Side B starts up with "Don't go" by the south korean rock pioneers Sanullim, a very 80's new wave delight type of song. "I like it (don't stop)" by Maxwell Udoh is a rather amusing disco type song with romantic lyrics, very danceable stuff. "Enseñame" featuring David Marez is a lounge type so...

*Tiago Guillul - V*

  Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

*Jonzun Crew - Lost in Space*

  Spectacular funky hip-hop from the 80's. The group was led by Michael Jonzun and his brothers Maurice Starr, Sonny and Carl. The group was highly influenced by Afrika Bambaatta, they wore wigs like Mozart and dominated the electroboogie sound like bands such as Parliament.  All the tracks are great and unique. Wonderful band that has yet to find its real listeners. The green solid reissue is gorgeous.  Interesting for fans of Daft Punk.
