Starting a new series called "Music of the Month". I'll comment on my favorite album of the month as well as list some songs that caught my attention the past 30 days. I plan on doing this at the end of each month in order to recap on new releases...




Album of the Month: The XX - I See You (Young Turks)
Fell in love with this album as soon as it released earlier this month. This record contains super smooth beats that are laid back but still have an energetic and danceable vibe. Romy and Oliver's vocals flourish throughout fluttering guitars, gorgeous ambient sounds and unique samples on their best release yet. Listen below...

Listen: The XX - On Hold
