Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Day two. I got really excited for a moment there. I thought it was recommending an album by Moon Safari that I had never heard. But no, this is an album named Moon Safari, by Air. Okay. I've heard of this, but its a new listen for me. Its a very relaxing electronic album. Very chill vibes. Every song has had a cool bass groove. I can dig the dreamy vibe here, and it sounds great through the headphones, blocking out the silliness going on around me. But, its just kind of generic in the end. I've heard many similar albums that were just better. In the end, it just got me more excited for the new album by Moon Safari that is coming out this week. Himlabacken Vol. 2. Swedish prog rock with incredible vocal harmonies.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

This album is a glimpse into what was to come. Back To Black is obviously a great album. Great songs, great use of the killer grooves from The Dap Kings. Frank, though an entertaining listen, is more scattered sounding. I always dug this album for having more of of Amy's guitar playing on it. It has a cool mix of jazz and neo-soul. Haven't actually listened to this one in years. Holds up well, and such a shame.

The Cars

5/5

Welcome back to An Album A Day Keeps the Madness away, day three. Today, I was given one of my favorite albums, The Cars self titled debut from 1978. In this day and age were you are more likely to stream just the hits, it was great to sit back and enjoy this one in its entirety. The same way I did as a kid. The Cars were such a great blend of New Wave, Power Pop, and rock. Two great singers in Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr. (RIP) Elliott Easton is such an underrated guitarist. After the advent of CDs, albums became pretty bloated and over stuffed. Since a CD held 78 minutes, many bands felt you had to fill them. This album? 35 minutes. No filler. Just a fun listen.
