"Grady Philip Drugg is a musician from Canyon Lake, Texas. In February 2014, he relocated to Springfield, Missouri and toured the country in several DIY bands. In April 2016, he made his way back home after recording his debut self-titled full length album. He now lives in Austin, Texas."-his bandcamp

I've looked up to Grady, musically, for a hot minute now and I absolutely love this new release he put out. He goes in and out of different sounds so effortlessly and still manages to keep it flowing. Much like his self-titled release (linked below because I think we missed it, maybe? I'm not sure, but I am sure that it will be linked below :-))

Fun Fact: Leaving Lake Wobegone was originally on a 4-track ep that Grady put out under the name Toska, and it's great to see that it's back and sounding more lovely than ever. I love the instrumentation on all the songs, the tones and just what Grady's doing is just pleasing. I don't really know what else to say other than I don't know why you're not listening to this. 

Favorite Track: Our New Home

here's the setlist
1)Nothing About You
2)Grin
3)Parts Unknown
4)Dusty Keys

here's an entertaining music video for Parts Unknown (hit that link)

Loop Line is from Minneapolis, Minnesota, or half of them anyways. They've got this chill surf-y vibe mashed in with some 60's-ish melodies and the circus. For max effect you should probably be listening to this on the beach smoking some fruity flavor of cigarillos or weed or whatever you like, I guess. Anyways, they've got that Vampire Weekend-smash-beatles-smash-Temple-smash-Motion City Soundtrack stint going on and if that's up your alley way you should get with it and smash that 'like' button.

My favorite track is Grin, nothing quites get me grooving more than some sour notes with some chillin' vocal and a steady bass groove. The rest of the tracks are ill with infectious vocal harmonies and guitar diddlies so make sure to look out for these dudes with any future releases.

Imagine looking in the void and seeing whirling colors for once because of this stuff, wow.

now for the linkz

This week on All Things Considered we've got a bunch of famous guests. 

And by that I mean the band that has the same name as the npr program covered a bunch of songs.

If you're a fan of any of these bands that are covered, this is the release for you. I for one, am not the biggest fan of covers, but All Things Considered does a really good job at what they do. They choose older songs (as far as I know), and if you had to put a catagory into the music, it's pop-punk fashioned. So if you've ever wanted to hear pop punk versions of these songs, check this out. Recording is done very well, and these already famous melodies and lyrics get stuck into your head. I know after I listened to this, I had "Homeward Bound" stuck in my head for what seemed like forever. So anyway check this out if you like any of these bands. And if you don't, hey, it's another band you can add to your collection of music you can listen to sometimes.
