What can I say about these guys... Well, obviously I love them. They are quite awesome... Otherwise, why would I write about the.

The Peach Kings are a duo from Los Angeles that originally formed in San Francisco. The band consists of the Beautiful Paige McClain Wood, who's voice is both haunting and sexy and seduces you. Then you've got Steven Trezevant Dies, who's bluesy guitar riffs make you move appropriately inappropriate... It's a thing... I did it on the subway. People stared. I don't regret it.

When these two come together, they bring a sort of sensual magic. Their music is full of passion, and hits you like waves that strum your heart chords and make your legs jive to the sounds. I don't use jive lightly either. I'd recommend you refraining from listening to this in public if you embarrass easily, cause I assure you, you will jive.

Here's the first song I came across from them. I hope you fall in love with them instantly like I did. 

 

Young Fathers - Tap of the Week!

What can I say about these guys... Well, They're awesome. Straight up. I'm huge fan of great hiphop that isn't afraid to experiment with sound and blending of genres.​

​The Scotland trio right out of Edinburgh has been making music for quite a few years now and is recently experiencing some well deserved attention. These guys have a unique blend of music on their album titled "Tape One," which I can listen to from start to finish. Whether you're listening to the record at home on some headphones or you're out on a friday night doing some house party hopping, the album will take you through a wave of various emotions.

The music is full of eclectic samples, tribal type drums and layers of vocals on top of more vocals. The music production on the album is kind of lo-fi but with some great hard hitting emotions that put you in a trance. 

​The first song that got me into this great trio was "Sister" which reminded me very much of TV on the Radio... That is a bold statement on my part as I love TV on the Radio. I will attach the music video for "Sister" below so all of you can enjoy the same music that brought me to really love these guys. 

​Look forward to their upcoming album "Tape Two."

Welcome to the Tap of the Week!

​What is the "Tap of the Week," you ask?

Well, each week I will talk about a new artist that I've come across that many of you might not know about... Or, in other words, untapped talent that I tapped into.​

​There will be links to the artists or bands home page, facebook page, youtube page and whatever other pages they may have and also where you can purchase their music. Everyone featured in this blog will typically be indie/unsigned artists. They will also vary in genres. I have an eclectic taste and will talk about music from folk, pop, rock, punk, indie, hip hop, elctro to whatever else you can think of. 

If you are an artist or know an artist that falls within this criteria, please tweet me a link at @xitmuse. I'm happy to share great music to the rest of the world.

​Look forward to this every tuesdays!
