Song To Get You Through The Goddamn Day #132:
Jessie Ware: 110%
Last month, I unceremoniously shoved this song into a backup folder thinking that I would eventually I would get over how much I found myself queuing it up and mouthing the words to myself as I attempted to work. Well, forced separation never seems to bear any worthwhile fruit and now, here were are in May and I’m sharing this luscious and smoldering little number with all of you and fully allowing myself to adore it. I have a feeling that before the end of the year, most of America is going to figure out what the folks in Brixton seem to have known for a good long while about Ms. Ware.
“I know you hear me, but can you reach me?”

Starting today, I’m going to attempt a new weekly feature here on the ole Company Pants headquarters page in the form of Mixlets. These little creatures will feature five songs that can either be streamed right here on the site or downloaded as a single MP3. On most occasions, I will attempt something vaguely thematic, but more often than not, these mini-mixtapes will simply be made up of five songs that I love and can’t seem to cram into any other capacity on here.
Anyhow, please take a listen to or download the inaugural edition.
Company Pants Mixlet #1 (download)
01 Tomas Barfod & Nina Kinert / “November Skies”
02 Ghost Loft / “Seconds”
03 Glam Shell / “We Were Lovers, We Were Friends”
04 Freelove Fenner / “Mint”
05 123MRK / “Untroubled (Andrea Remix)” -

Song To Get You Through The Goddamn Day #131:
Sin Fang: “Strange House”
Fifty two seconds into Sin Fang’s “Strange House”, composer Sindri Már Sigfússon drops his familiar and always lovable Sin Fang/Seabear signature sound and throws us into a cascading, swinging journey into the Icelandic wonder’s vision of pure soul. It’s pretty breathtaking.
“I could have been your bones.”

Slow Magic: “Youths”
(directed by Brendan Canty & Conal Thomson)I hope that everyone had moments in their life when they felt and acted as openly free as the kid at the center of this incredibly colorful video. I still have fond memories of the many times I would journey out to the forested section of my parents’ farm where I would battle the fields of stinging nettles, armed only with a stick and my imagination that they were hordes of procompsognathids from Jurassic Park.

Song To Get You Through The Goddamn Day #130:
Tu Fawning: “Blood Stains”
In a city that’s saturated with as much quality music as Portland is, it’s impressive when a group of musicians can actually find a way to stand out amidst the ever-expanding sea of talent and intrigue. Tu Fawning has spent the last four or five years creating batches of songs that inspire a deep sense of adventure. While each of their compositions can fully exist on their own outside the context of an album, they achieve an even more weighty and fulfilling listening experience when combined with their recorded companions into one giant, ornate storyline. The tracks that make up their newest release, A Monument, have a sense of hugeness to them, but at the same time, never sound cluttered and never shrink back from utilizing the quartet’s staggering ability to produce truly delicate and graceful moments.
“It’s the pieces left in the street. It’s the wreck I can’t leave.”

Coma Cinema: “White Trash VHS (Drunk Version)”
Mat Cothran has already released three full-lengths of bedroom brilliance in the past three years and this drunken demo version of the possible lead track from his upcoming fourth record, School Shootings, just goes to show that we’ve got something absolutely lovely to look forward to later this year.
“Closer than before; on the edge of being the same fuck up as as before.”
[School Shootings drops sometime in 2012 on Fork & Spoon]
