THE GOLDEN FILTER At this instance I liken the golden filter to glasser in my own little music vacuum. Each is an electronic act centered around delicate, yet commanding females of a haunting nature (in this case, Penelope Trappes). And upon seeing each live I found myself surprisingly entranced. <---wrote this in car on way home from miami. & yeah, still holds true for the most part. The Golden Filter, live, has a darker quality I suppose I didn't expect, but felt nonetheless. Obvious highlights were Solid Gold & Hide Me. The room busted a move hard to those songs. The band should ® or ™ their beats. Seriously. They're so distinctive. Yeah, I'm glad I checked them out. And I'll continue to jump on their sick remixes. Listened to their spin on Yeasayer's Madder Red on the way down, download it here at Ear Blessings. Hope your Monday wasn't too toxic.

(local? you should go. i am.)

The Golden Filter is playing Grand Central, Miami on Saturday August 21st. This is going to be one hell of a dance party. Golden Filter's original sound + their various remixes = gorgeously infectious beat-driven romps a room should blow up to live. Can't wait. You should come.

THE SKINNY ON

CARGO/MOTO

Looks like everyone's carrying some version of a skinny-fit cargo. In the expected cotton twill, but also in denim with edgy zips, stitching & cargo pockets (note: the jean version is being associated with moto/biker vibes). I freaking love this look. It's high time cargos got their turn at being sexy. Peep J Brand's version here. Check out Bebe's spin here. And Express's skinny cargo here & in moto denim here. Boston Proper's sexy cargo pant here. Armani Exchange's take on the skinny moto jean here. Check out Sanctuary's skinny leg cargo here. Seven For All Man Kind has a skinny cargo too, see. As does Rich & Skinny, here. So do James Jeans, look. I swear by this style/cut. With the right heel, your legs look 3 miles long. And I'm not tall, loveys. You'll wear these killer pants straight through fall.

mad happy to see thieves like us & a golden filer remix on this week's #musicmonday offering from  @urbanoutfitters.





*****Kisses' Bermuda is LOVELY. right in step with the effervescent blissful sounds happening all around us right now, with rich touching vocals.  have listened to more times than i'd like to admit already today. #love*****  


Thieves Like Us' Forget Me Not is gorgeous, thought-provoking melancholy electro. I truly can't get enough Thieves Like Us. #soright


ArpLine's Fold Up Like a Piece of Paper is OK. Psychedelic guitar heavy layers.

Whiplash's Sunglasses. Do I have this already? Sounds MAD familiar, in a good way. It captures your ears, it would work good on the Charlie & the Chocolate Factory Soundtrack, or Alice in Wonderland. Dreamy eclectic like that. 

O. Children's Dead Disco Dancer (The Golden Filter Remix) is fair enough.  I did have a certain level of expectations, based upon nearly every other Golden Filter remix I've ever encountered, that have not been met instantly. It does build nicely, it won't get deleted.


On the whole, a sound #musicmonday offering from Urban. Get it.
love,

(p.s. that's moi, in a fitting room at anthropologie, i think i could live in an anthropologie store, if only they sold food. i meander about that place like it's a merry go round. round & round. i bought that little silk chartreuse blooms dress faster than you can say summer floral addiction.)
