Dovecote

Evan Voytas – Feel Me

I honestly don’t know how Evan Voytas has stayed so under the radar.  I mean, he did a music video last year featuring Kate Moss.  The man is a machine – part fashion icon, part music genre blending magician, full artist.  Maybe LA and the music world aren’t ready for such a non-conforming master of trades who is true to himself.

Today Evan releases Feel Me, his first release on Dovecote Records.  You can stream the release through soundcloud to partake in the magic.  These five swooning electro pop tracks are the perfect songs for carefree fun.  My favorite track through the first couple listens has to be “You Don’t Even Know Where It’s At” which resembles quite possibly what may have happened if Fleetwood Mac and Prince got together.

I feel that there would be more good music out there if artists didn’t let their projected “image” get in the way of their true artistic endeavors.  Evan wants you to let down your ‘cool front’ and embrace the fun loving, dorky person you are.  This is a calling for less contrived image and more unadultared free spiritnes. Feel me?

Purchase Feel Me in Vinyl here or Digital format here for a mere $5.

Wise Blood

Wise Blood is the project of Chris Laufman, originally from Pittsburgh and now living in New York.  His music is broken electro-gospel pop full of samples and layers that you’ll need headphones to fully appreciate.  Although somewhat obscure upon first listen, the songs have great composition that make it possible to dance to every song or just sit in a chair outside alone and rock your head.  The songs are fairly short, but the mysterious story they create ventures far past two minutes.  The video for “B.I.G. E.G.O.”  is a great intro to Wise Blood and the nod of David Parker to direct it is a show of his talent.
