What We’re Listening To: 9/20/2024 (Patti Smith, Gesaffelstein, & Open Mike Eagle)

Duane- Patti Smith – Easter

“Released in 1978, Easter is the Patti Smith Group’s 3rd album. Rightly revered as one of the seminal sparks for the nascent NYC Punk scene of the mid & late Seventies, Patti Smith can also be regarded as one of the last spectacular flare-up’s of the Sixties. Obsessed with the lore and mythology of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Smith channels The Doors, Dylan and Jefferson Airplane with a lot of Lower East Side grit. Easter is a set of masterful Rock Anthems for those who don’t want to light a candle but want to start a fire.”

Jonny- Gesaffelstein – Gamma
“This truly timeless album from one of the most mysterious stars in the music industry defies expectations in the best way possible. He uses zero features from the heavyweights he’s worked with before and strays away from the synth heavy techno instrumentals he’s usually known for. Instead he dives into new wave with multiple features from Yan Wager that sound as if they were pulled from a long lost Depeche Mode album. Don’t be fooled though, this album is very much as Gesaffelstein as it gets and his deep, eerie, and complex analog sound design are as present as ever. Truly a masterpiece that only enhances his already stacked catalog!.”

Nick- Open Mike Eagle – Brick Body Kids Still Daydream

“Imaginative and fractalizing hip hop. Super mellow blunt cruise bumper.
