Have an open mind and step into her Electric Chapel.įind it Here: Lady Gaga – Born This Way 4) Ishq Īhhhh, finally! The follow-up to the most mesmerizing ambient downtempo album ever, Orchid, put out by UK artist Ishq. Her music is laden with so many deeply infectious grooves, it’s a pity you’re not loving on Gaga. Even if you don’t get pop music, or have some sort of judgment against Gaga due to your superficial understanding of her, there is no arguing that she is the planet’s current reigning princess of pop.

I’ve been an ecstatically obsessed fan of Bluetech since 2005, and every album he’s put out has been pretty much amazing. Check out this interview with Joshua Penman! I urge you to take a listen to this amazing work of art! My favorite live music performance this year was seeing Akara perform at Beloved festival it was pure magic. As an artistic statement, the album is completely cohesive and creates a cinematic sonic realm that is at once both totally unique & yet soulfully familiar. Please support independent artists & buy these albums! 1) Akara Īkara’s debut album is my favorite of 2011 its cinematic, orchestral, transcendental downtempo electronica breaks genres and creates its own world – unlike anything I’ve heard before.
