Adventure Tape

Listen: Tape No.11 – NYC with Ryan Caesar from Pearls

Pearls have just returned from a jaunt to the USA. New york for CMJ to be specific. Myself and James spent a few extra weeks there, embarrassing ourselves with over enthusiasm as green Australian boys are wont to do. The songs I’ve chosen are my NYC playlist. stuff i was listening to while i was there and was finding exciting. There’s a few overly keen ones, It is a bit naff to walk about new york wide eyed and listening to talking heads but i did it. I included A Television tune because i actually saw them play in a large car park on my second night. i almost cried. I’m not sure the guys in the band (television) were feeling the vibe but i certainly was. Hotline Bling is on the list because it was inescapable while i was over there and i grew to deeply appreciate the tune. James and i heard Bowie lives on Lafayette st so we crept about and this particular tune is killing me at the moment. not too sold on the rest of the album though. Kendrick Lamar is the most exciting thing I’ve heard in years. Freddie Gibbs is deep. Everything else is just good tunes.
