There's something undeniable about singer-songwriter James Tillman's falsetto; it's the soulful hinge that swings his incredible Silk Noise Reflex album. Plaintive vocals that are unhurried but deceptively so because there's always a knowing backbone present. The D.C. native's full-length debut was executive-produced by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs after James served as an opening act on one of the group's tours. This episode features both "Rat Race" and "Human Behavior" from Silk Noise Reflex.

Some of us were born with a love for pop music that runs a mile deep and candy-sweet. Some of us run from it, deny it. Keeping in mind that the definition of pop has a wide enough chasm to fit both the Beatles and Beyoncé. But for the ones who can't hide our devotion, whether as a fan or in the case of singer Eric Nizgretsky, the sound of hooks on hooks on hooks is unabashedly embraced. Eric is the frontman for the four-piece band Loose Buttons. With its origins at Miami University, where Eric attended, Loose Buttons are currently based in New York and gearing up for the release of their latest EP, Sundays with Loose Buttons (2/24/17). Sundays proves that loving intelligent pop is all pleasure and no guilt. The remaining members of Loose Buttons are Adam Holtzberg, Zack Kantor and Manny Silverstein. This episode features "Milk and Roses" and "Am I the Only Reason?" from Sundays.

To call Brooklyn-based MICK a DJ isn't wrong; it's simply an incomplete description. Accurate, but ultimately a term that's slight. Nonetheless, his accomplishments as a DJ loom large and his selection of sounds cover the waterfront with hip-hop often at the foundation while still leaving space for house, rock and jazz. With tasteful precision, MICK has shaped the tenor of rooms at private events and parties for the likes of Beyoncé, LeBron James, Hillary Clinton and companies including Yahoo, MasterCard and Nike. The full list is both long and endlessly impressive. While your introduction to MICK was probably through his spinning, he's also a digital entrepreneur with his fingerprints on innovative tech projects like Dot Dot Dash and Localeur. Additionally, MICK finds the time to include gigs as a celebrated brand consultant, music curator and style influencer...and a fairly new dad. Cheers to being intentional with your time!

The final Talk Music Talk episode of the year is a departure from the usual long form interview. The 111th show is a three-hour, hand-chosen compendium (by yours truly) of music from some of the podcast's 2016 guests, hitting on just about every genre. From saxophonist Donny McCaslin (bandleader of David Bowie's "last band" on Blackstar) to LCD Soundsystem's synth player Gavin Russom to emerging artists like indie-psych act Corbu and electronica favorite Sepalcure. I'm calling this episode "Radio TMT" and I'll guide you through all the eclectic sounds you'll discover or perhaps enjoy again. You'll find below the complete playlist plus artist links for further exploration or just to send a shout-out to say you love what they're doing. Please support the musical talents of these amazing artists in any way possible.

There's a metamorphosis procedure to being an outlier. The various traits, tics or dispositions that set you apart from them, are one day celebrated and cherished. Take Brandon Stosuy for example, he was raised in a southern New Jersey town prior to being led by music to leave a population of 800. After leaving his working class family there were eventual stints in Canada, Portland and Buffalo before honing in on Brooklyn. Along the way there was a collegiate education, nowhere jobs and drifting accompanied by desire and endurance. Brandon's perseverance eventually resulted in writing/editing at Pitchfork and Stereogum, publishing a few books including one for kids (Music Is..., 2016) and presently curating music events at MOMA PS1 and the Broad Museum. He's currently the Editor in Chief of Kickstarter's The Creative Independent, a site consisting primarily of daily interviews with creatives from various disciplines discussing both the personal and their process.

An album can be identified as a collection of singles surrounded by filler or ideally, a united suite with a statement or purpose. About Town, the third full-length release from Nicholas Nicholas occupies the latter role. The repetitive moniker is the solo project of Brooklyn-based singer/ songwriter Chris Masullo. Bristling amongst the dark-night-of-the-soul vocals and forlorn music of the brilliant About Town belie words that celebrate love and its accompanying emotions. Shades of a red herring? Perhaps, but it forces the listener to not place total faith in their first impressions. It's not necessary to feel tricked or deceived because complex music doesn't ever reveal all that it knows within a first sitting. Or even multiple ones. If considered as a short story collection, About Town is a less a series of songs than an assemblage of lives circling and thriving on the themes of ardor. It appears we've stumbled into Nicholas Nicholas Country.

For Gavin Russom, the route to playing synths in LCD Soundsystem (and building instruments for the James Murphy-led group) was lined with dreams and false alarms. From the wrong friends to a wrong college decision to a fair share of the wrong dead end jobs. In addition to his LCD role, Gavin DJ's and also heads up several projects including Black Meteoric Star. The Xecond Xoming of Black Meteroric Star is the TBA double-album. An hour of raw, unencumbered Detroit-techno in the shape of a Rhode Island kid who grew up to traverse the world from stages to club booths, delivering on his childhood fascination with sounds. The episode includes a 2016 live performance of "Shelled Landscape" from a Devil's Night DJ set at "Thriller" in Dresden, Germany; a studio version will appear on The Xecond Xoming of Black Meteroric Star. [This is a companion podcast to episode #107 with Ryan Leas, author of the book LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver, an exploration of the group's second album: (http://bit.ly/TMTryanleas).]

Music journalist Ryan Leas is the author of LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver, the 116th volume in 33 1/3's series devoted to one album. Suffice it to say he's a learned listener with his byline appearing on numerous sites including Pitchfork, Stereogum and GQ. Ryan's writing can distinctly evoke a moment, a feeling or the nuances between the notes all within the constraints of a single declarative sentence. As detailed in the book, Ryan was in high school when the second album from the James Murphy-helmed project was revealed to him by that one teacher we all needed. Arriving in the midst of LCD's 2016 reunion, Ryan's debut effortlessly combines both memoir and music scholarship under one 5x7 cover. [This is a companion podcast to episode #108 with LCD Soundsystem's Gavin Russom, who plays synths and builds instruments for the group: (http://bit.ly/TMTryanleas).]

In the words of music editor/writer J. Edward Keyes, there is a remedy for nostalgia, specifically when you're discussing new music. The best recordings didn't cease when you left your teens. Amazing songs are in full abundance, but now you have to do a bit of online legwork to unearth them. Joe's background has been a statement of his receptivity with over two decades of writing about an array of styles from hip-hop to black metal to Christian rock. The latter? A signpost harkening back to Joe's nascent journalism career writing for Christian music magazines prior to contributing to secular publications like SPIN, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. He also left behind an early calling to be a youth pastor. Joe's currently the editorial director at Bandcamp, a music platform for independent musicians to sell their music and merchandise. He oversees the Bandcamp Daily website that is an eclectic source of interviews, genre round-ups and in-depth articles. Joe also has a personal blog, An Atheist's Guide to Christian Rock, that explores and reevaluates some of his most beloved music of the genre.

What is that particular thrill of discovering a limited-edition cassette that came out late last year and slipped under your radar? It feels as if the artist created the music solely for you. The album in question is In Between and that artist is Big Eater. Big Eater is the solo project of singer/songwriter Matt Bachmann and the debut full-length release is one of the best albums you missed last year. Or this year. A hazy hodgepodge of folk, jazz, pop and the indescribable wrapped around the core of a break-up. The follow-up is in the works, but until its arrival, now is the time to revel in the hushed masterstroke that is In Between. This episode features two songs from In Between plus an exclusive TMT live performance of the unreleased "Drive."
