Today's Top Tune

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Kamasi Washington grew up playing jazz in legendary Leimert Park under the tutelage of his father. His sophomore album explores everyday realities and cosmic themes. Big ideas take time, so the finished recording clocks in at 2 1/2 hours. Join the band on their journey into "The Space Travelers Lullaby."

The dark force behind EELS, Mark Oliver Everett, doesn't come off as a cheery type of guy. "Today Is The Day" sounds like him but is airy and cheerful with an optimistic perspective.

Sam Evian is the moniker of New York based musician, producer, and album cover graphic artist Sam Owens. A track we love is "Health Machine," a crunchy reverb-laden ditty about taking care of his health while on the road.

Back in June 2017, Jim James invited a group of musical friends to get together for an impromptu jam. This particular group of seasoned musicians shared a bond that would lead to a revelation in sound and eventually, "When We're Gone."

E da Bass (of Myron and E) and Trailer Limon team up as The Pendletons, conjuring up old-school funk. Today’s track comes with a sexy horn section and finger snapping bass line. Here’s "Funk Forever."

Melody Prochet - the force behind Melody's Echo Chamber - went back to her childhood music conservatory (at the age of 30), to learn to play the drums. "Breathe In, Breathe Out" is the first song Melody played drums on and says about the song "It's a special one. I'm used to recording with masters of drums and accepting my drum playing as not perfect but with the right intention was a big deal to me."

For Beach House's 7th recording, the duo began to rethink their approach and shed some of their self-imposed limitations (including only writing parts that can be performed live). The studio became a lab, where they tinkered and experimented and "Lemon Glow" is one of those songs

"Ferry Boat" is the seventh release from siblings The Chapin Sisters, and it’s their first recording since they each gave birth to their first child. On the eve of Mother's Day, we are treated to the title track "Ferry Boat", which is a prime example that a good harmony and guitar is all you need.

Vacationer co-founder, frontman, and bassist Kenny Vasoli tucked himself away in isolation to shift his focus from songwriting to production for their forthcoming album "Mindset." Studying the nuances of Ableton and some of his favorite albums -"Magnetism" borrows a beat from the Hall & Oates songbook.

Austin born but LA-based trio Mamalarky explore the delights of new love via jazz chords and psychedelic pop. They sing in unison about "Nonmonogamy."
