James Apollo performing “Big Dipper” for my absolute favorite radio station KEXP from Seattle. I wish we had radio stations like this in Portugal. Produced by songwriting monster Damien Jurado, Apollo’s new EP Little War, Little Less sees the light of day next June 4th via Cakes and Tapes (pre-order info coming soon) and his very own imprint Marterry Music. Watch the whole KEXP session here.

Jokes aside, here’s Cookies. You could say that we’re indulging this band a priori, since their name translates no more no less to “Bolachas” in Portuguese (now you know, newcomers) and in fact, I wouldn’t just ignore such given opportunity to make some jokes about this fact, at least. So I went listening. And damn, it got me right away.
Ben Sterling (Mobius Band), Melissa Metrick and Ian Ainley start shitless: some enjoyable beat, groovy bass, throw some synths here and there and the rest is up to guitar reveries and a male-female choir singing. All this results in a really happy, funky, danceable and catchy jam, straight from some pool party next Summer (mssng Milhões de Festa).
Also, they’re making some cool friends. “Crybaby (A)” (linked above) features the freaky “balls to the wall” virtuoso saxophonist Colin Stetson, jamming up your asses. Besides that, there’s great guitar work on some solos, 1000 Breakfasts With You, bringing some rock to the mixture.
In a total of eight songs, two for each single (all available for free here), it was a fun half hour. Really, really fun. Simple works, but effectively groovy (there, it’s a quote!). 4 cookies for this one, no pun intended.

Matana Roberts is awesome. I didn’t have to tell you that. You figured it out just by watching the video above, right?
Props to Videoteca Bodyspace.

HuffPost has just premiered this nostalgia-filled brand new video for Explosions in the Sky’s “Postcard from 1952” off their latest record Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. Their latest show in Portugal was (almost) exactly eight years ago, but they’re bound to return in (almost) exactly one month, playing in the first night of the Optimus Primavera Sound festival in Porto.
