Mipso @ City Winery Chicago

This group is really quite phenomenal. I knew they were good live, but they sounded amazing. While I was happy to hear them in such an intimate setting, I couldn’t help but feel that they deserved to be better known, given how good they are.

The Paper Kites: Featherstone

The tempo is really constant. But the lyrics seem more off than just syncopated. They seem to arrive a half beat early. It’s hard to pin down, but it doesn’t quite feel in time with the rest of the song. It’s early, but just ever so slightly.
