Friday Fascination: NAVVI

Have you ever discovered a band that you felt immediately attached to and wanted to keep to yourself, but once you realize how talented and amazing they are - it's better to do the opposite? That's how I feel with NAVVI, a Seattle based experimental electro-pop project formed by Kristin Henry and Brad Boettger. Words can't express how much I love their most recent EP, and how confused I feel that they're currently unsigned. Listen below and join the undying fascination I have with these two. 

Although "Perfect Speed" is a beautiful opener, I must confess that "LA//3AM" is my favorite off their EP, as it tends to casually stay on repeat as much as possible. Sadly "//" is an EP that somehow unfortunately slipped past my list from last year, but excuse my language when I describe it as a goddamn gold mine. How did I sleep on this EP? In addition to "//", NAVVI also released an exclusive track titled "Speak" for "Kitsuné America 3 – The Musical Road Trip" that you can find on their magnificent SoundCloud page. Take my word & spend some time on there, seriously.

P.S. NAVVI recently covered one of my favorite songs by Radiohead "Climbing Up The Walls" & let me put it politely - it's a massage for the ears. Leave this on repeat after a late night or when you're looking for the perfect moment to relax, because this is your best bet as a companion when it comes to music. I am highly looking forward to catching NAVVI when they make their way to California, and hope you're thinking the same. 

This is magic in the making.

FRESHVIBESMONDAY #26

Hope everyone had a lovely Sunday/Easter/420/Day after National Record Store Day! While you're still wondering if that was actually Daft Punk during Arcade Fire's set last night at Coachella, here's 11 tunes to get the week rolling with. Pretty excited to see/hear new material from Vacationer & SUUNS, it's been a minute since we've last heard from either of those bands.

(P.S. It wasn't them after all.)
