Nate's Spotify Song of the Week- THEESatisfaction

Print

**Updated Weekly**

THEESatisfaction are Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White. Their website describes THEESatisfaction's works as "funk-psychedelic feminista sci-fi epics with the warmth and depth of Black Jazz and Sunday morning soul, frosted with icy raps that evoke equal parts Elaine Brown, Ursula Rucker and Q-Tip." To me, this is some of the most sonically interesting music of the year so far. Check out this CD from the library.

Nate's Spotify Song of the Week- Kottarashky & The Rain Dogs

Print

**Updated Weekly**

This week's song comes all the way from Bulgaria. Kottarashky is a music producer known for using field recordings from his country. When Kottarashky wanted to play live he put together this Tom Waits inspired band that blends his samples with keyboards, drums, bass, guitar, and traditional clarinet. The result is a very cool experiment in Balkan funk/blues.
