Friday Music Day: Oct 11, 2013

I mentioned Emot last January, and I'm really digging this EP that the song was from.

Particularly the song "Lifting Off" (#2).
It's about drugs. But just not drugs, there's some nostalgia and regret in there. Country-tinged, psychedelic, moody. Is this what the Grateful Dead sound like to their fans? Except I don't wanna see gummi bears, I wanna watch an epic space anime (with the depth of Voices of a Distant Star) with this as the soundtrack.

They'll have a new album soon, I'm told. I think that the second album is better than the first, and the EP better than the second album, so I'm excited to hear what they come up with.

      1. for background music it's okay, but no memorable themes at all.

        I hate how every soundtrack has to have a vocal track (usually runs during end credits) just so it can have a qualifier for "Best Song" Oscar category. Just like most jazz instrumentalists will throw in a vocal track so the CD has a shot at the "Best R&B" Grammy.
