  Flagpole Premieres: murk daddy flex, 'Morgan Middleton, Vox Populi'

  Blog: Homedrone

  

  The last we heard from the Classic City's foremost wizard of lo-fi beatscapes, murk daddy flex, aka Terence Chiyezhan, he was bowling Athens over with the Genesis LP, which we called "a kaleidoscopic stew of hip hop beats, global style and multi-genre finesse" in our 2014 review, and which landed at No. 4 in our list of that year's best local records.

  Blog: Homedrone

  

  As the solo project of Athens musician Jack O'Reilly (Wieuca, Blanko), Jack's Johnson is more or less whatever O'Reilly wants it to be at the moment. Today, we're tickled pink to premiere the latest single from Jack's Johnson, the enjoyable, incorrigible "Cropduster."

  6. John K. Samson: Winter Wheat

  I was, at one point, a pretty fervent Weakerthans fan, and some (maybe not-so) latent teenage part of me was thrilled by the fact that John K. Samson had recruited members of his former band to flesh out his latest solo record. Winter Wheat nods to Samson's past, but it was also one of two records released around election time (stay tuned for the other) that helped me cope with a troubled present and prepare for an uncertain future.

  Flagpole Premieres: WF Addams, 'Little Explosions'

  Blog: Homedrone

  

  Up-and-coming Athens/Atlanta three-piece WF Addams formed this spring out of the ashes of heavy/sad/epic rock group Juna, and ditches that project's sense of unresolved gloom for a somewhat more spirited, if no less reflective, approach.
