Welcome to Episode 57 of the Fresh Sounds Podcast! This week, Mark and Brendan have a fresh basket of groovin' tunes, beginning with a thumpin' new track from London's Overmono, then off for some Chicago indie-rock, from Girl K. Next, some fresh Detroit hip-hop, from the pairing of Illa J. and Atamone. (Illa J, for those who don't know, is the younger brother of the late superproducer J. Dilla.) Rounding out the new music, a taste of deep house from Tokyo's Soshi Takeda.
Mark commands the time machine this week, and he went all the way back to 1971, for a newly released live performance by James Taylor and Joni Mitchell, of a song written by Carole King(!) How may 1970s deities can you fit in one archive track?!
