NEW POST ON @theomys Puddles written by @wkd_terryn - Tap play on first image for sound 🔊 . It's a regretful, step-by-step climb up this ladder. Propelled by a few soulful horns and sincere, explorative, muted guitar, the O’My’s steal the show and run with it. When it rains in the Chi, bring in a legend: SABA effortlessly ties the legs back on this ode to souls once celebrated, now remembered and lamented. His flow, a sturdy rudder, guiding the listener on a lyrical ferry through unknowns. Perfect falsettos, chords and atmosphere. Ripples and waves don’t stop when the source is long gone. They carry on. A slow, teary-eyed progression, culminating in acceptance. Time is fleeting, memories are forever. .

NEW STORY ON @astrosam_ Samson written by @wkd.terryn - Tap play on first image for sound 🔊🔊🔊 - video from @sofarchicago . Only some serious jazz kids could contrive something as beautiful as Samson. Slow and timid then all at once, fire, cruelty and sadness. Helplessness. A striking tale of vulnerability complete with amazingly weird little psychedelic flourishes that make this piece a fun listen, despite Thair’s painfully soulful pipes. . I’ve only just met you. It’s gotten to the point where I think letting my guard down around you could be rewarding and free of scrutiny. You’re perfect. Something’s telling me to take it slow but my shoulder-devil says jump. How much time do we really even have? Or are we just on yet another joyful cruise; the lettering on the side reads “Titanic.” Love effectively numbs the pain, but, like any drug, it never lasts. . You’re cutting me there. It starts as a dull throbbing until I feel it, piercing. Millions of tiny needles coursing through my arteries and veins. My lungs, my eyes, legs, everything just stops working. Suddenly, this divine power, this secure confidence that you gave me backfires. I’m someone who I don’t recognize. I’m nothing. I’m less than I was before we embarked. I’m bare. From wrestling lions to a sad man, defeated and bald. Samson with no hair. . After this, Astro Samurai runs through the story again. How many more times will this happen before I learn my lesson? Maybe it’s just my own personal ebb and flow of relationships that I should learn to accept. Thair expertly glides, fine-tuned and clean jazz piano and ‘verb’d out guitar beneath his wings. A risen phoenix. . . @aarondaymusic @reubengarza @forboyslikeme @bendillinger @astrohayden . . . . . #aragonballroom #beatkitchenchicago #bottomloungechicago #chopshopchicago #emptybottlechicago #foundationroomchicago #houseofvanschicago #hungrybrain #lincolnhallchicago #parkwestchicago #reggiesmusicjoint #schubaschicago #spaceevanston #themetrochicago #thepromontory #tonicroomchicago #astrosamuraimusic #sofarchicago #bodiddley #weknowdiddley (at Thalia Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/By5AZ8RBhAq/?igshid=yrsnx0h3p8qt

NEW STORY ON @annaofthenorth Baby written by @wkd.terryn - Tap play on first image for sound 🔊🔊🔊 video from the @stolensessions . All-around uncertain, nervous. I’ve no idea what will happen in the coming days. I just want to know if our plans mean anything anymore? Or are they just worthless, empty promises made to make each other feel better. At this point, we’re definitely past the peak, the climax. Our magnum opus has been written and read. Now, we barely even see each other. Thinking towards our future only makes me think harder about us in the past. . That feeling of desperation, of holding on with one hand, then just a finger. Falling head over heels, reluctantly, yet so easily. They told me to never get attached like this. Like a bandaid but more temporary… Thinking about the alternative is the slow and painful process of removing stitches with needle nose pliers. Anything at all that would postpone that would be…pretty great, to say the least. Just tell me what you need. . In this trek to the limits of anguish, Anna of the North hazily tugs at all the heartstrings. Don’t fight it. The ultra-personal “Baby,” a confident plea to what’s right. To what has worked up until now, so why veer off course? Hell, even when we’re off-roading or while speeding down the freeway, the car flips. Hold tight. . . . . . #aragonballroom #beatkitchenchicago #bottomloungechicago #chopshopchicago #concordmusichallchicago #emptybottlechicago #foundationroomchicago #houseofvanschicago #hungrybrain #lincolnhallchicago #parkwestchicago #reggiesmusicjoint #schubaschicago #spaceevanston #subterraneanchicago #themetrochicago #thepromontory #tonicroomchicago #annaofthenorth #sofarchicago #weknowdiddley #bodiddley (at Thalia Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/By9L-wThy3l/?igshid=1st2vny0fm0ot

NEW STORY ON @rlumrmusic Suddenly written by @wkd.terryn - Tap play on first image for sound 🔊🔊🔊 . Both of us from shattered homes with fucked-up family structures. Our most beloved relatives a distant memory, we knew all too well the feeling of being alone on this Earth. Naturally we fell in love deeply and organically. Sunsets on the beach turning into sunrises. Days filled with understanding and connection. How is this possible? This was different. Our years of heartbreak, broken promises, and desires a distant memory of the past. . Plans and memories we promised to create slowly transformed into late nights at work and spite. Promises replaced with lies and heartbreak I know all too well. I’ve been here. Way too many times. Basically, this ain’t how I go out, sugar. We’re too old to keep see-sawing in the park. I am, that is. It takes two, but then suddenly I don’t, I don’t care. And now, I'm not sure what else I can do for us. For you. And forever whoever else cruelly benefits off of my slowing heartbeat. . An ebb and flow of somber realizations, long silver notes and smooth falsettos. “Suddenly,” a healthy confession of breaking the silence and moving far into the future. . . . . . #aragonballroom #beatkitchenchicago #bottomloungechicago #chopshopchicago #concordmusichallchicago #emptybottlechicago #foundationroomchicago #houseofvanschicago #hungrybrain #lincolnhallchicago #parkwestchicago #reggiesmusicjoint #schubaschicago #spaceevanston #subterraneanchicago #themetrochicago #thepromontory #tonicroomchicago #rlumr #sofarchicago #weknowdiddley #bodiddley (at Thalia Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzA05VCBiBW/?igshid=pwvr7jncwzop

NEW STORY ON @mooreamasa Shine a Light written by @wkd.terryn - Tap play on second image for sound 🔊🔊🔊 . . A dark, unkempt apartment on the other side of the city. The rent is dirt cheap; it’s just an escape, a dismal vacation from reality. More often than I’d like to admit, I’ve been there. That filthy corner of my mind where the lights flicker and the rats scurry through the shadows and cobwebs. We’ve been there. Some, more so than others. . . Then there are those monsters. Those who have been in this gloomy sanctuary for so long, they’ve become it. They’ve become lonely and crave company. Actively striving to bring others down into the lair, they’ll kick, they’ll scream, hurling baseless insults and blows. Bruising me black and blue until eventually, I look around and see nothing except wickedness in the cold shade. Moorea Masa urges otherwise. These beasts are products of their environment. “Shine A Light” is a disobedient ballad of realizing the troubles and setbacks of others and putting my own on the back burner. I can’t let you drag me down there, but what I can do is bring a flashlight. What I can do is show you how to open the shutters, exterminate the rodents and illuminate. @mooreamasa is currently on tour in Europe with @mazerlioness. Not sure but believe @ogsnipe took most of the photos seen in this post. . . . . . #aragonballroom #beatkitchenchicago #bottomloungechicago #chopshopchicago #concordmusichallchicago #emptybottlechicago #foundationroomchicago #houseofvanschicago #hungrybrain #lincolnhallchicago #parkwestchicago #reggiesmusicjoint #schubaschicago #spaceevanston #subterraneanchicago #themetrochicago #thepromontory #tonicroomchicago #emotionalmusic #musicwithmeaning #musicintelligence #newmusic #listentothis #musicislife #musicblog #weknowdiddley #bodiddley (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzGJKkqBkJh/?igshid=1pii9zx64skfo

New release today!! Read @wkd.terryn review of @wtfenzi Wit It - Tap play on second image for sound 🔊🔊🔊 . Sideways glances and texts from one room to the next. Priding myself on being open, transparent, though yeah, I was different back then. Okay, now I’m focused. There are at least 40 people at this party, laughing, joking, crying, wasting precious time….but who’s actually talking? Who’s listening? The white noise is unimportant. . . A calm, calculated charge forward. The fuck up out my way. Warren Thomas Fenzi’s “Wit It,” rhythmically bounces with no time to waste. No hindering obstacles or barriers, I break though. I wasn’t placed here to float, weightless in a cloud of uncertainty. Fake social bravado in the public eye, my sense of being human, a human-being, shrinks. Friends are gone to dust and minutes past, but we’re here. Don’t make me say it twice. . . . . . #aragonballroom #beatkitchenchicago #bottomloungechicago #chopshopchicago #concordmusichallchicago #emptybottlechicago #foundationroomchicago #houseofvanschicago #hungrybrain #lincolnhallchicago #parkwestchicago #reggiesmusicjoint #schubaschicago #spaceevanston #subterraneanchicago #themetrochicago #thepromontory #tonicroomchicago #warrenthomasfenzi #weknowdiddley #bodiddley #sofarchicago (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQmcm1BOzb/?igshid=2di8uk9i8c3h

NEW RELEASE from @apachegrosse @dead.ly.habits ▶️▶️ > for a behind the scenes look and video on the making of High Stakes. . . READ BELOW for @wkd.terryn story on High Stakes - Tap play on fifth image for sound 🔊🔊🔊 . . The hallway backstage, pale with a small, rosy glow from the lights through the door left ajar. They dim from a hot, beet-red to transparent, raw whispers of sea foam and magenta then back to red. My brain is dancing, a margarita of Hennessy and whatever remained in the cup on that cloudy glass coffee table in the dressing room. It was a violet-blue with fruity silver hairs. . . It’s the after-party and my vision is vibrating. That weird, slow haze of elation that I couldn’t sleep off if I tried. Only ride it out.  We’re both taking off social norms, one layer at a time, at the end of a productive day. Smokin’ heavy, dancing, killing time with the quickness. Before we both know it, the sun’s rays creep towards us as we pull into the driveway. . . Rolling dice throughout “High Stakes,” Apache Grosse’s latest multifaceted tale of life behind the electric guitars and amplifiers. Deadly Habits spins through the track, framing Apache’s flow with wails, solos and spicy riffs. Long strides down a smoky corridor, get high with me. . . . 📸 @vinny_b_imagery and @wkd.jansen . . #musicreviews #musicdiscovery #newtalent #musicblogs #musicblogger #musicbloggers #singersongwriter #musiccurator #musicinfluencer #musicwebsite #musicjournals #musiccommunity #musicsubmittions #aragonballroom #beatkitchenchicago #bottomloungechicago #chopshopchicago #concordmusichallchicago #emptybottlechicago #foundationroomchicago #houseofvanschicago #emotionalmusic #musicwithmeaning #musicintelligence #newmusic #musicislife #musicblog #weknowdiddley #bodiddley #do312 (at The House Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQ00N6B4IW/?igshid=lc9swvw4sbwb

NEW STORY ON @kacieswierk - When the Strong One Cries written by @wkd.terryn - Tap play on second image for sound 🔊🔊🔊 . . I guess I’m some kind of Olympic athlete or maybe a Herculean god? Sure seems that way. People watch me walk by and hear me shout in a big crowd. I missed the meeting where everyone decided that mine was the face of perfection… But when I’m down and struck out, am I still that immortal being you thought I was? I think we’re all still trying to find a clear distinction between forgiven and forgotten. We’re not scary year round, just for Halloween. It’s a damn shame they only know me for the costume and mask. They’re content with the superficial. Their loss. . . Slowly, I lift my gaze to a gorgeous, diverse composition of plucking, staccato rhythms, strings drifting and atmospheric cymbals crashing dramatically. Meanwhile, Kacie Swierk’s airy, buoyant vocals fill and catch the gears that get this full-featured machine of a song moving. “When the Strong One Cries” is a call to finding diamonds in the dirt and letting the elements do their job while I stay my own course. Dented but not derailed. . . @adamsammika @alex.goldblatt @sammyhaig @babone64 . . 📸by @wkd.jansen . . . . . . #aragonballroom #beatkitchenchicago #bottomloungechicago #chopshopchicago #concordmusichallchicago #foundationroomchicago #houseofvanschicago #hungrybrain #lincolnhallchicago #parkwestchicago #reggiesmusicjoint #schubaschicago #spaceevanston #subterraneanchicago #themetrochicago #thepromontory #tonicroomchicago #weknowdiddley #bodiddley #sofarchicago #logansquare #kacieswierk #sofarchicago #sofarsounds (at Evanston SPACE) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8CcHZhAtz/?igshid=qmrh2fec6igf
