One of those critically acclaimed heavy-hitters of 00s indie that no one seems to talk about anymore?!
This record streamlines some of the frantic ideas strewn across their earlier records in a way that is honestly just more focused and memorable. Absolutely essential listen if you like oddball arrangements surrounding golden hooks, idiosyncratic vocal performances and tales of fabled and icky love.
HE WAS MADE TO LOVE HERRRRR
Lowkey Genius.

One of his more underrated albums that literally has zero skips. Text book example of a perfect album to me and one I recommend to anyone as an entry point to Princes gargantuan discography.

May be a bit niche for your needs but what an incredible piece. Warren Ellis is my favourite musician of all time and such an incredible violinist, so really just everything he's done is gold.

as the years go by i realized how much this dude has inspired me. somehow his songs captures the essence of night time, syrupy mysterious nocturnal grooves. it’s hard to recommend a proper entry point into his catalogue too, because there’s so much and to me it’s all good. though i always fall back on his solo records “bete noir” & “boys & girls.” it has the super hit “slave to love” obviously - but the other tracks are just as juicy - “windswept“ is a personal fav. each song features a different heavy hitter guitarist from the era too - which is why i’m so obsessed with it. he’s like a sweaty laid back lounge singer serenading you at 3AM, meanwhile these guitarists are just shredding behind him.
last saturday, i played a show and to get myself in the zone, i popped on “boys & girls” on the drive over. when i finished my set, a friend asked about the drum machine in one song and i said i took a cue from ferry and he recommended his 2010 record “olympia” which i somehow had never heard and now i’m currently obsessed with it. when i was packing up my gear the dj just put on another track of his. the next day at work, to sustain my post-show high i put on roxy music, and a customer i usually never talk to wound up sticking around telling me how much they love him. anyways i love that he‘s kind of my spirit guide following me around at the moment and highly recommend doing a deep dive into his world if you haven’t done so already…

A coffee is like 4 bucks so why not get a sandwich and hashbrowns for simply 2 extra bucks? And on a shimmering spring day in Chi? 😍 Take some time between things… take in the sound of the soaring birds overhead and the scents of the shirtless men playing soccer ahead.
Then we grind.
