The Time Of The Assassins - 70 Days & 70 Nights

Last week I spent some time to cover some promo albums we got and clear that inbox. After few days though it’s still full, so here’s another post with email submissions. Beware though I won’t be checking new stuff that’s sent to us for at least a month from now on. Simply because I don’t have the time, if anyone wants to help us checking out and reviewing some of the new stuff sent to us by PR crews and artists don’t hesitate to send an email. I can really use some help now that error101’s not touching her blogging gloves.

Here’s a quick rundown: We start off with Lightning Head alter ego of Bigga Bush from Rockers Hi-Fi. A massive afrobeat inspired dance tune which is going to be released as the debut single of his own label on May 27. Grillo is Matteo Grilli from Italy, with his debut jazzy beats and glitch hop album on Beatpick. Austin,TX native Rae Davis’s Antipop debut is highly impressive. Here’s the opener “Yesterday’s History”, laidback blunted beats with trumpet licks and strings. Singer-songwriter Alan Wilkis has a lighthearted pop / electronica album which reminded me of Victor Lams. This cheerful and catchy tune has a lovely moog solo. Whatfor is, ’60s-brand pop written by Michael Sienkowski from Madison, WI. His debut album will be released in May, not exactly my cup o’ tea but it’s a good tune.
