Slenderbodies Share Debut Album “Komorebi”

slenderbodies reveal their dreamy debut album komorebi.

I’m always a sucker for groovy tunes, which is why slenderbodies have been on my radar for a few years now. On Friday, the California duo of Max Vehuni and Benji Cormack finally gifted us with their debut album, the 11-track, super vibey komorebi. Finding themselves sounding somewhere in between Glass Animals and Alt-J, the duo went all in on capturing that mesmerizing feeling. According to the press release, the album was “conceptualized in the natural oasis of an isolated cabin” and Max and Benji refer to the album as “a letter or time-capsule to our older selves,” continuing, “The album is a reflection of our personal philosophies and sources of morality at the beginning of our adult lives and our career.” You can stream the album now and you can catch slenderbodies on tour this Fall, full dates listed below.

Previously, slenderbodies shared singles from the album, “arrival,” “away from you,” “belong” and “dewdrops.” You can find “belong” on our Tasty! Jams playlists.

The Tasty! Jams From July

A jam filled July.

 

July made it pretty hard to try and choose a song of the summer. With so many incredible releases, like new albums from Cuco, Blood Orange, and YBN Cordae, some tunes got lost in the shuffle. So here’s a quick roundup of all of last month’s jams, which you can find on our Tasty! Jams playlists.

We kicked things off with the Dreamville collaborative album, featuring J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, DaBaby, JID, and so, so many more. Then Dominic Fike and Kenny Beats hit us with “Phone Numbers” before Post Malone and Young Thug teamed for “Goodbyes.” We got a new album from JADEN, some Tasty! Jams from No Suits, Ohmfield, and quickly, quickly, as well as a new album from Hibou and a collaborative track from filous and Ashe. We also saw the return of dvsn and some big names like Bon Iver, Bonobo, and Sebastian. JVLY came through with a chill new single and Hippo Campus shared a pair of demo albums. FARR covered “Bulletproof,” warner case shared another deep house banger and we got some wavy new indie tracks from White Cliffs, Havelock and Yellow Days. We got new albums from Palace and Tuxedo, new jams from PB&GJ favorites Easy Life, Ocean Heights, Verzache, Goldwash, Four Tet and More Giraffes, and jams from some new faces like Alexandra, Jarami, Summer Salt, Poolside, PINES and AUGUST 08. Now, we can’t forget about the Queen! Beyoncé shared her new Lion King album and we also got new albums from Rich Brian and Chance The Rapper. Closing us out, we also featured new tunes from Papooz, La Felix, Cosmo’s Midnight, slenderbodies, Sweater Beats, Nick Dorian, Ashe, Louis Mattrs, Slow Magic, LeyeT, Caius, Zanski, OTR and so many more.

The Tasty! Jams From May

May may just be made for new music.

 

This past month has been mayhem. With more than 70 tracks receiving the Tasty! tag this month that’s more than double what we had in our Tasty! Jams playlists for May last year.

In May we got new albums from some of our favorite artists like Tyler, The Creator, Vampire Weekend, Golden Vessel, Denzel Curry, Mac DeMarco, Flying Lotus, Mating Ritual, Steve Lacy, pluko, Jamila Woods, and Crooked Colours.

That right there is more than enough music for one month. I would have been happy with the first three names there, but that was just the full albums from the month.

We also got new EP’s from Still Woozy, BAYNK, daste., Jeremy Zucker, Elohim, World Champion, Yeek, Milk & Bone & Alex Lustig, Midnight Pool Party, CAPYAC, and Patawawa.

Still, that’s not even close to all the jams that were released in May.

New singles came in this month from Verzache, Hayden James, Easy Life, Cuco, Petit Biscuit, Hot Chip, Garçons, Carter Reeves, JORDANN, Chance The Rapper, Aminé, Johan, Kate Bollinger, Clairo, Running Touch and so, so many more.
