The video for Kishi Bashi’s Philosophize In It! Chemicalize With It! is rightfully surreal and psychedelic. If you are a Vodka reader, then you will recall Kishi Bashi from about a year ago and the review for Bright Whites. Philosophize In It! Chemicalize With It! was actually released as a single in September of last year, but was included in Kishi Bashi’s second full-length, Lighght, a collection of cohesive and interesting tunes, mostly electronically created.

It’s a little more up-beat than Scars but it keeps the full bodied feel that has made Lux Lisbon sound so fresh and full. You can find more information on Lux Lisbon by…
Read MoreGriff’s Room Band is a friendly melding of bluegrass and pop that will have your feet moving and head bobbing here on Corner Booth from the band’s new EP, Shut The Case (June 2014). Originally loosely formed as a band of street performers in Colonial Williamsburg in 2011, the trio found that their music seemed to appeal to an wide variety of people.
