Ep. 040: New Music Hunt 2023
Unearthed treasure for your pleasure.
Performer | Track | Album | Original Release Year | New | Show Notes |
The Hound + The Fox | Dream a Little Dream of Me | Single | 2023 | * | Husband and wife team of Reilly and McKenzie Zamber. They've done all the lullaby songs. But, in a very separate lyrical genre, they also did a very good version of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill. |
Natural Wonder Beauty Concept | Fallen Angel | Natural Wonder Beauty Concept | 2023 | * | Just released last week, this is a fabulous collaboration between Ana Roxanne and DJ Python. On the same day as the album release, Ana Roxanne did a show in New York with Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto, which looked really cool. Lots of clips of the show on Instagram. |
