S/D: Stones Throw Records

In "why is this on Stone's Throw" news, they're putting out the Anika album apparently. Which is produced by the Portishead guy. It sounds like Nico singing over ESG acetates.

And she covers "Masters of War" and "Terry," one of those "why did my boyfriend have to die on his motorcycle" tunes originally by Twinkle.

wow that sounds better than beak>

Stones Throw totally put out the aloe blacc LP, tho i hear universal have picked it up and will be giving it a big push in the new year...

wasnt feeling the j rocc album. sounded like a bunch of fake dj shadow tracks - not at all what i expected from j rocc as it just wasnt very funky really (liked play this too a bit though). the one sampling nas was great, and the very last track was great. the rest of it though, nah. sounded quite tired. shame as hes such a great dj.

enjoying this a lot lately -

Anybody heard 'The Stepkids' album...not bad not bad...

ooops .. wi-fi dropout results in mult. posts !
apologies.

Georgia Anne Muldrow's new album drops in March with Madlib producing. First time he's produced a female artist too, I believe.

well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1

still, this might be something to look out for!

actually went back to strawberry incense on pt 2 yesterday, rad.
i heard the first song from this record & wasn't really feeling it, but'll listen to anything he's doing right now, so still optimistic

I probably should give Olesi some more listens: last time I played something from that album, I was v pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it

Olesi's a wonderful album... in partic, Leroy.

I should have said this will be the first complete album Madlib has produced for a female artist. Lots of potential, hopefully.

well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1

not to mention the best track on pt 2.

i wasn't too into that muldrow/madlib track i heard, but would kill for a full badulib lp.

GAM hasn't topped Olesi but she's done a lot of good work since. Keen for the new one.

is it gonna be on stones throw? anyone know if its being PR'd in the UK?

not necessarily stones throw but that forge your own chains comp that now-again put out a while back is p incredible

Come to think about it, I don't think Georgia's new one is on Stones Throw.

haha, it isn't - just received a tweet saying she's not been on the label since 2006

Okay so I'm off by several years. Still looking forward to it. Ha!

amazing cover, good beats, passable retro battle verses ... but where's the dolemite?

there's barely any dolemite here except some sampled grunts.

lame

new strong arm steady soundin good

thread bump inspired me to throw on the 10 years comp. now I want weed.

What About You (In The World Today) by Co Real Artists was on my wedding playlist -- sort of my little sly jab at adulthood I guess

has anyone heard this
i can imagine a karriem riggins beattape being just what i need but i don't know, & i feel like it's the kinda thing i'd have to live with rather than hear to suss out

it's as hit and miss and all over the place as you'd expect, enough amazing moments to make it a keeper though. k. riffins and tom tom are both awesome. lots of wonky moog lushness and a bob moog shoutout iirc

this is fun, http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2012/06/stones-throw-podcast-74

The Stepkids album really stands up...love the P-funk vocal stylings on 'Brain Ninja'...the track they released late last year sounds really promising too...

a little late, but I love this video, and song:

Neat Steely Dan-esque track from forthcoming stepkids record

I'm looking forward to the doc

alright listened to this stepkids track and ya

the stepkids album is glorious

Really looking forward to this...loved the first album...'Sweet Salvation' and 'The Lottery' are sooo good

diff between this and first album is like the diff between the b&w and colour scenes in wizard of oz

http://www.spin.com/articles/the-stepkids-troubadour-stones-throw-album-stream/ stepkids streamin here

memoirs of grey and the lottery are completely amazing but everything else is kinda so so on first listen

should I post this on the R&B thread?

It's a grower, maybe. It's one of my favourites of the year.

really like this stepkids album

really good, lilys vibe, other things as well, great listen anyway
