Slo Get Up 12 - Keep It Fresh - a podcast by wyatt closs

On this Slo Get Up, the basic format remains but it is all about the new. Or the relatively new, in comparison to other Slo Get Up podcasts. Most tracks here are from 2012 and even a handful from 2013. That’s keeping it extra fresh!  And so many artists that I am so excited about right now. Who bring me delight every morning. There’s a cozy one from Nia Andrews called “The Lovers”.   A gruff, yet melodic, almost Burt Bacharach-ish gem from Cody Chestnutt called “Chips Down”.  The infectious “Treat Me Like Fire” by Lion Babe, whose debut album I can’t wait to hear. 
And England’s Laura Mvula, Toro y Moi, the retro-soul of Charles Bradley,  Childish Gambino, Australia’s Hiatus Kaiyote, Def Sound, Alabama Shakes, Lianne La Havas, Rhye and more great artists you may not have heard much about.  Then at the end we arise, fully awake to Quantic and Alice Russell doing “Look Around the Corner,” nudging you with the refrain “Another day is born, rise up, with the new light of dawn…”. Indeed it is.  Special shout-out to Jahsonic, Aaron Byrd, and Gilles Peterson who influenced some of these selections.  As always, the playlist can be found here. All available on itunes or Amazon or Bandcamp.
