Deadpan Love

Cautious Clay

Though he has released several EP’s, Deadpaan Love is Cautious Clay’s first feature length album. Clay has gained notoriety in recent years through his songwriting collaborations which household names like Taylor Swift and John Legend.  Indeed, Clay’s emotional lyrics in Deadpan Love are what sets this album apart. Said best by Mr. Clay himself, “Deadpan Love explores the ways I cope with the worst of what humanity has to offer. It’s about opposites—having an outer layer that’s tougher, this ‘deadpan’ state, and an inner layer of compassion, where you’re open to being there for the people you care about.”

Quarterthing

Joey Purp

Once predominantly a feature rapper, Joey Purp steps into his own with his debut studio album, Quarterthing. He comes from the Chicago based school of rap, growing up alongside other legends of the city like Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa, and eventually pairing up with local producers including Louis the Child and Tokimonsta. Mr. Purp takes the lead on Quarterthing and indeed, takes it to another level. Compared to his prior mixtapes, Quarterthing comes a bit more mature, definitely more polished, but still packs his notable signature punch. Read more about the inspiration behind Quarterthing including his childhood in Chicago and new life as a father.

Stress Dreams

Greensky Bluegrass

In reading a little bit about the 7th studio album from Greensky Bluegrass, I discovered a new word... “jamgrass”. Jamgrass seems to allude to the new-wave of bluegrass bands who play via Grateful Dead-like length jam sessions and improvisational furry. Bluegrass artists who fade into psychedelic distortions of their guitars. A move probably once thought to be faux pas in many bluegrass circles, now seems to be celebrated, championed by artists like of Billy Strings. 

Stress Dreams, despite it’s short 4-song length, takes the listener along winding curves on each of it’s feature-length songs. Building and slowly descending and building back up again via mandolin, banjo, upright bass and vocals... jaming in the grass all the way!

Time To Move

She Said Disco

Here’s probably the shortest feature on Album Daily to-date; a 3 song EP by She Said Disco. At just under 15k monthly listeners on Spotify and a pretty inactive Twitter account, this project feels like the side hustle of someone who just really loves disco music, and that makes us happy :)

This EP heavily leverages beat loops like you’ve come to know from a DJ duo like Duck Sauce (Armand van Helden and A-Trak) and then adds on that top layer of high energy, reverberated lyrics, and luscious orchestral arrangements that make it very, very disco.

Falling In Love is a great crowd pleaser and turn to I Can’t Wait for the slow dance change-of-pace.
