Saint Julien - Cosmic Shimmy Blues (2012)

Thank fuck I've finally got a spare hour to sit down and listen to some music. Retail workers should get to celebrate holidays in January or something, I haven't had a moment to hear anything new as I've been working six days and week for next to nothing and seeing my family whenever not at the store. However, now that I got my gripes out of the way we can focus on what we're all here for, so new songs to ignore this world with. For a random pull of the over-flowing inbox, this is a pretty spectacular album. They described it as folktronica to me, which is about as apt a genre as I'll be able to label it. Getting more particular the sound goes from a very Strange Boys-esque quirky blues with more electronic effects to a dreamy indie pop. Although being among the adjectives I heavily over-use on this blog, I think they're charming as all get out. So hope this is a good one for y'all to begin to relax here in January as it's proven to be for me. And here's to hoping I can process this deluge of submissions better.

To be had here:

  2. I am awaiting like you are a full release. I see the two tracks on bandcamp now and have a watering mouth, and not just do to a condition.
