Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring Stereo Embers, Brakebill and Araless. Enjoy! Robb Benson, lead singer for Seattle’s Stereo Embers, has one of the most distinct voices in the city. It’s big, bold and bright and the vocalist is able to shape it to whatever kind of song he’s undertaking. With his latest project, Benson is joined by Rock Tim DiJulio on lead guitar, Ben Brunn on bass and Cassady Laton on […]

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring Sounds Like Disco, Perfect Families and Fian. Enjoy!   “Down” by the LA-band, Sounds Like Disco, is an energetic fluffy firefly of a track meant for the convertible speeding on a sun-lit open road. It’s a slushy when everything else is beating down on you. It’s a pop hit simply put. Seattle dream-pop band, Perfect Families, have a new record out August 16th and their first […]

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring Omar Tellez, Razor Clam and Killer Workout. Enjoy!   You know those shots in movies where a person comes out of the shadows of an alleyway or something, hood on, you just see his mouth and the shadow of the world splashed over his face? That’s how Omar Tellez rhymes. Dude handles himself casual, almost unseen, and then he starts spitting and you see the truths […]

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring Annie Ford, Scarlet Parke and Deep Sea Diver.   Annie Ford has a couple new songs she’s going to release Nov. 5th at the Sunset. They are called “Crocodile Skin” and “White Needles.” Annie Ford is one of our favorite songwriters – she’s a dynamo on the violin (she can sway a room liek a drunken pirate ship). While I would love to post her haunting […]

Seattle Superheroes: Mary Lambert

Monday, October 17, 2016 12:46 — 0 Comments

Mary Lambert is the lovely singer made famous for her chorus on the M&RL song, “Same Love.” She also helped The Monarch raise some $12,000 to benefit victims of the Oso Mudslide. She also has a badass tatoo that can come alive when she whispers her superpower magic words, “She keeps me warm.” Mary is funny, beautiful and generous and we’re glad to call her friend (and a former Monarch Drinks With feature).   Art by Jill Denkmann.

Three Songs To The Head vol. 42

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring The Good Wives, Chris King and the Gutterballs and Khingz. The Good Wives’ song “Lonely Again” is like what I imagine a lullaby on Mars 3,000 years in the future sounds like. There is a considerate quality to the music, a repetition that conjures blankets and soothing, but the whole thing is also beat-driven, electric and mechanical. The song gets stuck in your head – particularly […]

The answer isn't poetry, but rather language
