Powerbrokers in the House

Bob Moses, Days Gone By

I think I would love any Brooklyn duo who name themselves after New York's great, but deeply flawed, master builder.  But these guys actually deliver the goods with a smooth take on deep house and electro-pop that is the perfect sound for changing seasons.

For me it recalls Rhye's staggeringly beautiful Woman from 2013. Like that disc, Days Gone By has a warmth and humanity perfectly communicated by its album cover: these are love songs.

"Too Much Is Never Enough" is my favorite cut.  On headphones, this is the stuff of daydreams; playing through your house, you're in clubland.

Last one in McCarren Pool is a rotten egg. 

Singles Going Steady - September

"Now it is September and the web is woven"  - Wallace Stevens

Here's what's playing at my house during my favorite month of the year.

Matt Simons, "Catch and Release" - A little bit chillcore, a little bit Seals and Croft.  But tasty.

Tame Impala, "Cause I'm a Man" - Go, ahead reach for that high note in the shower.

Yo La Tengo, "Automatic Doom" - Your soundtrack for the summer's last batch of margaritas.  Not too sweet, now.  

Bob Moses, "All I Want" - I'm wearing out this deep house track.

Oh, and this:
The Turtles, "You Showed Me" -  The "Back to School" sound of 1969.

Turn it up. Really.
