Whiskey & Bananas Vol. 31

Lonely Jones — Post Animal We’re big fans of Chicago’s Post Animal, who opened for The Orwells during a weekend of local shows, features actor Joe Keery of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” and creates cool blends of pop and psych-tinged indie rock.  Am I Wrong — Anderson Paak (feat. ScHoolboy Q) Our Chief Creative Officer Matt Reinhard is a huge fan of Anderson Paak — we think you will be too if you haven’t heard him yet!  New Song — Warpaint The ladies of Warpaint are back with an aptly titled “New Song,” and we’re pretty psyched to hear the rest of the new album.   Watcha Workin It Fa — New Breed Brass Band (feat. 5th Ward Weebie) Matt caught this great jazz-funk band playing on the street in New Orleans (where he also took this month’s playlist cover photo) and we can’t get enough.  Gimme Some Truth — John Lennon One of John Lennon’s slightly lesser-known political songs that still sounds all too familiar this election cycle.  I Know You Got Soul — Eric B. & Rakim We’re throwing it back to the late 80s with this early hip-hop classic from Eric B. & Rakim. Ladies Don’t Play Guitar — Tennis We’re excited to see indie pop-rock duo Tennis continuing to evolve their unique sound with new music.  La belle et le bad boy — Mc Solaar It wouldn’t be Whiskey & Bananas without a cool song that’s entirely en français.  Annie — Neon Indian Denton, Texas-originating Neon Indian’s catchy, danceable electronic indie pop is hard to get out of your head — but why would you want to? The Less I Know The Better — Tame Impala   Tame Impala’s excellent album “Currents” came out last summer, but we’re still jamming hard.
