Thank God It's Friday (Part 4)

Let's do TGIF one more time since I'm off work today. Here's some more gold from my 2011 saved drafts featuring white rapper Bo Jankans, the grooves of Lovebirds, the vocals of Katy B, a classic jam by New Radicals and the amazing vibes of Shakira.

Florian Pellissier Quintet

Timeless, the Florian Pellissier Quintet travels in jazz from Paris to New York. A rule of the game would be to rediscover the flavor of groups New Yorkers of the 60's coming to mix with the European musicians of the time. These guys are smooth. Dreamy.

I'm going back into the 2011 saved drafts for Thank God It's Friday. We've got the soulful voice of Marcus Foster and a fun track from El Ten Eleven. And lastly the indie party vibes of NewVillager and Grouplove.

Khruangbin

Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Texas, formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Johnson on drums. Thanks to their 70s vibe If I remade Oceans 11 or Driver I would use their music. Check out their bandcamp for all the goods.

KOKOROKO

KOKOROKO is a London based Afrobeat 7-Piece. They play music they love and grew up with. Inspired by the greats of West African they honor their masters through music. Also they definitely have a Buena Vista Social Club vibe and that's saying something.

For TGIF again I'm pulling tracks from my 2011 saved drafts. It's a punk, electronic and indie rock selection that I still dig. The hidden gems are "Outtacontrol" by LDFD, "Antics" by Jubilants, "Hyperlips" by Com Truise, "Swim" by Wishing Wars and "Long Gone" by Prison For Kids.
