Shuggie Otis

Now this is one artist where I feel really embarrassed I haven’t known him earlier.

The soft, laid-back R&B from the 60s and 70s just fires up my good mood, no matter what I do in the background (or foreground). Superb guitar skills make this man a remarkable, true blues, funk & soul protagonist. One of those musicians that have an enormous potential which is never recognized or discovered by the mainstream. Nevertheless, he’s had and declined his offers, for a good reason, too.

Listen to his album Here Comes Shuggie Otis.

Enjoy.

Conduits

Check out this indie supergroup from the US. Dense, dark and intense guitar sounds combined with slow, relaxed, sometimes hypnotic beats make you shoegaze the night away. Have a glass of red wine, or two. Or whiskey.

Not to be confused with the band The Conduits from the Netherlands.
