SYL Retro Song Pick - White Room by Cream

Cream were a 1960s British blues-rock band and supergroup consisting of bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker. Their sound was characterized by a hybrid of blues, hard rock and psychedelic rock, combining Eric Clapton's blues guitar playing with the voice and basslines of Jack Bruce and the jazz-influenced drumming of Baker.

SYL APPROVED - Class Actress @ Fellini

 

This is crazy. First Phantogram and now Class Actress, it really is an embarrassment of riches. The best part is that we all get to experience the ride together. 

So now to the music. It doesn't take much to instantly like Class Actress. Just from the opening stanza of "Journal Of Ardency" u get the idea that this is something different. The reality of it is that it has been done before, just not as aesthetically pleasing or catchy. The mixture of vinyl samples, looped into Billboard Top 20 worthy melodies, coupled with Elizabeth Harper's sensual voice crooning over it, makes for one of the most interesting releases of the year. A lot of good music coming out of Williams"Beard", Brooklyn  and they are one of the obvious standouts.

Friday Night will be amazing, hope u can make it. Here are a few tracks to keep u entertained till then.

This was the first song I ever heard from them and its my favorite. It is EPIC.
