Music for Mellow Mornings

Animal Tracks by Mountain Man

We took Micky to the airport early today, and since Graham's got a mean ol honking cough, we spent the rest of the morning inside playing music and reading books. I heard this song (below) in a yoga class weeks ago and didn't figure out what it was until yesterday. Sylvan Esso is a two-person band, produced by Nick Sanborn and voiced by Amelia Meath who used to sing with Mountain Man (above), a female folk trio I just discovered thanks to Spotify's Biography lesson. I like them both, but am really leaning hard on the soft harmonies of Mountain Man right now. And! Another revelation! Both bands are based in the Raleigh-Durham area. Which somehow makes them even dearer to my heart. Have a listen.

Pick-Me-Up Music Video

I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but I love Chris Brown's music video for Yeah 3X. This is not a new video at all, but it's remained a staple on my music list. 

This song is upbeat and worthy of being blasted from all car windows- mini vans included!

The video is its own beast. The dancing is fantastic. Love him or hate him, Chris Brown can sing and dance. 

Enjoy your weekend!
