There’s so much good music out in the ether that sometimes it’s difficult to parse through all of it. Every week The Daily Music Report will do the hard work for you and highlight the best releases available on streaming services.
This week we’re highlighting new music from The Bowling Green, Stormzy, MIKE, Wiki & The Alchemist.
The Bowling Green – Self-Titled
Micko Westmoreland is back. For his third electronica album with The Bowling Green, Westmoreland dusts off 20-year-old tracks and brings them together for one final studio album. “6 of the 7 tracks were recorded together which is why I regard the Self-Titled release as a final ‘studio’ album,” says Micko. Primarily recorded between 2002-2005, Self-Titled has a timeless vibe that electronic music connoisseurs should love.
Standout Songs: Disco Thong, Déjà Vu, Live Wild West, Mastermind
