TiRon & Ayomari - Jack Kerouac


On September 13th my twitter feed went nuts over TiRon & Ayomari's freshly released "A Sucker For Pumps", and I won't lie; without checking out the tracklist, I looked for a download link. And I couldn't find one! So after countless minutes of excruciating deliberation, I broke bank and headed over to bandcamp so I could buy the 14-track album. This was my latest musical purchase since Section.80, and we all know that's well worth the money. But what about ASFP? I'll start by saying this is a classy effort by these guys. As the title suggests, the album's theme is women. Break-ups, make-ups, intimate relations, promises to do better...ASFP has it all, without ever once belittling the females in our lives. Anytime an artist can relay positive messages with such strength and consistency throughout an album is well deserving of a purchase. Most of the tracks are memorable, none sound too familiar and the production is unique and eccentric. Here's one of the many tracks that stand out.

Jack Kerouac


If you like what you hear, don't do what I tried to do and download it. All too often, great work is grouped in with the radio slop we hear because no one wants to step up and drop 8 dollars for it. Break the cycle, guys - head on over to Bandcamp or iTunes and support guilt free.
