Why do we like this?

You've gotta be kidding me. I'm so surprised to see that Asaf Avidan's been practically shunned by the blogosphere. Maybe it’s too NPR? Maybe I'm not good at Googling anymore? I don't know. All I know is Pitchfork hasn't said shit yet, and you have to hear this.

Asaf's an Israeli folk singer-songwriter whose debut album was called “the best album you’ll ever hear" by the blog vivascene. He's got an intricate sound, with tracks like this evoking some strange mix of soul and folk. I'm in fucking love with his sound -- it reminds me of when I first heard The Arcade Fire.

I'm confident Asaf's about to shoot off like a champagne bottle, so keep on top of future releases via his SoundCloud. Check this live recording of "Reckoning" to see the artist in action:

By Justin Lam on Apr 5, 2013 | I definitely like a good short song, especially when every second is filled with raw emotion. "Only Child" by Perth duo Dead Owls is by no means the shortest song I've come across, but for its length it's certainly one of the most anthemic that I've ... read more →
