Solange (Beyonce’s sister) has decided to cover the epic Bitte Orca track “Stillness is the Move.” Yeah that same Dirty Projectors song that better be on your best of list. It’s a slow, sensual take that is backed by the familiar music that drove Dr. Dre’s “XXplosive,” Soul Mann & the Brothers’ “Bumpy’s Lament.” Don’t worry, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about once you hit play. I say she releases this because I think it would be a big hit. Or at least whatever a big hit means in this current musical landscape. I’m a fan. Stay classy Solange.

I’d like to clarify that for this show they cut off the back half of Neumo’s floor with a curtain and had the upstairs bar closed. It made Neumo’s obviously seem much smaller than it is. Unfortunately, now having seen Neumo’s fully open at another show I can say that this show was very empty. Still White Denim and Brazos rocked.

I agree, it’s very good. Way to deflate their balloon.

Love the photos. And that “Walkabout” song is the drugs.

Wow… really sad there are no Chicago dates for this. Can’t wait to hear how the PHJB benefit compilation sounds. So many amazing musicians and for a really great cause as well.

Was a little skeptical at first, but I have to say, this is pretty awesome. I agree, she should release it.
