#MUSICMONDAYS: 25 NEW SONGS + MIX OF THE WEEK 12.14.15

 
 

New-Releases-121415

Music Mondays! Here are 25 new releases from our Asian American music community. Plus our pick for Mix of the Week!

*FEATURED VIDEO*

St. Lenox - The Greyhound Bus Song

This week's featured video is by St. Lenox, the project of Andrew Choi. Variously categorized as “folktronica”, r&b, indie-pop and jazz, St. Lenox has performed nationally. St. Lenox’s debut album 10 Songs About Memory and Hope, has received critical acclaim. What caught our immediate attention was Andrew's vocals, which has been described as “somewhere between honest tabernacle rafter-shaking and jumbo mumble”. We checked in with Andrew Choi about the inspiration behind the video:

"I take the bus to travel most places because I get nervous flying and driving, long distances can be a little prohibitive. The past few years I've been taking the bus at night so I don't lose daylight time to travel. The video was meant to capture the romance of night travel." - Andrew Choi of St. Lenox
