Dear Swagophiles,
Polo Road Swag affiliate James G. Simpson and his girlfriend Isabel Ortiz showed up on theforestfolk, a dank fashion blog for the Wake Forest community. Swag attracts swag. That is all. Swag.
it’s here. click the cover-art to download the full album for free or listen below. swag.
one year ago today (and right at midnight), grant livesay released his instrumental album “late october legal” right here for polo road swag. the album, which was written and recorded in a single day, is composed of twenty-four instrumental tracks branching through all manner of genre and instrumentation, from jazzy pianos and rolling drums to wailing guitars and evocative synthesizers. enjoy the fall season, laugh out loud a few times, vibe out to some eclectic hip-hop, and remember, remember… listen to the full album below or download it for free by clicking on the cover art depicted above. swag.
some delicious ear-candy for all of you trick-or-treaters and hip-or-hoppers: grant done gone off and leaked this particularly spooky tune off of the upcoming twinn zeus album “synaesthetic experiment 3253” which will be available for free online on november 13th. swag.
we’re introducing a new emcee this week on t’wednesday by the name of amen. however, let not his moniker of closure imply some sort of finality within his lyricism; the man specializes in the commencement of debate not unlike polo road swag’s very own twinn zeus. check out these two spitting over a brand new flying lotus beat above. swag.
it’s that time of year again and my did it fall quickly upon us. meet autumn. she tends to align herself with a certain seasonal disposition, and, of course, she’s one of matt’s girls. the ticket provides this young woman yet again with an appropriate soundtrack, this time one that evolves from soft synthesizers to symphony orchestral arrangements. we hope you enjoy autumn as much as we here at polo road swag do. swag.
ever just feel the urge to let loose? get some things off of your chest? throw a tantrum or two? or, in the case of affiliate multi-instrumentalist etc. grant livesay’s latest jazz-fusion-hop jam, five? introducing the modern day peers: an underground rap trio that purportedly has an entire ep on the way being produced by livesay, featuring guest vocal appearances by polo road swag resident emcee twinn zeus and livesay himself. check out tantrum below, and feel free to throw one of your own. swag.
blue pineapple couches. they are rare phenomena indeed amongst the ever-evolving world of furniture. apparently they also provide pretty serious artistic inspiration in addition to their comfortable and visually appealing physique. apparently back in 2009, affiliate visual artist and bassist james matthew diffendal and affiliate multi-instrumentalist grant livesay (collectively often known as “the ticket”) used to perform in an indie-rock band sharing the title of these aforementioned antiquated and succulent sofas. apparently, they recorded several of these instrumentals in 2010. apparently, nothing happened to them in 2011. but, apparently they have been remastered for a special 2012 thowback release. download it here, or listen below. dig the davenport. ogle the ottoman. savor the settee. swag.
ever get lost in the music? meet hailey: music transports her to other realms, to other existences, and to anywhere else she may wish to visit. and, of course, she’s one of matt’s girls. check out the tune production duo the ticket composed for hailey below and, in the words of affiliate visual artist james matthew diffendal himself, “let it take you places.” swag.
zeus is back at it again for his fourth installment of weekly wednesday mixtape-style track releases. this time, he’s spitting over a beat by independent producer qwest. dig it? also, affiliate visual artist/the ticket bassist james matthew diffendal mentioned we should start calling this weekly event “twinn’s day,” as it sounds like twin and wednesday all meshed together. that is neither here nor there, but what is just above this random postulation is a dank new twinn zeus track. so check it, lovelies. swag.
that title had something to do with resuscitation and perhaps even provides an acceptably comedic stretch to this fresh, living and breathing instrumental album by polo road swag affiliate hip-hop production duo the ticket, aptly entitled “dead and expensive: the resuscitated and remastered 2010 sessions”. so, perhaps these tracks are quite so fresh in the grand scheme of all of existence in terms of age, but they certainly give a glimpse into bassist james matthew diffendal’s and mult-instrumentalist grant livesay’s respective lo-fi, electronic, trip-hop and pop pasts. and, they’re certainly swagged out. cop the album for free with a bonus track from our bandcamp page here, or check out the whole record below. swag.
