A TAV Curator’s Pick.
The first physical release of Mayer's 2016 digital EP, pressed on luminescent aquamarine vinyl. – Press Release
“Hawthorne sticks to the classic throwback sound that has become the backbone of his own sound since he first arrived on the scene back in 2009. Whereas his earlier releases leaned more towards '80s soul-pop, this EP picks up where Man About Town … left off. Filled with lush strings and full arrangements, Mayer also sticks to seemingly his favorite topic, love lost and found.
Things get off to a smooth start with the '80s-R&B-styled "Someone Like You" before dipping into the doo-wop sounds of yesteryear on "A New Love." He completes the trio of new material by zipping back to the funky sounds of disco on "A Time for Love." The instrumentals of these songs present the opportunity to just take in the beauty found in the music itself. Gone are the days when EPs consisted of just throwaway material that didn't make the cut for an album; now music fans can expect high-quality, original material just as he presents here. Not many artists can bring listeners on a trip through different musical eras, but Hawthorne does it effortlessly, laying the foundation for what could hopefully be another full release in the near future.” – Soul Bounce

A Tribe Called Quest – The Anthology
Sold out
Visit product page →A TAV Curator's Pick.
The Anthology is A Tribe Called Quest's 1999 greatest hits compilation spanning their entire career.
The compilation contains songs from all of their currently existing full-length catalogue, including People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, The Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders, Beats, Rhymes and Life and The Love Movement. It also contains Q-Tip's "Vivrant Thing", which was featured on the first music compilation for Violator Management. The song would also later be featured on Q-Tip's solo effort, Amplified.
The album cover features Erykah Badu with fluorescent stripes of green and orange reminiscent of the traditional colors of the Kente tribe of the north Congo.
“For those who haven't discovered that A Tribe Called Quest made several of the best LPs in hip-hop history, Anthology is a perfect way to encapsulate the trio's decade-long career into one manageable portion. All of their best and biggest songs are here, from the early neglected joint "Luck of Lucien" to classic jazz-rap from The Low End Theory like "Jazz (We've Got)," and their 45-rpm peak with "Award Tour," all the way to their last big hit, "Find a Way," from 1998's The Love Movement. Yes, anyone who enjoys hip-hop needs to own at least Midnight Marauders and The Low End Theory, but Anthology succeeds in delivering all the highest points from a great hip-hop group's career. The collection also includes the first solo track from Q-Tip, 1999's "Vivrant Thing." – AllMusic

Air – Twentyears [Compilation]
Sold out
Visit product page →A TAV Curator's Pick.
Twentyears is a compilation album by Air, consisting of French duo Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, released in 2016, twenty years after their international debut.
The anthology includes one LP of the duo's hits, plus another LP comprising 14 rare or unreleased cuts. Selections include classics like "Sexy Boy" and "Kelly Watch The Stars," as well as lesser-known collaborations with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jarvis Cocker and Françoise Hardy, plus recordings of radio performances on BBC and KCRW.
“Twentyears does exactly what a compilation needs to; it shows how Air are arguably one of the last great singles bands, but by delving beyond the hits we are presented with an abbreviated version of a back catalogue of panache and flair. Always engaging, always different, but always Air.” - The Line of Best Fit
“As laid-back as it is, a track like opener “La Femme D’Argent,” from Air’s 1998 debut full-length Moon Safari, shimmies quite a bit—but in a totally nonchalant, debonair manner. The cool-strutting bass line paves the path as jazzy, improv-sounding piano flutters around and alien-noise squiggles slice into the synth breeze.
Pop-electronica big hits like “Playground Love” and “Sexy Boy” anchor the compilation, but the secondary and tertiary singles make the album move. An instrumental like “Alpha Beta Gaga,” from 2004’s Talkie Walkie, ratchets intensity in a way that’s both uplifting and cathartic.” - AV Club
