music from my hometown

[jinian]

I love KEXP. I heard music from my hometown the other day: Lemolo (same name as a beach area in Poulsbo, among other things). Layered and ethereal harmonies, sometimes moody, just my kind of thing. It's not immediately obvious how the music fits the "wild/untamed" meaning of the word in Chinook jargon, but actually it does match my experience of the wild places there. (And I'm pretty sure I knew a relative of one of the musicians in high school.)

In other music news, I'm also loving Grimes. Ethereal vocals plus techno, go figure.
