Spend a lovely Sunday evening with quickly, quickly.
Portland, Oregon’s Graham Jonson started building his musical universe early: playing piano as a toddler, finding the music of J Dilla in fifth grade, and self-releasing singles by age 16. First appearing under the name quickly, quickly in 2017, his project’s profile has since grown fervently with fans in the ‘chill beats’-oriented corners of SoundCloud, YouTube, and Reddit. Showcased on the self-released quickly, quickly vol. 1 and developed further with 2018’s Paths (Radio Juicy) and Over Skies (Jakarta Records), his style as an electronic producer is smooth and hypnotic, fusing elements of jazz, hip hop, and R&B. Reference points range from the Stones Throw catalog to Bobby Hutcherson’s cosmic freeform to Lô Borges’ Brazilian bops. Jonson signed to Ghostly International in 2021, reinventing the project as a full-fledged songwriter, vocalist, and arranger, playing nearly everything from drums to keys and guitar, and of course electronics.
Hataałii
"At 21-years-old, Hataałii — the singer, songwriter, and poet born Hataałiinez Wheeler in Window Rock, AZ, the capital of Navajo Nation — arrived just in time to witness American collapse. Not a galvanizing, grand explosion of empire but a paralysis-inducing decay and alienation that infects the American body politic. Zealotry repurposed into a new cultural crusade every week. Reality-building and delusion affirmation masquerading as liberty. The show-horse ladder of success. Pandora’s Box purchased on credit, driving everyone mad in different ways, algorithmically determined to suit your unique neuroses.
It’s from this vantage point that Hataałii brings us Waiting For A Sign, a heady collection of ghost town anthems, short story mirages, and brain fog-clearing personal reckonings. At times it recalls the playfully languid puzzlement of Pavement’s Wowee Zowee, the trickster melancholy of Lou Reed’s The Blue Mask, the economical yet winking earnestness of Blaze Foley, or the softer Spacemen 3 songs that cast awe and mystery against a droning, endless atmosphere. But, as easy as the tempos can get, Hataałii operates with purpose: the obscurantist details come into focus, giving way to trenchant observations about paranoia, accountability, and post-colonial fallout..." - dangerbird records
