Obsessions can be healthy, right? Maybe don’t answer that question… the latest that my ears can’t get enough of is the first solo output from Bedouin Soundclash’s Jay Malinoswki. He takes a much different angle than Bedouin’s upbeat, uplifting feel and brings it down for a more heart-pouring, somber (and somewhat folkish) album. A completely different side of Jay is exposed on this album as he taps into his struggles the past few years and dug into when he stepped away from personal evils and toward a fresh beginning, as he puts it he was reflecting on, ‘things he lost along the way’ – evidence in which is in his beautifully crafted lyrics. My favorite is a stunning and haunting ballad, Theres A Light, that I have been listening to on repeat since I first laid ears to it. Expect the video soon, following his first release, Santa Monica, as he's rumored to be fresh off the set in Iceland.
Bright Lights & Bruises is being released Feb 16 and Jay will also be stopping by MOD Club for Canadian Music Week on March 12 as part of his tour (he’s in Van March 18th). Expect big things.
