Free music: new Hilang Child!

Back in January, I wrote about Hilang Child's debut EP. It remains one of my favorite EPs (along with Hayden Calnin's City EP) that I've heard in quite some time. It's not currently available to buy or download, but I've been told an updated version should be available in a month or two. Fortunately though, Ed Riman's project Hilang Child is back with two brand new tracks to whet our appetites for a while longer. You can stream them below and download them free via the widget.

Again the songs are gorgeous compositions having an ethereal quality that is perfect for headphones and a repeat button. In both songs, Riman's voice seems to just float somewhere above the instrumentation. "Gold Isle" is a bit more layered with sounds while "Green Arrow" remains sparser focusing mostly on the piano. Regardless, they are both excellent additions to last year's outstanding EP. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for future developments for sure.

When you're done downloading these two tracks, go head over and like his Facebook page to be reminded of future releases. It's ridiculous that he only has 200 likes.

Otis Redding's Birthday

The King of Soul, Otis Redding, would have turned 72 today if he were still alive. Unfortunately, he tragically died at the age of 26, but he put out a quantity and quality of music that few can aspire to. To celebrate his life and the music that he did release, here are a couple songs of his to enjoy.





If you don't have any Otis in your collection, you can pick up the CD of "Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul" for only $4.99 on Amazon right now.
