Joel Frieders

Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

Warbly Jets - Alive

Joel Frieders | February 3, 2017
SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA PLAY RHYTHM AIR GUITAR AND SQUEEZE MY BUTT CHEEKS UNTIL I ACHIEVE AN ERECTION FROM THE PRESSURE. ANYONE ELSE? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Warbly Jets sound like the band I'm in in my imagination, and because they sound a wee bit...

Bonobo - Migration

Joel Frieders | January 29, 2017
My relationship with Bonobo is long, personal, and often vaguely referenced when I'm trying to describe the music that resonates with me. Sometimes, when I'm looking for a single musical instance of what makes me feel happy, I reference what...

Palace - So Long Forever

Joel Frieders | January 29, 2017
The vocals in Palace belong to Leo. Fucking Leo. That fucker.  Leo Wyndham’s voice has always bothered me though.  It feels so fucking smooth and buttery, there is no possible way this dude isn't tossing his tonsils through an effects...

Joakim - Numb

Joel Frieders | January 25, 2017
I have no idea what I'm watching.  I have no idea why I've watched it three times in immediate succession and I've already burned the bass line into my psyche as being a perfect reminder that I need to watch Real Genius again asap. Joakim's...

Father John Misty - Pure Comedy

Joel Frieders | January 24, 2017
WHERE JOEL BEEN BRUH!??! Joel has been trodding through a horrible and crippling depression like a horse knee deep in mud for the last 5 weeks. Nothing sounds good. Nothing tastes good. Nothing works. I'm a fucking asshole with too many responsibilities and...

World Premiere: The Walking Tree - Here Again There Again

Joel Frieders | December 19, 2016
I went through a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE Matthew Sweet phase in the earlier half of my high school experience. It was all grunge, and ripped jeans at the knees, and ditch weed, and an unfounded obsession with the Marshall stack. Here I am twenty or something years...

Koresma - Sun Begins to Pour ft. Alaska Reid

Joel Frieders | December 15, 2016
It's -7F outside right now.  They say it feels like -17F, but I can't really tell bro. It's just fucking bone chilling. LOOK AT THESE ASSHOLES IN SHORT SLEEVES AND SUNDRESSES. I am fucking OFFENDED. Then again, I needed a steaming hot cup of Koresma...

Warpaint - New Song

Joel Frieders | December 13, 2016
Dude. Right around the 3 minute mark you hear what could be a completely different song begin to take shape. This is my thing with Warpaint. I think like I'm already in Warpaint and I haven't even been axed to be in the band...

Dillon & Paten Locke feat. Willie Evans Jr. - Previously

Joel Frieders | December 6, 2016
The beat on this track is the exact tempo of how I saunter when I walk with a hand on my chest. I take a huge step with my right leg, and then drag the left one up behind me. I'm on beat, I'm on point, I'm by myself and the fuckin' coolest goober in the room...

Zavala - Roosevelt & Letting Go

Joel Frieders | December 1, 2016
I have no idea how a dude can drop a dance tune and make a grown man tear up like a drooling cooze, but again, Zavala does it. I've spent the last few years wondering why his music makes me feel so fulfilled, and while I still can't explain...
