Olivier St. Louis: “Wondering Wanderer”

By: Jack Anderson

It’s been a dozen years since the release of his debut album, but D.C.-born, Berlin-based singer Olivier St. Louis still continues to outdo himself with his genre-spanning songwriting. Formerly under the moniker Olivier Daysoul, he now goes by Olivier St. Louis, and his rejuvenated talent has already earned him a ton of vocal features as well as touring spots alongside Laura Mvula and Oddisee.

You can anticipate a brand new track (and accompanying music video) in the next couple months and the rock, soul and funk-oozing debut LP from Olivier St. Louis in the first bit of 2019. Today you can add the inaugural single from Olivier St. Louis to your collection with “Wondering Wanderer”!

Zoë Pete Ford: “Tattoo City”

If Chess Club and the Broken Spoke had a sonic baby, it would be Zoë Pete Ford. Splitting time between New York and Austin, Ford says she only needs a car and guitar, and everywhere is home, which manifests beautifully in her cross-country sound, something I’m calling “punky tonk.” Her new album Tattoo City comes […]
