Day Soul Exquisite - clair des antilles a 2023 single on La fem records. While the pandemic was obviously a long and fraught-filled time, the bands formed and sowing their seeds during the first two most difficult years are now blossoming. Seattle-based sextet Day Soul Exquisite are one of those bands. Fronted by singer Francesca Eluhu, the group makes Latin American and French Caribbean-fused neo-soul that fits into a variety of arenas, all of which make you want to shimmy. While they've only released a string of singles since their 2021 formation, they've been mesmerizing audiences on stages and at festivals like Capitol Hill Block Party, Folklife, Barboza, The Sunset Tavern, So Dreamy Festival and more.like  Our Song of the Day is the early 2023 single, “clair des antilles,” which starts with a French spoken-word introduction and bursts into a dynamic jazzy production that's a wistful ode to the French Caribbean. Eluhu describes the meaning behind the song as this: “My family is from Guadeloupe and I wrote these lyrics while reflecting on how leaning into nature can cleanse the mind of colonial rhetoric disguised as intrusive thoughts. The second verse acknowledges imperialism and calls for a redistribution of wealth: “Hear what they call me? Savage like a pirate…let me follow my instincts and I'll take back a piece of what the white man stole baby.” Bob Marley's lyrics, “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds,” is one direct influence that summarizes the message of self love in the song.” Catch Day Soul Exquisite at Timber Fest on Friday, July 28, get a sneak peek at their live stage show with a VHS-style recording of their performance at 2022's So Dreamy Festival, and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

In April, Chaz Bear dropped the seventh studio album from his constantly evolving project Toro y Moi titled Mahal. One of his jammier records, Mahal veers heavily towards psych-funk and features a hefty list of contributors including Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Ruban Neilson, Neon Indian's Alan Palomo, visual artist and musician Sofie Royer, and jazz duo the Mattson 2. Our Song of the Day is the breezy track and early single “The Loop.” Led by a funky bassline and a meandering guitar, the song slowly ambles while Bear mellowly muses on the trappings of modern life in the digital age where it's imperative to stay up to date. “East Coast friends fill me in, I know you get the early scoop,” Bear croons. “Online trends that border cringe start to feel overused." The video for the song follows Bear and his friends over the course of a pretty incredible day in San Francisco where the squad skateboards, rolls through the streets in go-carts and jeepneys, and has one heck of a meal at FOB Kitchen in Oakland. Watch the video below and catch Toro y Moi on Saturday, July 23rd at Capitol Hill Block Party. Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first panel covered the topics of possible strategies of band management. Moderated by Kelly Fleek Panelists included: Megan Jasper — Larger record label “Sub Pop” Ben Jenkins —Small-sized record label “Killroom Records” Abbie Gobeli —KEXP Radio Station DJ, and manager for the band “Actors” Shannon Hemmett — From the band “Actors” Q: What makes a band “Label Ready?” Talent A willingness to put in the work Taking yourself seriously as a band and as a business Have music that resonates with your audience Believe in what you do and make it meaningful "LLC Factor" Experience doesn't play a big role in their decision-making process. Jasper brought up the example of the artist Yuno, who is now under the Sub Pop record label. She talked about his inexperience with the music industry, but because he had a special sound, was very talented, and is incredibly driven, the record label had no qualms with taking a chance on him. Q: What are labels looking for today? Same as always, great art and great people to work with. Many things are changing in the music industry, that is not one of them. There are many ways to get your music out to the masses, DIY or with a label, one thing remains the same, great music will always be great music. Q: Is it important to live in a city of music? No Whatever location you live in provides a special foundation of experiences that foster your own unique sound, giving you a unique perspective to draw from, leading to new music. Living in a music city might be overwhelming for some because it creates a high-pressure environment from the need to stand out amongst a gaggle of other talented and driven musicians, just like you. That being said, sometimes it is important to move to gain new perspectives, and to grow. It doesn’t matter where, as long as you feel comfortable and are able to express yourself creatively. Touring, on the other hands, is much more important if you want to be seen. Q: Is it necessary to rub elbows with everyone? The panelist agreed that it is NOT necessary to go around collecting the names of people that you are in bed with, but they also mentioned that having friends in the industry is always helpful. If networking is not your cup of tea, remember these words, “Great art always finds a way!” Some tips on networking Connect and collaborate Build friendships with bands in other cities Help and support each other Before heading off stage, some ideas the panelists left us with are as follows: You band label is a marriage, it is important to set healthy boundaries, honesty and communication is key. Genres are not very important right now, Spotify is even talking about creating a new way to get music discovered that would help artists that are in-between genres. Focus on writing and playing good music! The job of a label is to help push bands to the next level, strategize and execute new ideas to reach greater audiences, and ultimately, create profits for both the band and themselves. Touring is CRUCIAL, tour as much as possible for your situation. If there is a label that speaks to you, don’t hesitate to send them a demo, they will listen to it eventually. Get your music out there! People always forgive a bad recording of a great song. Record it to your best ability or budget, and get it out!

The second panel took place right a short break and covered the topic of mental health at home and on the road. Moderated by Kelly Fleek Panelists included: Evie Cooke —KEXP Andrew Vait —Sisters, Little Wins Daniel Lyon —Spirit Award Whitney Monge' —Whitney Monge', PNW Chapter Recording Academy/Grammy's Board of Directors Jordan Leonard —PNW Chapter Recording Academy/Grammy's Q: What strategies do you use to push yourself past the hardships? Trying to maintain balance Physical exertion, running working out, stretching Get enough sleep Listen to yourself Talk to your friends, connect with people Forgive yourself for feeling bad, accept where you are and allow it to run its course Positive self talk Doing things that align with your purpose Doing nothing is still doing something Your body knows what you need when you need it, listen. Learn to say NO Mental health, just like physical health, is an active lifestyle. You must create an environment that supports a healthy mindset, through healthy boundaries and healthy outlets for your body and mind to grow. The best thing to focus on is always on preventative measures like showing up for yourself and knowing when your batteries are drained and need a recharge. Taking care of yourself is always priority number one! Q: What do you do on the road? Take time for yourself Have quiet time/personal time Accepting the fact that everything won’t go perfect, and going with the flow Remind yourself that the audience doesn’t know what is or isn’t “right” so go easy on yourself if you do make a mistake. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to express yourself in front of an audience, just remember “I am enough!” Remembering to have alone time and make sure that you are showing up to every gig or interaction with a balanced state of mind. Being stuck in a tight van, or just being away from family or home for long periods of time might make you feel disconnected. Remember the tools you use to stay grounded when you are not on tour and make sure to implement them as much as you can. Sometimes silence is all you may need. Resources for outreach Therapy MusiCares MusiCares is a charity that has provided more than $60 million in health, financial, and rehabilitation resources to music people in times of need. Send Me A Friend.org SMAF is a national network of “sober friends” that are on call to come to a show and offer a helping hand and source of support for struggling musicians.   *Special thanks to The Rivetter to housing this special event
