7 is of course the seventh album by the Baltimore duo. They sonically remind me of Julie Cruise from the Twin Peaks soundtracks with vocals whispered sweetly in headphones in a Cocteau Twins ambient floor gaze haze. Slow grooves, synths and beats are punctuated with guitar twangs for good measure. Some of my favorite tracks are “Woo” and “Girl of the Year”.

Moog Werkstatt 01
The Moog Werkstatt-01 can be found for $200 or less. Introduced in 2014, it comes disassembled as a kit that just requires a screwdriver for assembly. The components pretty much just snap into the board without soldering. It is a patchable analog synth that can be sonically modified with jumper cables, a CV Expander, even an Arduino microprocessor. Small round buttons on the bottom row of the device act as a keyboard.
The Searchers- Aint That Just Like Me
Upon initial listen, you may ask what Beatles song is this. Also hailing from Liverpool, The Searchers were champions of the Merseybeat sound in the sixties. They had a Kevin Bacon-esque relationship with the Beatles when one of the drummers replaced Ringo in one of his previous bands. They named themselves after a 1956 John Wayne western.
