What? You’ve never heard an electric harp? Let's fix that with Dorothy Ashby’s funky, soulful, underappreciated album Afro-Harping (1968).

Japanese Funk and Soul That Will Brighten Up Your Day 🎵

My Analog Journal plays fantastic selections from enviable vinyl collections. The sound, video, and overall vibe on these videos makes for perfect summer listening.

Listening to Book of Silk by Tin Hat Trio. 🎵

This album feels like a silent movie score performed by an ensemble of artists playing strings, horns, and woodwinds in off-kilter chamber music compositions and arrangements. Perfect for reading horror.
