Alfredo & Edeath, are a couple of music lovers who met later in life but grew up loving almost the same bands and hating others but always listening to music, old and new, and apart from collecting vinyl and books and going to see every good band coming to town, (or a few miles away), got together and created "I think i better follow you around", a website/music blog, where they share all the music they like and help promote upcoming concerts, local bands from San Diego and Tijuana and amazing artists from around the world.
I think I better follow you around is an independent project.

THOU shared this about the release: “Clearly, the “Thou” experiment is never going to appeal to audiences who demand that art rigorously enforce a coherent and righteous worldview.
And yet, are we not ourselves constrained by our own rigid morality? In those quiet moments of deep contemplation, when the bargains and concessions are thoroughly examined, when we yield before the Judging Eye–what is the summation of our choices? If the unspoiled self beyond the immensity of time were given voice, what pronouncements would be made? What would such an internal audit yield? What undeniable character would be revealed?
This record is for the radicals, the crackpots, the exiles who have escaped the wasteland of capitulation. This record is for the militants and zealots refusing to surrender to comforts, to practicalities, to thirty pieces of silver. And this record is most especially for the weaklings and malingerers, burdened by capricious indulgence, hunched by the deep wounds of compromise, shuffling in limp approximation, desperately reaching back towards integrity and conviction.”
Mvtant has shared the first single, “Voraphobes”, off his upcoming album “Electronic Body Horror” out May 3rd via Dream Recording.
TRACKLIST:
1. Disintegration 2. Pretty Flesh 3. Voraphobes 4. Kanashibari 5. Ultra Gash Inferno 6. In Dreams 7. Burst Boy 8. Trauma Bond 9. Mechaphilia 10. As My Body Is Decomposing
Joseph Anger shared this about the album: “‘Electronic Body Horror’ started as demos during the 2020 lockdown. Each song represents a different near death hallucination, and the album asks how much we store sensation, emotion, and memory in our flesh, and how much of that would be carried over if our body parts were transplanted into another person. Would they absorb our memories? Would we too have access to their memories? And If we die, what do we take with us and what do we leave behind?”
Kamasi Washington has shared the third single, “Dream State” featuring André 3000, off his upcoming album “Fearless Movement” out May 3rd via Young.
The video was directed by Kamasi’s sister Aubrinae Washington. Kamasi shared this about the song: “‘Dream State’ is a celebration of life and the opportunity it gives us to explore new possibilities. We created this song together instantaneously as we improvised off the music we made in the moment. It was such an honor to work on this song with one of my heroes, the great André 3000. And what an amazing experience André 3000, Brandon Coleman, Tony Austin, Mono/Poly and I had gliding freely through this world of sound not knowing where we would end up, but joyful in the journey itself.” André 3000 shared this about it: “When you receive a text from a wind friend something beautiful usually transpires. The day Kamasi invited me to a session for Fearless Movement I was so geeked and honored. Now, every time we get together something interesting happens. We first played during a recording session for New Blue Sun and it’s been fruitful ever since.”
La Luz have shared the second single, “Poppies”, off their upcoming album “News Of The Universe” out May 24th via Sub Pop.
Shana Cleveland shared this about the song: “‘Poppies’ is about the surreal feeling of going through the horror and isolation of a cancer diagnosis and treatment and then suddenly being out in the bright world again, trying to make sense of it all, feeling like I’m walking through a waking dream, seeing the first wildflowers come out and feeling a similar sense of rebirth.”
La Luz will be out on tour across the UK, Europe and most of the USofA starting in May up until November.
Violencia have shared the single “Cuerpo Dócil” off their album “Viviendo Tiempos Aún Más Oscuros” out now via Tormentas Records.
The video for the song was directed by Hugo Caro Olvera. He filmed the video while traveling with the band during a tour on the East Coast.
Violencia shared this, it could be applied to the album, as an ethos or even as a plea to everyone within earshot: “Yes, there’s always been something that is about to blow, in the act to counter back the social control system lies the challenge in destroying the cop that we each carry inside of us, hidden in our most deepest darkest of acts & thoughts, if there is something or someone to judge it has to be done in front of the mirror. Have you asked yourself yet if it’s them or us?”
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis have shared the track “A Song For Amy” off the soundtrack for “Back To Black”, the Amy Winehouse biopic.
The movie is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and it stars Marisa Abela as Amy. The movie, judging by the trailer(s) and we really hate talking bad about films, looks like it will be overshadowed by the score composers.
The director, Sam Taylor-Johnson, shared this about having Cave & Ellis composing the score: “Nick and Warren were the only musicians in my mind to score Back to Black. Over the years, I’ve listened to everything they’ve composed and longed to realize the dream of working together. Their sensibility as well as understanding of this story has led to a profoundly deep and moving film score.”
