Wearing the self-described genre tag of “slap n’ soul,” Curtis Harding brings a wide range of influences into his soulful rock n’ roll sound. Troy Nelson connects the dots of his journey, from his early days in the church to Atlanta’s hip-hop scene and then playing rock n’ roll in Toronto until Harding found his unique sound. Find out how Cee Lo Green, Dangermouse, and Sam Cohen play a part in Harding’s path to If Words Were Flowers on this week’s episode of Live on KEXP.

On the show this time, Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul slap some bass and get downright funky. 

Cultural appropriation and racism. Social media vanity. Post-colonialism and political correctness. These are not talking points that you’d ordinarily hear on the dancefloor but Charlotte and Bolis have ripped up the rulebook with their debut record. All four songs from this set come from the album, which came out earlier this year on Deewee Records. It’s called “Topical Dancer”—and that’s not a typo. The album is as danceable as it is topical. KEXP DJ Larry Mizell Jr. put it this way: Adigery and Pupul “deal with colonialism and race with unsparing wit.
Blenda
Making Sense Stop
Haha
Ceci n’est pas un cliché

On the show this time, we replay our vaguely holiday-themed traditional episode - the dual-drum druid jazz of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The Melbourne, Australia based psych-rockers released five albums in 2017, and played at the KEXP studios in support of the releases: “Polygondwanaland” and “Gumboot Soup."
