Music Friyay: The Walker Brothers, Khruangbin, Shye Ben Tzur

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

The Walker Brothers - Nite Flight

Who doesn’t need a little more Scott Walker / Walker Brothers in your life? This 1978 album never gets old.

Khruangbin - Mordechai

The band just released a new album, and it’s a perfect sou psychedelic world. It transports you to another place and time entirely, and is perfect for reflective calm.

Shye Ben Tzur - Shoshan

Tzur’s 2010 album is a gift. As an Israeli musician who lives in India and Israel and composes qawwalis, instrumental and devotional music in Hebrew, Urdu and Hindi, as well as combining Sufi devotional music with western elements. His music itself is transformative, and his 2010 album isn’t to be forgotten.
