If the title isn’t enough to entice you (the full version is “Eating Ass 2020”), perhaps Wwoman‘s silky smooth vocals and light as a feather soundscapes will give you reason. As artist and musician g smee’s one-man project, wwoman delivers a well-thought out track for us to enjoy during social distancing. Admits the artist, “It’s a remake of the first track I ever recorded, ‘EA2020’ is a redemption track. A therapist once told me my problem is that I can’t settle for good when better exists.”
While many of us are spending more time with our own idiosyncrasies, he bares it all in his music. The lyrics are also strangely relatable right now, addressing loneliness like 2020 was made for it.
Just by yourself everyday
And you never wanted
And you never wanted
You never want it that way
Take the simplistic nature of the lyrics as you will, but we’re totally here for the vibes of the track. Thank you, Wwoman.

Thin Lear did a SXSW Takeover for us back in March, and then decided he was in for an encore during Cancelled Plans Music Festival 2020. We absolutely love this man, and are thrilled that he has shared his talents again. If you missed the performance, peep it below. Again and again and again.

Sharif Mekawy of Looms serenaded us in the early hours of Cancelled Plans Music Festival 2020 on April 17. We’re smitten, and think you will be too. If you haven’t seen it, check it out below. If you have, you know it’s time for a repeat.

Crowd favorites Scarves made us laugh and dance on Friday night during our Cancelled Plans Music Fest festivities. I got 8 different texts from friends and family about how delightful their particular set was, and I would concur. Catch it in all of its glory below, and don’t forget to tip them here!

A little after 2:40pm PST, talented songstress Jenny March graced our screens for Cancelled Plans Music Fest 2020. We know she was itching to play more, and we are still dying to see more… perhaps she will be willing to partner with us on a future project? 😉
Until then, here is her angelic voice! And feel free to tip her here.

We were joined by an artist with the most extraordinary – and borderline believable – backdrop. Sam Himself allowed us all a little space to pretend we were deep breathing in the mountains. The music wasn’t too bad, either. If you like what you hear, as always, please consider donating!
**Apologies for the modest screen shots that were taken as the cover photos for these features. We did what we could with what we had.

The first track from Fried Monk‘s upcoming Hurry Up and Wait release, “Welcome”, has a trippy music video to accompany the cacophony of syllables . Shot through the streets of Philadelphia in cold weather, the video brings attention to a few key points that we might not otherwise be focusing on right now.
Having been in self-induced quarantine for weeks at this point, this video really makes me feel a little strange from the get-go. It’s simply the artist walking the streets of a well-known American city. It shouldn’t bring more than a passing thought to my mind in its simplest form. However, I feel nostalgic, yet scared of the idea of being outside where people could be. Conflicting thoughts, however an exploration of a world outside of yourself. And that’s important right now. Add in some layering effects, and you’ve got a video we can all ponder on.

We haven’t really been addressing the pandemic at Imperfect Fifth, mostly because it has flipped every aspect of how we do things on its side. As fun and amazing as some experiences have been, some have been really, very difficult. Like staying inside during the entire month of April. And we know it’s the same for everyone, so venting about it hasn’t really been our shpeal.
The good news is, music doesn’t stop. And artists everywhere have stepped up and continued to offer gorgeous new hooks, beautiful lyrics, and a lot more soul this month. So let’s dive in… to inspiration, to erratic genre hopping and new things to keep our minds both occupied and at ease.
We love you. Take care of yourselves.
