Mp3: Airstream

stream:
about: Victor Scott’s album is far and away the best album I’ve listened in the year so far and I am continually finding songs that really suit my mood. This one suits at this bottom. Airstream is a mismatch, a funky reminisce of peoples lives that you into once in a while. It’s an album of such variety, and entertainment come rain or shine.
Buy: His album “Happy Days“. It’s really cheap, available for download and it comes with a free b-sides album (which is full enigmatic, electic, original tunes. Who’s need shuffle when you’ve got two Victor Scott albums?!)
