Great Time’s music is a kaleidoscopic soundscape inspired by the best of Nirvana, Sufjan Stevens, Little Dragons, and guaranteed to make you dance.


Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid m.A.A.d City (2012)

The best Kendrick album for sure. He's one of the greatest lyricist and artists of our time.





Frank Ocean - nostalgia, ULTRA (2011)

Frank was still unknown at this point and he took a bunch of songs that already existed and made it his own vibe. Rad.




Little Dragon - Nabuma Rubberband (2014)

Love all of Little Dragon's stuff but of the last decade - this one was on repeat. The perfect mix of dancy, epic, groovy, driving & silky. 



Hiatus Kaiyote - Tawk Tomahawk (2012)

In college we all listened to this album a ton and really admire the songwriting, lyricism, and Nai's timbre of voice. 

 



Robert Glasper - Black Radio (2012)

Another record we listened to a ton in college. Incredible musicians featured and so many different genres and vibes in one album - a concept that we definitely relate to.
