Bleeding Knees Club 1st January A duo make up of two dudes from Australia’s Gold Coast, the songs they make are unmistakably brash, but in a playful way, like a hateful puppy http://thepigeonpost.wordpress .com/2011/01/01/bleeding-knees -club/ Hourglass Sea January 4th The work of Dean Bentley, this is a project that sounds like Solar Bears being played on the wrong speed setting, a hyperactive mass of noise that doesn’t quite seem certain where it’s going. http://thepigeonpost.wordpress .com/2011/01/04/hourglass-sea/ [...]

Bite Marks From: The Ether We seek them here, we seek them there but we can find little trace of Bite Marks on the internet, apart from a Soundcloud site with three hypnotic tracks that simply ache with beauty and sorrow. There are a number of Bite Marks with an internet presence but none of them seem to be the one getting the blogosphere excited. Swarm [...]

Mancunian photographer/all-round-good-gu y Gareth Hacking got in touch to point out that, after discovering a flurry of pop star/cookery cross-over projects ( see post and subsequent comments ), the joker in the pack has been found in the form of Luke Haines, skewed pop star extraordinaire . Luke describes the making of his rabbit stew thusly: "I f you we're making this stew for Hawkwind (underrated), as opposed to just grooving to Hawkwind whilst you heat shit up, then it would be better if you used magic mushrooms. " Cooking for rock stars is a [...]

Bite Marks - Swarm New track from Bite Marks entitled Swarm . Download the track via soundcloud here.

http://soundcloud.com/bite-mar ks-1/swarm In my last Introducing piece I talked the increasing number of artists who are retaining their identity by shrouding themselves in mystery, add plus one to the list artists with the appearance of Bite Marks , I've absolutely no information about her/him/them other than the debut track "Swarm". A harsh synth loop, sparse guitar and drum machine beats backdrop a suffocated echoey vocal, it starts abrasive but as the song progresses turns more mysterious, with haunting, hazy glow. Impressive. SWARM by BITE MARKS

MP3: Bite Marks - Swarm Catching feelings right now over this new avant RnB-ish number from "Bite Marks". Heavy on enveloped yearning and mysteriously sensual feelings, there's a complexity at play here pairing elements such as opulent vibes with bedroom aethetics and lush pulses with sparse guitar echoes which beg for repeated listens. Really got no other info on the bro other than this his "first track" so consider this his blog debut(!) soundcloud

Let's face it; everyone makes music these days. Hell, even I've been known to have an occasional jam session now and then. So it's no surprise that amongst the scores of bedroom producers, it takes a truly inspired moment to leap out from the crowd, and this is exactly what this track from BITE MARKS does. Opening with a rather overly repetitive sample, it's not until the languid vocals enter that the track begins to lurch elegantly into life. The lo-fi undertones are strikingly coherent and effective, as the track twists between muffled vocals and violin like samples. [...]

Sometimes when beginning to listen to a new artist, it’s better to cut the bullshit and just listen. Regardless, context, or at the very least a story of some kind, goes a long way. With Ra Cailum I believe I struck the perfect balance. My only frame of reference was two pieces of writing from the man himself. The first was taken from Cailum ’s bandcamp: “I recorded this album from January - June 2011. The album is dedicated to Delia. This was her album before it was a Ra Cailum album. Every track on [...]
