Reposted w/ individual mp3s (in case you don't want the whole mix): Clif started the Something for Later mixes as an outlet for longer or more subdued musical pieces, and they were initially posted on the now defunct Paper Crane Collective blog site. I decided to take up the project but refocus on experimental rock, avant garde pop, freak folk, and electronic music. Volume 3 compiles track from the mostly the first half of 2011: Something for Later Vol. 3 - 2011 [click to download ZIP file] [...]

Erik Gundel, formerly of the band Motel Motel, has a new three song EP that can be heard here.
You may or may not have noticed that it has been A WHILE, since we last posted a Top Five Songs of the Week - it is not that we have not wanted to, it's simply that we've just been crazy busy. Also, we wanted to add that one of the many reasons we have not been blogging nearly as much is that Jose was been asked to do freelance writing, submitting a couple of articles per month for the very awesome, Ohio Authority . If you are not yet familiar with Ohio [...]
Ooh, interesting interesting. And really rather weird. Erik Gundel introduced himself to me as 'that guy from Motel Motel' and whilst I liked a lot of their songs, I find this vastly more intriguing. With this sort of strange stuff the sequencing is always crucial, and in this case it is executed really well. We're gently lulled in with a spot of unthreatening instrumentalism in the form of Turkulent Indigo. Then Birdy sort of hints at where the rest of the EP is going, but is still rather a tame version of the music language in which this [...]
When Motel Motel's Erik Gundel sent us an EP of material he'd recorded prior to hitching up with his current band (where he plays guitar and pedal steel), we had little doubt we'd probably enjoy it. We just didn't realize it would be so.....different. Trading in Motel Motel's terrestrial swagger and embrace of traditional Americana for a decidedly celestial and deliberate left turn, Gundel's solo EP - appropriately titled Gundel - is a rewardingly weird carousel of orchestral vamps, shimmering passages, moody dirges and so much more. To these ears recalling sounds from [...]
Erik Gundel who plays guitar and pedal steel in indie-folksters Motel Motel was kind enough to drop us a line recently with his first solo EP, titled EP Gundel.It is five tracks of what he describes as 'avant-pop" and as he says, "it doesn't sound much like the band, but I guess that's the point of solo projects."Our favourite track is called Birdy and is below. If you like it you can pick up the
LAKE - There's no shortage of boy/girl indie-pop bands. In fact, there's been such a saturation that recently that description is more likely to make me wary than excited. Still, some groups manage to rise above what have now become cliched aspects of a somewhat tired genre - LAKE is one of those bands. Led by singer/songwriters Eli Moore and Ashley Eriksson, LAKE has released a stunning new album entitled Let's Build a Roof , a sophisticated - yet melodic - set of intriguing pop songs. The tracks utilize various instrumental approaches while Moore and [...]
