Electronic, experimental synth pop duo Javelin reimagines a track that didn't make it onto the new Future Islands album. Lyrics weren't completed in time, I hear . Look for Future Islands' On the Water on Thrill Jockey.

![[Listen] Future Islands: "Crish" (Javelin Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3823032_lg.jpg)
Cuando una cancion dice maravillas por si sola, muchas veces me da 'miedo' escuchar las nuevas versiones que decidan hacer los mismos integrantes de la banda o lo que en muchas ocasiones resulta peor, otros proyectos. Digo, hay una enorme cantidad de remixes que he disfrutado bastante pero esto se los decia ya que muchas veces se altera demasiado la escencia original de la melodia, el momento y la calidez en la que fue grabada pero claro, esto tambien vendria pasando a segundo plano si lo que les estoy diciendo les parece una verdadera exageracion. Pero bueno, como bien saben [...]
For those of you who live in Indy, how great has the music been in this town over the last few weeks? I'm having issues with my camera's memory card which, thanks to a little help from Amazon I think it should be resolved mid next week. I can't believe the last time I posted [...]

photos by David Andrako Hot, packed and dancing on Friday, New York's Terminal 5 was a scene rarely seen, in which nearly everyone in attendance was engaged and enthusiastic, their pretensions left at the curb. With Fredrik Källgren Wallin and Håkan Wirenstrand making melodies on either side of the stage and Erik Bodin hemmed in behind the raised drum kit, the job of crowd engagement rested squarely with Yukimi Nagano, and she carried its weight effortlessly. Barefoot and at ease onstage, flitting between impassioned and lackadaisical, [...]

Future Islands, with Ed Schrader's Music Beat and Javelin / Mr. Small's / 10.26.2011 / 8:00 / $12 Words by Brendan A Future Islands show is as much about theatre as it is music. I'm not saying they stage mini plays or anything like that, but there's definitely a heavy aura of artistic performance associated with their stage presence. In particular, singer Samuel Herring jumps around, pounds his chest, glares at the crowd, shouts to the heavens ... It's fucking powerful, I assure you. You have [...]

After doing the Check Yo' Ponytail 2 thing over the summer, Brooklyn's Javelin is looking to keep their name and recent album, Canyon Candy , out there. The duo of synth-enthusiasts will hit the road with Future Islands , who just so happen to be one of our favorites here at Prefix. They'll be touring together for a week toward the end of this month and the beginning of November. Before that, though, Javelin is taking part in what should be a killer show with Little Dragon and Questlove on Oct. 14 [...]

It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix.

You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble ) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR you [...]

We're very excited and honored to be presenting this mixtape by one of our favorite musicians, the wonder that is Datahowler . He's crafted this one in honor of the heatwave/drought that Texas experienced this summer from which they are just now recovering. In his own original work he draws from a myriad of influences, so it's only fitting that this would be an eclectic bundle of joy. More than just a mix, it's an explorative journey of sound. Stream it through his bandcamp here, or grab the .zip of mp3s . He's also [...]
![[Listen] Papercranes: "Dust Season" (Javelin Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3731098_lg.jpg)
"Let's Make Babies In The Woods" es el titulo del mas reciente material de este proyecto de Rain Phoenix el cual fue uno de los primeritos que pudimos escuchar en este 2011 ya que salio en el mes de Enero a traves de Manimal Vinyl y esta bastante bueno al igual que este remix que le acaba de hacer Javelin a uno de los tracks incluidos en este material: "Dust Season". Si nunca antes han escuchado algo de Papercranes ni mucho menos lo que ha hecho Javelin, seguramente con este remix se veran interesados por ambos y en [...]

Substitute Teachers is our (semi)regular mix series, where we let go of the reins for once, and allow someone else to teach you a thing or two about music. This episode is brought to you by Akutou , a designer and all-around badass. I was instructed by a trusted friend to listen to his Fiesta de Go! mix a few months ago, and I never looked back. He's crafted this magnificent mix for us entitled SWARMTH, and there isn't much to say except we highly recommend you press play and let it [...]

I found this on the BIRP! website a couple of days ago and it has been played pretty much on rotation since then. The songs are all good, although my favourite has to be the Javelin track. The fact that this mix is well over a year old and I've only just discovered it is an oversight. Sorry. If you like it then be sure to head over to the website and look for his other mixes. There are [...]
