I don't mean to be a prude when I do this, but we all had favourite albums last year, you can't deny that, and I had too many. In fact, so many that I loved that it was difficult to decide between them all, and I had been reading endless 'trendy choice' end-of-year lists before the year had even gone out. So I thought I might deliver some kind of personal justice by posting one that people can sneer at all they want, but might actually pick out something they overlooked and think "Hey, I might actually try that now, [...]
Once November hits, every one enters an end of year stupor. The short work week before Thanksgiving suddenly becomes the longest three days of the year as you allow your mind to shut down and focus on some good time off. This attitude will likely continue until January 1, 2012, so at the very least, you should make sure you have some good music to soundtrack it. Here's our favorite songs from the month of November. Listen and download below. Hear the full stream: November Mixtape // Quit Mumbling DOWNLOAD INDIVIDUAL [...]
Waking up to intimate, bizarrely under-attended sessions from Nika Roza Danilova and Shara Worden betters most mornings, beneath grotty canvas in a field or otherwise and the pair are evidently more awake than most, chirpy and chirruping their separate ways through respectively spine-chilling and heartwarming slots.

Any peculiarity seems carefully constructed as drum kits are butchered and reconfigured in inverted formations, a dreamcatcher is caught on the neck of Tiffany Lamson's ukulele, and flute solos intervene momentarily. Like Dirty Projectors [...]
Orchestra of Spheres are, by the sounds of things, a jovial, experimental band. Trying to describe their sound is difficult -- similar artists that come to mind are Prince Rama, tUnE-yArDs, M.I.A., Sleigh Bells and Be Your Own Pet. If that sounds like a crazy mix then don't worry; it all culminates to result in the exciting, powerful force that is their debut, Nonagonic Now. Read more..
