mp3: Pill Wonder "Restless" Underwater Peoples continues to infiltrate your playlists laid back ninjas. This time we get a hazy brew of steel drums, thrift store organs, and a pushy bass drum courtesy of Pill Wonder. The electrified violin (?) threatens to overwhelm the mix, but you're glad to be blinded by its brightness. The song parts ways with you before you get to know it. But it's a great 2 minutes nonetheless. It's nostalgic without being sticky, sentimental with being [...]

Tindersticks - "Peanuts (with Mary Margaret O'Hara)" The waves were so small. They were so small you could hardly feel them. As if it were July and we were at the lake, freshwater at our toes; but it was February and we were at the coast. The Pacific rested against the beach like a sheet of mottled glass. The breeze slept through my shirt like a woman's breath. This thought made me raise my face, made me look at you, and you laughed. Something in the salty air made you laugh. When it [...]
Underwater People are magic makers. I know little of them. They employ a man named Sawyer, who has recently been away in the steamy climes of Southeast Asia on some secret mission. They treat bloggers like a million bucks. And, most important of all, their stable of musicians is above and beyond the best out [...]
It's been a while since I've lost sleep in anticipation of Christmas Day goodies. As a kid, thoughts of the Transformers Dinobots and Legos were usually the culprit. This year: The Underwater Peoples Winter Review. Seriously, I ran to the computer and downloaded this before I even took a glimpse at any wrapped boxes. After some quality headphone time, we would like to share this awesome compilation over airwaves (um, internet airwaves) from cover to cover. Since our episodes are 16 tracks long (the comp being only 15), we thought it fitting to lead off with MJ's "Human [...]
![[Off My Radar] The Underwater Peoples Summertime Showcase](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2201745_lg.jpg)
[Ed. Note: A lot of music comes out in a given year. I'm busy, ok? I don't have all the time in the world to hear everything released and tell you about it. So I've decided to go back and visit all the great music that was, clearly, just off my radar.] This one is just 100 percent my bad. Underwater Peoples sent us their Summertime Showcase CD in, well, summer, and I just didn't get around to listening until, well, fall. Label this one: Fell Off And Then Jumped Back In A Big [...]
Just found this great new Pill Wonder vid shot by the always on top, Ray Conception . Thanks Microphone Memory Emotion .
Real Estate played a bunch of shows at CMJ last week, one being the Chocolate Bobka / Underwater Peoples / Two Syllable showcase at the Delancy (basement - grotty sweat box playing host to lo-fi bands/ upstairs - DJs playing mashups and Lady Gaga). They went on around 3am, after great sets by Holiday Shores, Pill Wonder , Frat Dad and some others. Everyone was pretty drunk and sweaty by this point, but they managed to play one of the best sets of the week, where [...]
While I'm on things Wild Animal Kingdom , Dana has also sent over some new tracks from the upcoming Pill Wonder Jungle/Surf tape. Not only will this see release on WAK, but Underwater Peoples will be releasing this on 123. These tracks are so humid, your living room will turn into a sauna. In about ten seconds. If you haven't heard PW's other jams, dude at Friendship Bracelet has what you need . The cassette pre-order is up and running . Sit tight for the vinyls. Pill [...]
Allez on rempile avec le directeur du zoo Mr Pill Wonder , ses animaux sauvages et autres pachydermes roses . Non, parce qu'il faut l'avouer, ceux qui se nichent localement sont bien moins exotiques... Comment il fait le tigre ? Grrrrrr .... Et le singe ? Ouuuuh Ouh Ouhhh. Et le perroquet vert ? Euh... Thanks and via Friendship Bracelet Yes ! Here we go again with the zoo director, Mr Pill Wonder , with his wild animals and [...]
While making my internet rounds the other day, I happened to see our Hold Yr Breath mixtape pinned up at one of our favorite record label's blogs . Underwater Peoples , that is. It was also good to see that the mix was in good company with a variety of other mixes from some of my favorite music watering holes . One of these mixes that particularly caught my eye was that of the Wild Animal Kingdom . Fathering many of my favorite artists that are now on Underwater Peeps [...]
Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't but there was no mixtape last week. Can't exactly tell you why, but all you need to know is that this week is completely different than last. Guess it's a good thing that this particular wrap up will include tracks from more than one week, right? Starts off fast and hard like punch in the face and ends up soft and smooth while the swelling subsides. Birthday Suits - It's About Time Lovvers- Ocd Go Go Girls Black Math - Part of [...]
Been digging on Pill Wonder ever since the rad Underwater People comp dropped earlier this year, up for download at Butter x Face. Just recently, Friendship Bracelet was able offer up some listenings that extended past the PW myspace page. "What We Know", is a sticky stroll through the rain forest after your buddies told you not to lick that tree frog. Head over to Friendship Bracelet for some more great Pill Wonder tunes. While your over there, make sure to join the club and grab his latest [...]
Pill Wonder - What We Know Some hypnotic summertime listening, channelling the sounds of the jungle with a lysergic edge. Pill Wonder (Will Murder, an unlikely name) is based in Seattle and recently came to attention via Underwater Peoples 's Summertime Showcase compilation of lovely lo-fi moments.
