Rock bands with mixtapes: It's almost too perfect of an idea, like rock bands with hypemen, and it's amazing that it doesn't happen more often. Actually, it pretty much never happens. Hypemen are rare, too, but there's at least a historical precedent: Guys like the Happy Mondays' Bez, Avail's Beau Beau, and that one guy from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones made a case that bands could support a guy who just dances and doesn't actually do anything otherwise. But mixtapes? I'm probably forgetting something, but up until now, the only rock band I can name with [...]

One of my favorite Brooklyn bands, Small Black , have always dealt in pseudo-sluggish, druggy, atmospheric dance-pop. The type of electro-pop tunes that are best busted out amidst the beautiful slop of a sweaty, drunken dance party that has just begun its hilarious descent into late night, drug-induced high jinks. But the band's newest release, Moon Killer Mixtape , is a slight departure from the youthful exuberance of their breakthrough EP and their more intricate but equally compelling and energetic follow-up, New Chain . That is to [...]

Small Black fans, recall that eleven is Josh's favorite number. Well, today marks 11/11/11, and we should celebrate not because it is Friday or the 11th full moon of the year but because MOON KILLER is now available. This mixtape is absolutely free, and includes a track with Heems of Das Racist as well as a remix by Star Slinger . Spoiler alert!- there is also a surprise mix of the foxy Nicki Minaj in one of the eleven songs. Download MOON KILLER on their site, SmallBlack.com or [...]

Today is 11/11/11 as I'm sure you know, and the celebrate, Brooklyn electronic quartet Small Black are releasing a free mixtape called Moon Killer . The word "mixtape" undersells it a bit in my eyes since these are all great songs and feature the likes of Heems from Das Racist, and sample the likes of Nicki Minaj. And, hell, it's free, there's absolutely no reason for you not to download it. Well, you can stream it first and see if you like it before you keep it. Check it out below. [...]

Numerologist and palindromist are already having themselves a hell of a day, but us music junkies have something to get excited about, as well. Brooklyn-based sampling synth-pop quartet Small Black have just released their new mixtape, Moon Killer . With sources ranging from Nas to The Carpenters, Nicki Minaji to Pere Ubu, remixes by Phonetag and Star Slinger, and two guest-spots from Das Racist's Heems, the tape should be more than enough to hold you over until the band's sophomore album, due out spring 2012. Stream and/or download the whole thing below. [...]

It's so awesome of the band to just give away a brand new mixtape featuring TEN new songs. You can stream it or download it all below. Thanks Small Black! MOON KILLER MIXTAPE by Small Black

Aside from a fly set of eyebrows, b3sci favs Small Black have something else in common with Drakkard Noir. Both fuck with Nicki Minaj . Here the SB boys go legit on that Nicki R&B #1 adding the band's signature harmonies and "other stuff" to create one cool ass jam. Look out for the "MOON KILLER" mixtape, due 11/11/11.

Looks like Small Black will continue to be a dominating force in my winter listening. The band dropped the synthed out "Loves Not Enough" featuring sampling from Nicki Minaj's "Your Love" . The track will be apart of their MOON KILLER MIXTAPE which drops Friday. MP3 // LOVES NOT ENOUGH
A random YouTube user uploaded this self made video for Small Black's new song "Moon Killer" with the note that it was "edited for the enjoyment of my wife and family". That was the plan until the band took notice this morning and posted it on twitter. The band's new mixtape of the same name drops this Friday. MP3 // MOON KILLER

Fthrsn - Hysteria The languid, heavy pop music of Fthrsn ('Father Son') has been a regular fixture on the TMW playlist of late; title song 'Hysteria' in particular, feels like one I've know my entire life (in a good way). Beats are steady and the melody gauzed and dulled very slightly, the rigid shoegaze fuzz which characterises much of Fthrsn's sound warranting foremost comparisons to Small Black . Sources inform us that a Sun Glitters collaboration might be on the cards from them in the near future. For now, download six [...]
