Spirit Sisters | Ratchet I received an email yesterday from the mysterious Spirit Sisters telling me that “ this one doesn’t sound much like Spirit Sisters ” and while there are glimpses of a new direction - hip hop samples, more emphasis on minimalism - the vital ingredients remain. This is music for the soul, as the motto goes. Nothing but a rush of vitality and euphoria combined. It cannot be stopped and it’ll always line the seams of every Spirit Sisters song. As good as ‘Up’ ? Perhaps. [...]
How The Mind Works Here are some thoughts I find worth remembering… 1. Think good and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You are what you think all day long. Polographia - Sunsets (Knxwledge Remix) 2. Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, “I can’t afford it,” your subconscious works to make it true. Select a better though. Decree, “I’ll [...]
La muy sabida afinidad que tengo por los sonidos psicodélicos, sintetizados y sampleados, se ve una vez más, plasmada aquí. Ocho canciones de lo más selecto de mi biblioteca musical (o al menos algo de lo que más me gusta, porque mi excentricidad declara que toda ella es excelente), dispuestas a ser mostradas a todos ustedes con el fin de compartir un poco más de los sonidos que construyen mis días, e incluso llegan a escucharse de fondo en algunas ocasiones de mi vida. A decir verdad, me resultó un poco complicado ligar todos los géneros que acapara mi curioso [...]
So...okay, I've been noticeably dry over the past few days --- a mixture of work and flu-like symptoms blanketing my life in a general coat of grey. Add to that the miserable weather outside... Listen At BIRP!
Spirit Sisters - Up Here’s a fairly new project called Spirit Sisters out of Ann Arbor, MI that first turned up on my radar when they started... (Visit my blog for more!)
Awesome new track from dream-wave entity Spirit Sisters with "Up". The craftsmen of one word instrumentals put together 3:23 of pleasantry with this one, save it for bed time. Download: "Up" SPIRIT SISTERS | FACEBOOK | TWITTER [via]

Every so often, Jamie or Gareth (or both) will be filling you in on the happenings and movings of almost every new band prompting our interest.

This Wednesday, you’ll also be able to hear a new MFM Podcast , featuring a few tracks we’ve kept schtum on in the feature below. —————————— —————————— ———— [...]
Spirit Sisters : Up Both of MFM have spent the past week or so hitching around America, seeing all there is to see before returning to face days of jet-lag. ‘Up’ seems like that wake up call I’ve just been begging for. ‘ He ’ was the most gracious and glistening of songs and it left us floored; ‘ Up ’ gives us that helping hand back onto Earth. It continues Spirit Sisters ’ rise from producing Balam Acab-indebted electronica, without the slightest of imperfections. [ JM ] [...]
Once something causes a total system shock, it's normally quite hard to actually process it. More often than not, there's a building, gradual and subtle act to overcome this change and a feeling of sour melancholy can often persist. It's this feeling of inevitable change and development that I feel Spirit Sisters' "Up" brings to the fore, a track so on the cusp of positivity, it's hard not to break a nervous smile whilst listening. That, and the fact that everything can only ever go up from here. STREAM/DOWNLOAD : Spirit Sisters - "Up" [...]
Amidst all of the chaos surrounding Hurricane Irene’s voyage up the east coast, there’s a lot of talk about survival kits. But all of the disaster officials have forgotten one thing: really good music. Luckily, we made a mixtape to get you east coasters (well, everyone else, too) through this weekend. It’s just fun enough to distract you from the rain, just serious enough to keep you grounded (fingers crossed). And there are 13 songs. So board up your windows, gather your canned goods, and put this playlist on repeat for the next few days. After all, there’s [...]
It is with a great sense of excitement and anticipation that I take over the reins of Cloud Corner. Hector leaves a fantastic archive of talented artists and bands, all of which have no doubt benefited from their moment in the glare of avid Cloud Corner followers. Cloud Corner has always been an invaluable source for new music, and I’m glad to say this week is no different. Long may it continue! For those who haven’t strayed upon this page before, Cloud Corner is our look at the best new music sent into us via Soundcloud. The [...]
It seems as though a lot of new and talented musicians are coming from Ann Arbor, Michigan nowadays. Spirit Sisters , a brand new project, is definitely one of them. SS brings us a pair of songs that are meant to compliment each other. "He" and "She" are both very pop-driven tracks that experiment with a wide array of intricate sounds and textures. Make sure to get those headphones ready.
The latest in cool concepts comes from Spirit Sisters. The following tracks function as a cohesive piece, sibling songs if you will, born out of Ann Arbor, MI. One of the Soundcloud comments for "He" was "My summer, in audio format" which is as accurate as it is a beautiful description. And "She" comments well in fluorescent fashion with her snappy snare drum and attention-grabbing breath sample. Both ethereal and relaxing yet thought-provoking and as most siblings are... mellifluously complex. He by Spirit Sisters [...]
Sometimes you get a bit squashed; thrown to the wall with tasks and commitments - too many to handle. Such has been the last two weeks for me, where I’ve had little time to post, let alone put effort into a podcast, hence the wait for MFM017 .This Turning Torso single is one I’ve been meaning to talk about in some form for the past few days; its frantic onslaught of jazzy guitar sections remind me of the hustle and bustle of the London underground, the rush through the ticket barriers, the pace with [...]
Ann Harbour seems to be a gold mind for us music lovers there is such amazing talent that is pouring out of that city. From the likes of Kohwi & Chrome Sparks and now Spirit Sisters. Check out these two beautiful tracks and there accompanying visuals below. He by Spirit Sisters Download She by Spirit Sisters [...]

flashlighttagmusic Spirit Sisters : He It’s a title which reminds me, somewhat unfortunately, of a very notorious piece of writing on the Drowned In Sound website (those who keep in check with the site’s online community will know what I’m talking about). He. An accompanying piece for the dramatic, string-swept ‘She ’, this track locks arms with its sibling in an act of instinct. Female vocals, as the title may suggest, are replaced with male ones; equally as delicate; equally as integral to the [...]
I have compiled a small library of tracks over the past few weeks of me not posting so since it would take me a long time to post them all individually I decided to make a music round up.
