Horse Head // Jewelry My own personal Tan Dollar boom isn’t completely over yet, so frontman Chris Thorne unwittingly capitalized on that by shooting over the latest EP from his other project Horse Head . He sent me the EP a few days ago and I’ve had chance to really dig into what he’s doing here. As far as style goes, the EP is a cool switch from Tan Dollar that sees much of the thick guitar work being dropped to make room for synths and drum machines. This is [...]

Tan Dollar // Diary of Our Journey to the Netherlands I wasn’t really familiar with Tan Dollar when I downloaded this EP. In fact, I don’t even really remember downloading it in the first place, but there it was in my recently added folder in iTunes. So I listened, and I liked. I like a lot, actually. So I reached out to the very friendly frontman Chris Thorne via Twitter and then later e-mail and he gave me the scoop on this dreamy pop band from Tustin, California. For being a relatively [...]

You can stream (and scrobble ) all the songs in this mix using the ex.fm player at the bottom of the page OR you can just download any or all of the tracks at your leisure and play them using a digital media player of your choice.

Con un título que, debo decir, me encantó desde que leí, Tan Dollar se vuelve a hacer presente -musicalmente hablando- para este 2012 con su EP de nombre Diary of Our Journey to the Netherlands . Fresco material para quienes esperaban desde el pasado mes de julio (cuando salió también su gratuito release llamado Cursed ) algo nuevo por parte de Chris Thorne. Entre él y sus compañeros musicales (Jon Skehan, Ilya Sandomirsky y Mike Skehan) amarran y [...]

Para todos aquéllos, chicos y chicas, que no pueden seguirnos diario, no con todas las noticias musicales que nacen a cada segundo, presentamos con orgullo nuestro sexto compilado: un mixtape gratuito que reúne lo que para nosotros fue lo más destacable en estos últimos meses en la escena emergente y algunas novedades que no pudimos postear en el camino.

Es bueno despertar y tener un pretexto para escuchar parte del Cursed EP que saliera de parte de la banda que lidera Chris Thorne hace poco menos de cinco meses. Bien podría ser el mejor que he escuchado de lo-fi/garage pop en el transcurso de este año, ustedes ya lo verán el 13 de septiembre. Por ahora disfruten de este visual que fue creado por el llamado The Tearist : personaje que describe parte de su hobbie como el hecho de hacer "movie trash collage". [...]
Tan Dollar — Untitled From Cursed , out now on bandcamp

Enregistré par le désormais quatuor Tan Dollar il y a tout juste plus de quinze jours, produit par leur soin et instantanément jeté en pâture et en téléchargement dans les limbes d'internet, Cursed est un EP quatre titres sonnant telle une déclaration d'amour, spontanée et irrévérencieuse, à l'égard du label anglais Sarah Records et de ses fleurons twee pop d'alors, The Field Mice en tête. Encore trop insouciants pour tutoyer l'essentiel, ceux que l'on a récemment interviewés ( lire ) n'entament pas moins par cette candeur mélodique nos ultimes frissons [...]

Tan Dollar - Friends Again If you're looking for an affordable summer trip, I recommend closing your eyes from Your Body As a Temple through Cursed . During that time our Tan Dollar buds toured the west, put their split cassette with Weed Diamond in the hands of Thurston Moore, written songs about each other for each other, broken up, left the band, become a new band, released solo material, and most importantly, shown the importance of staying friends forever. But as I'm personally on the other side of the country [...]

¿Recuerdan hace tiempo que les hablamos de Horse Head? Pues Chris Thorne está de regreso con un nuevo EP de nombre Cursed , sólo que esta vez como Tan Dollar , banda que se sostiene desde hace un par de años gracias a este chico e Ilya Sandomirsky . No obstante, para este 2011 se les unieron dos personajes más, Mike Skehan y Jon Skehan , quienes también son la complementación de Horse Head . [...]

Ya’ll know I love me some Mixtape Mondays more than just about anything, (See: Alexander Skarsgard , 209 Gin , sexy times , Arrested Development , pool parties) so of course I was stoked when my girl Jen of Heard Instinct sent me her summer mixtape. Shit is bananas. Get on it. HEARD SUMMER Today is the ~official~ start of summer and I want you to go hard. I don’t think you enjoyed last summer. [...]

Delighted to see that California pop group Tan Dollar has returned with another EP packed with hazy lo-fi/twee-infused guitar tunes featuring three brand new tracks and a re-recorded version of You're Pure Gold . The title suggests that Cursed might be the evaluation of yet another failed relationship (though we're not sure on that), and it's the first effort that Tan Dollar have done as a four-piece. The folks might drop a few CDs of the EP sometime soon, but till then and in any case you may head over here to download [...]
