We're still three weeks away from the official start of the summer, but with temperatures in the '80s and Memorial Day Weekend upon us... close enough. So here's the first of a season's worth of mixes, made just for you. Having a little extra time for this one I redid it multiple times, tweaking here and there, and am pretty happy with what's now before you. Hope you like it. Cover art for this first mix of 2010 is by frequent contributor Kate Bryant [...]
science of sound hatte mir ursprünglich singuläre freuden bereit. da kümmerte ich mich lediglich um sleeping in the aviary bzw. pale young gentlemen . lässt man aber seinen blick ausgiebiger über das label aus madison streifen, trifft man immer wieder neue und/oder/auch zukünftig gern gesehene bekannte. so sind mir auch die auf schmalspur komponierenden burschen nick und carl unter die finger gekommen. sie stammen ebenfalls aus madison und brachten "coffins" zunächst im selfrelease heraus, bevor sich science of sound nochmals seiner annahm, um einen rerelease zu starten, geschehen im [...]

photo by Matthew Craig 1. Action Biker - "Refridgerator" (mp3) "I can't sleep tonight/ The fridge is making noise/ But I don't want to make it stop/ It goes on and on and on and on." Gothenburg-based Action Biker is Sarah Nyberg Pergament. Wait, the 8-bit video game? Yes, sadly another 8-bit allusion. Be that as it may, Pergament utilizes glumly curious expressions, which are often laden with a quaint timbre. "Refridgerator" brings to mind the playful and breathy melodies of Saint Etienne. Each breeze of resonant synthesizers waft her studiedly [...]
I named this playlist after a quote by William Carlos Williams , mostly because I was too lazy to come up with a ridiculous theme like my last two playlists. I've also always liked that the first name of William Carlos Williams is almost his last name too, you know? The zip file of the playlist includes a special bonus track by one of my favorite groups, like, EVER. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------- ------- UNIFICS [...]
Madison, WI "Fast Asleep" Whatfor on MySpace Whatfor on The Hype Machine
madison, wisconsin musician michael sienkowski ( sleeping in the aviary ) will next month release his first solo album, called sooner late than never , under the stage name whatfor . the album has a loose, rollicking feel to it, and only one of the twelve tracks present clock in over three minutes, which both salts the fun with a sense of urgency - wait, we're almost through? already? - and effectively guards against an over-stayed welcome. sienkowski's delivery at times evokes john mcrea of cake; his listed influences include the kinks [...]
dl: WHATFOR - Call That Girl ( YSI ) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------- ------- Whatfor (not to be confused with THIS Whatfor) was described to me as "sort of like The Kinks collaborating with Rufus Wainwright " . I wasn't sure what to think of that description, but the debut album Sooner Late Than Never will be released on May 20th through [...]
