NPR's Top 25 Best Albums of 2011 so far

Jun 15, 2011, 11:09am Quarterlifeparty
NPR's Top 25 Best Albums of 2011 so far Pretty good list just for the fact that it's got things on it that you probably haven't heard yet and covers more than just indie. Be sure to check out: Dominik Eulberg's 'Diorama' which is electronic music made with outdoor sound samples. Julianna Barwick beautiful 'The Magic Place' might actually take you to that..well..magic place. King Creosote & Jon Hopkins' 'Diamond Mine' almost sounds like a cross between dubstep and Scottish folk music. Shiny Metal from Krallice on [...]

Stream Woods "Sun & Shade"

Jun 6, 2011, 10:35am Quarterlifeparty
Stream Woods "Sun & Shade" Woods have a new album out and it is sounding very good so far. They have upped the ante on their take on pyschedelic Neil Young. The album begins with the jangly folk that Woods is known for and starts to get really good halfway through, particularly on track 4 "Out of The Eye". Woods: Sun and Shade by alteredzones

Sphere of Influence – !!!

King Swamp - Blown Away (12" Version)
This reoccurring series focuses on a bands sphere of influences and what influences those bands might have had in the past...repeat. Kind of a down the rabbit-hole and seeing it where it takes me. This is by no means meant to be complete, just a musical exploration of sorts. Contributions and further input are greatly appreciated to keep the discussion going in the comments. So I was going through my normal music sites checking out new and old finds among the blog world when i tripped onto Shriekback on WavesatNight.com . Old school, [...]

Justice - Civilization
Here's Justice's new buffalo-future-ific video for their single "Civilization", off their upcoming album due out later this year. Pretty sweet, and the parts of the song that i can hear over the annoying sound effects sound pretty good. You can buy the single sans sound effects on itunes.

Malkmus' 'Mirror Traffic' Set for August, Produced by Beck

May 26, 2011, 2:14pm Quarterlifeparty
Malkmus' 'Mirror Traffic' Set for August, Produced by Beck Pretty excited about this collaboration, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks are set to release Mirror Traffic August 23rd. The album is produced by Beck which will be his second production credit this year, the first being Thurston Moore's Demolished Thoughts , which has been getting great reviews. Malkmus albums are always a treat, even if Real Emotional Trash was a bit indulgent and lengthy at times there were still some really great songs on it (One of which was about our fair city of Baltimore, or at least being in love with a soldier [...]

Zombi "Escape Velocity"

May 26, 2011, 1:23pm Quarterlifeparty
Zombi "Escape Velocity" If you have never heard of Zombi, then really all you need to do is look at this awesome album cover, read the following blurb, and then listen... it's pretty great stuff. Zombi is a two man instrumental group from Pittsburgh, PA. Their sound is heavily indebted to Italian progressive rock group Goblin, who recorded several synth-heavy soundtracks for horror film director Dario Argento (including the international cut of Dawn of the Dead, which was entitled Zombi). Drums, electric bass, and a warehouse full of vintage synthesizers are the building blocks for the duo's complex, evolving [...]

"Darlin" from Daft Punk & Phoenix Guitarist's First Band

darlin' - Cindy, So Loud (demo)
Before Daft Punk and before Phoenix there was a band called Darlin that consisted of Guy-Manuel, Thomas Bangalter and Laurent Brancowitz from Phoenix. None of this music is anything to write home about (actually it is pretty bad), but interesting to listen to these guys' roots.

New Single: The Horrors – Still Life

The Horrors - Still Life
Back in 2009 we were pretty fond of The Horrors' album P rimary Colours , saying "The album is equally off-putting as it is inviting." We weren't as fond of them live, but it looks like they're ready to release their next album Skying (7/26) and if this single is any indication of how good it'll be, count me in.

"What The Future Sounded Like" Electronic Music Doc

May 19, 2011, 9:42am Quarterlifeparty
What the Future Sounded Like - part 3 of 3
Interesting look at the early electronic music pioneers. This doc came out in 2007, so it's still fairly new, and available to watch on youtube in 3 parts. What the Future Sounded Like tells this fascinating story of British electronic music. What The Future Sounded Like mixes experimental visual and sonic techniques with animation and never-seen-since archival footage. A sonic and visual collage, this documentary colors in a lost chapter in music history, uncovering a group of composers and music engineers who harnessed technology and new ideas to re-imagine the boundaries of music and sound.

Gang Gang Dance "Thru and Thru"

May 17, 2011, 1:56pm Quarterlifeparty
Gang Gang Dance "Thru and Thru" I can't stop listening to the new Gang Gang Dance. There are many aspects to this album that I usually wouldn't like, overly produced beats , sounds verging on "World Music", and songs that sound like they could be from the soundtrack of Three Kings ... but dammit if this album isn't fun to listen to. I don't even think this song really does the album justice, more something you have to listen to all the way through, but it one of the only ones available to post (re: get the album!)
