Chicago seems like a strange place. Sure, there is the Cheers bar and the giant pizzas, but there is also juke and all the eccentric, experimental stuff that spins off it. Glitter Bones are part of that odd stuff. Their LP is the first release on awesome new Paris-born label, SVN SNS RCRDS . Glitter Bones - Chapel Footwork [mp3]
Remember before the internet when you used to go to the park until dusk and swings were the most exciting thing in the world and if you swung hard enough you might be able to jump off at the top of your trajectory and launch yourself into orbit or at least far enough that you'd land on the grass clear of the tarmac? Hear more from Roof Light at his Soundcloud. Roof Light - Playground Sunburst[mp3]
Tyler The Creator & Hodgy Beats - Sandwitches (Live on Jimmy Fallon) I know you've already watched this a hundred times, but you really should make it a thousand.
An experiment: stare at a hypnotically intricate picture from Space Collective while listening to a hypnotically intricate song from 8Bitch . After a few minutes this blog will transform into a miracle of naked existence. Or your eyes will hurt. Either way, trippy. 8Bitch - Glass Diamonds [mp3]
He's called Love Distance and he named this song after a fucking big bridge so we already expected scope and scale, but even then the epic rawness that explodes out of this was a suprise. It's like a thermonuclear teardrop. Love Distance - Shenzen Western Corridor [mp3]
Jessie Ware & Sampha - Valentine Not strictly D2P, but I got Jessie Ware & Sampha to resolve romantic dilemmas for The FADER , and they made us a special Valentine's mixtape. Buy their adorable heart-shaped record from Young Turks . Tracklist for the mix is after the jump. Jessie Ware & Sampha - Valentine's FADER mix [mp3] Jessie Ware & Sampha - Valentine (demo) Omar - There's Nothing Like This [...]
Pictures Music must've got a load of Valentines this morning because, in a fit of awesome generosity, they're giving away Koreless' sparse, spectral stepper, Up Down Up Down. Get it from his Bandcamp or the widget thing below.
Tyler, The Creator - Yonkers Hello, NSFW. I'm OMG WTF. Nice to meet you.
This week I spoke to the amazing Star Slinger . He made us an exclusive, party crushing, purp walking mix that will soundtrack our every indiscretion for the forseeable future. Head over to The FADER to read our chat about old cartoons and "death tripping." Tracklist after the jump. Star Slinger - The FADER Exclusive Mix 2011 [mp3] 1. UGK - International Player's Anthem (Feat. Three 6 Mafia) 2. Lunice - Purp Walk 3. Star Slinger - [...]
Planningtorock - Doorway If Charles Burns dreamt about Ms Hellboy singing at Club Silencio .
What's Swedish for swag ? Lykke Li - I Follow You (Tyler The Creator Mix) [mp3]
Thanks to the sterling work of De Stijl we are now familiar with the heartbreaking work of Ed Askew. Here is a choice extract from his biography: "His original musical instrument was the Martin Tipple, which he describeds as a "10-stringed instrument shaped like a baritone ukulele." For several months circa 66-67, he was in a psychedelic folk band called Gandalf And The Motorpickle, who played at the Exit Coffeehouse, which was located in the basement of a Methodist church." Ed Askew - Here We Are Together Again [mp3] [ Buy ]
Victor Hugo said the penal system is a sea of pitiless social darkness and an unfathomable waste of misery, which makes it sound a lot like The Tower of Pinglewood (on a good day). Daggereyess probably wasn't thinking about Victor Hugo when he made this ghostly, pulsing techno track, but who knows, because it sounds like a song about lost souls. Daggereyess - Prison Ship [mp3]
DOOWELGNIP is the new bizarro world Pinglewood Tumblr blog. A place for all the weird stuff that is better left unexplained. And cartoons.
Even though this didn't turn out to be Betty White singing about her favourite Bette Midler film, it's still very cool. Golden Grrrls are from Glasgow and have the most Scottish names ever (Ruari! Eilidh! Lorna!). This is their weird, crazy, new single for weird, crazy, new label, Night School . Golden Grrrls - Beaches [mp3] [ Buy ]
We first came across Slime when his haunted/hopeful/hallucinatory sounds oozed out of The Mixtape . Since then he seems to have deleted his Soundcloud , but we managed to dredge up a new song, Next Time, for your streaming pleasure. Slime spoke to us about foam pear trays and merry-go-rounds. Slime - Next Time [Stream Only] Slime - First Cape [mp3] 1. "Rollerdiscos [...]
Echo Lake - Young Silence [ Via ] This mesmerising Echo Lake video was made by Dan Nixon from XXJFG with an MS Kinect. It's certainly an improvement on our (rejected) effort which harnessed the untapped artistic potential of MS Excel. No Pain In Pop release Echo Lake 's debut EP on Valentine's Day (shucks) and the release party (on 19/2) sees them perform alongside Prizes and The Proper Ornaments . DJ support comes from the cream of [...]
Royalty make flinty, mean boogie that sounds like that scene in Blue Valentine where angry, resentful sex boils over into a big fucking fight, but only if Michelle Williams (SWOON) and Ryan Gosling (SWOON) were steel-hearted cyborgs. For more robot break-up songs, get their forthcoming EP on Five Easy Pieces . Royalty - Don't Break Me [mp3]
Nicki Minaj (ft. Drake) - Moment 4 Life [ Via ] Not only is Nicki Minaj the best rapper, actress and English impersonator in the whole universe, she was kind enough to personally shout me out on her new iPhone app. I feel so alive.
Brokenchord is the first Lithuanian to feature on Pinglewood, but don't worry, he speaks the language of woozy, intimate, ever-morphing ?step (and English, phew). Like Boards of Canada, M83 or Mount Kimbie his music is electronic and pastoral, a very modern paradise. Check out his new single on Black Acre . After the jump he talks about Linda Perhacs and funeral homes. Brokenchord - Dribble Drift [mp3] [ Via ] Brokenchord - A Girl of 13 Summers / Orion [Stream Only] [...]
