[video premiere] coolrunnings//chorus

Jul 8, 2011, 11:00am Weekly Tape Deck
COOLRUNNINGS - Chorus
Rafael Bonilla Jr. created a gem-of-a-video for his friends in COOLRUNNINGS , laying out a clay-mation acid-trip of sorts. I can't imagine the amount of time this took on this video for "Chorus" but the product is fantastic piece of original footage. Gives me some great recollections of one of the great claymation movies of my childhood. Dracula Is Only The Beginning (Full Length) by COOLRUNNINGS

death grips//guillotine (it goes yah)

Jul 8, 2011, 2:25am Weekly Tape Deck
death grips//guillotine (it goes yah) I can't stop listening to Death Grips . With their proximity-bomb beats and hyper-violent lyrics seemingly backed by the voice of a half-demon/half-man-whats not to like? This undoubtedly will catch on like satanic wild-fire through the rest of the year. Check out the video below for "Guillotine (It Goes Yah) after the break. Also download Death Grips full Ex-Military Mixtape here .

[premiere] moss of aura//titan

Jun 30, 2011, 9:00am Weekly Tape Deck
[premiere] moss of aura//titan With Moss of Aura , you get what you hear: your favorite instrumental dub band is soundtracking an '80s B movie while the cast of Miami Vice dances around them banging on steel drums. Every track I've heard thus far from this band is either a party or driving music for the trip to the party. The synth-ace of the project is Garitt Welmers of Future Islands fame, and if you've heard both bands the connection is patently obvious. With the upcoming release of Wading , Moss of Aura will expand on the lush sound first widely displayed on [...]

dent may//fun

Jun 24, 2011, 3:35pm Weekly Tape Deck
dent may//fun Dent May might be the closest thing we'll ever have to a coherent Brian Wilson solo career. Don't let that pigeonhole the well-traveled Mississippi man's particular sound, but serve as a compliment to the craftsmanship of the crooner's silvery creations. "Fun" plays like a 1990s Saturday morning in that its easy going and yet completely off-kilter-note the solo in the middle of the song. This will be his 2nd single in the past year, the first one threw yours truly and this one will wear the Paw Tracks insignia.

cloudy busey//broken by intertia

cloudy busey//broken by intertia I may or may not be the first to post this, either way I was so stoked about the email I received from Bob of Cloudy Busey (from the band Ice Cream Shout ) I jumped out of my sick-bed in a fit of excitement. Both of the past songs sent to me from Bob's projects ended up being my favorite songs of 2010 (which we never posted). This song, which includes their first original video, takes a beat driven side as opposed to the light and airiness of the past two. Its [...]

kiwi sisters//…for the young and fertile bearers of fruit…

Jun 17, 2011, 6:30pm Weekly Tape Deck
kiwi sisters//…for the young and fertile bearers of fruit… Leave it up to me to completely miss a great band from my area. Kiwi Sisters are a mysterious two-piece outfit out of Dallas, TX that looks to be the collaborative brainchild of Caleb Flores-Gutierrez. Their newest release is dramatically titled ...For The Young And Fertile Bearers Of Fruit... but the spectacle lies in the music not the title. Broad, sweeping and nary stuck in a single sound, Kiwi Sisters ' songs are a twisted amalgamation of influences, some tracks feel like they were born in a retro-futurist 70s Brussels while others make me think [...]

[fresh] how to dress well//just once Yours Truly offshoot Love Letters Ink sure is off to a hot start. Their 2nd release will be an EP with blue-eyed soulman How To Dress Well , but not just any EP, these 4 songs are orchestral re-workings of tracks from his noisy Love Remains LP-the man himself explains the inspiration for this EP in the video below. The release will be in the 103 vinyl format and if that's not enough, YT piles on a few more incentives for purchasing this release. Limited to 1000 copies, this 103 [...]

[fresh] night manager//pizza pasta

Jun 16, 2011, 4:00pm Weekly Tape Deck
[fresh] night manager//pizza pasta New York's Night Manager rip through some serious melancholic riffs in their new track "Pizza Pasta," intermingling the enchanting voice of Brooklyn siren Caitlin Seager. Arranged with dubby guitar, warped bass, and a trashcan backline, her voice never seems to stay put and has easily become one of the band's hallmarks, teetering up and down in wanton abandon. Pre-order their 3-song Pizza Pasta 73 from Fire Talk . Night Manager - Pizza Pasta
