mp3: Hooray! - Honeymoon New track from Hooray! . This one is short and sweet, much like the first jam he sent my way, " daydreamm. " It's also once again heavy on the lush dreamscapes. Ben's got two upcoming releases with yet-to-be-determined street dates. In the meantime you can pick up an older release from Hooray! called Snowdaze now via his myspace .
Video: Dth - I'm Squeaking Everywhere Devin, aka Dth, sent me over some of his tunes today, and I'm completely blown away. Dth is a experimental solo-sound-collage artist from the big easy. As an introduction, check out his impressive video for the track "I'm Squeaking Everywhere" which I just can't get enough of. If you dig it as much as I do, he has a full album available for free download as well. You can pick up I Hope I Can Feel Something Like That One Day [...]
mp3: Pure Ecstasy - Voices Acephale Records just shot me over their upcoming release from Pure Ecstasy , and I'm in heaven. The forthcoming single is out digitally March 23rd with the physical release set for release at the beginning of April. Here's the A Side, the wonderful-beyond words "Voices."
mp3: Girlfriends - Good To Be True My favorite trash-pop trio Girlfriends has a new 7" single due out in the spring, which is conveniently available digitally right now via The Ampeater Review . Here's the A-side, a slowed down and spit-polished version of "Good To Be True," which just happens to be my favorite track from their S/T cassette. Head over to The Ampeater Review to download it with the B-Side, a cover of the quick and fun Vaselines tune "The Day I [...]
mp3: Light Pollution - Good Feelings Here's the first single from the Chicago-quartet Light Pollution 's forthcoming LP Apparitions , "Good Feelings." This one just builds and builds from beneath some droned-out synth until ultimately ending on a ultra-satisfying note. Apparitions drops June 15th via Carpark .
Video: Attachedhands - Shape / Mode This righteous video from Orlando's Attachedhands is for their new jam "Shape/Mode," which will be available on Post-Records ' Fucking Friends Forever compilation coming out in April via iTunes and other reputable digital download sites. They've got a cassingle ( Versatility Of Movement ) [...]
mp3: Emily Reo - Blue Canoe The ever-so-wonderful Emily Reo sent me another new track today, the hypnotic and hazy "Blue Canoe." It might just be my favorite of hers yet. Emily is currently hard at work writing and recording new material for her next release. She will also have a new jam for everyone (including myself) to gush over on the upcoming WGWB Volume 2 compilation. Get excited. Also, for [...]
mp3: Cop Magnet - Honey Dutchess To Blow My homie Cop Magnet shot over a new track today called "Honey Dutchess To Blow." Dude's got range when it comes to his material, and this one is heavy on the groovin' hip-hop and Popeyes' chicken . Some Max velocity shit for sure. If you're itching for more he's got a new remix up at the Cop Magnet Space , "BeachFossilMaxChillocityPea cedMix." Not enough? Well, he's also got a [...]
mp3: Human Resources - Song For Karen Human Resource s sent me over their Fast Times cassette the other day, and despite what the title may imply, this cassette is a fifteen-minute exercise in heavy drone-pop. It may take a couple listens to get you, but once it does, it's got you. You can order your own copy, or download the whole fifteen-minutes of trancey-melodrama for free here .
mp3: Hooray! - daydreamm Ben, aka Hooray! , sent me over this track today. It's the first single and title track from his forthcoming daydreamm EP . It's atmospheric and soothing, complete with babbling brook / waterfall droplets escaping from a haze of reverb drenched oohs+aahs. A truly-fine winding down jam. Top notch, really. Check out his space for another track, "World @ Large," which is fittingly labeled as the 'sleep version.'
mp3: PPALMM - New Nostalgia One of two new tracks released today by PPALMM from his forthcoming record Cal-Aesthetics . With airy synthesizers and an oh-so-infectious back beat, this jam just doesn't quit. I honestly haven't stopped listening to it since I first hit the play button. Go check out the other new track "Revel" on his space if you like what you hear. Also, jam out with "Acid Cops" if you [...]
mp3: DOM - Burn Bridges DOM posted not one , but two excellent new tracks today. One jam comes via The FADER and the other a free gift via their myspace . "Burn Bridges" is probably the most feel-good track they have produced (which is saying a lot), while "Crzy Gurl" (the myspace jam) is a bit hazier and leans heavy on a B-52's vibe (in a good way). Elsewhere: [...]
mp3: Julian Lynch - In New Jersey New track from Julian Lynch, via the man himself: spacemountain : A song from my new album. It's called "In New Jersey."
Video: Memoryhouse - Bonfire Gorgeous unofficial video for Memoryhouse 's mesmerizing track "Bonfire" made by Jamie Harley , who also made that amazing video for "Lately."
mp3: The Points North - Nut Island A bit of cold and haunting northern folk from Boston's The Points North on a cold and dreary day. Their first album - I Saw Across The Sound - was sent to me a little while back, and somehow I just missed it in the shuffle (sorry guys). The Points North break out a wide array of instrumentation throughout their debut. Flutes, mandolins, accordions and plenty of vocal harmonization all swirl together [...]
mp3: Ganglians - My House [Daytrotter Session] Previously unreleased track from Ganglians via their stellar Daytrotter set. Listen to the whole thing over here .
mp3: The Craters - Cool Enough For School The hits just keep coming from Breakfast of Champs . They sent me over a sneak peak of The Craters new cassette Teenage High School today. It's picture-perfect toe-tap-inducing bedroom pop, with my favorite track being the aptly titled "Cool Enough For School." You can order the cassette via BoC (fresh off the press today) for a measly $6. The Truman Peyote/Turtle Ambulance 7" should be [...]
mp3: RxRy - Frlrn Bralb A-side from the new digital single released today from RxRy via BEKO. Grab it here .
mp3: Michael Parallax - Hallelujah Sea Graves Gainesville's Michael Parallax shot over his latest record ha ha hallelujah ! today. I'm starting to think I'm on a mailing list in Florida or something, but I'm hardly complaining. "Hallalujah Sea Graves" is probably the most upbeat track ever titled after a underwater burial ground. If you dig it like I do you can download the album, and his EP HEAAVY THINGS , for [...]
mp3: Emily Reo - Metal On Your Skin I name-dropped this Emily Reo track in yesterday's post . I just can't stop listening to it, or the entire album for that matter. When that happens I feel rather greedy for not sharing. Enjoy having it take over your day (in the best way possible) too.
