![[Mp3] Vocabulary: “Children̶ 1;](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3430220_lg.jpg)
Savannah's Cameron Allen, aka Vocabulary , just recently moved up here to Atlanta, so I decided to give his album, Faded Days , a good listen. So far, I'm very impressed with the experimental bedroom pop record. It has a slow drifting momentum, but there's so many interesting sounds throughout that it still manages to keep the listener engaged. I have a feeling this one is going to grow on me the more I listen. Here's a song, and then pick it up for whatever price you want: Vocabulary : "Children" [...]
![[Mp3] Easily Suede: “She’s Savage”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3411811_lg.jpg)
I recently stumbled across Easily Suede , aka Adam Baber, and I'm really digging his ambient, chilled out vibe. Earlier this year, he released a split release with Blithe Field which contains four songs from each artist. Here's a cut from that, and then be sure to download the entire release: Easily Suede : "She's Savage" Download Blithe Field & Easily Suede Split [...]
![[Mp3] Wizard Smoke: “Weakling̶ 1;](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3395026_lg.jpg)
This Saturday (April 30) night at the Drunken Unicorn, Wizard Smoke give their latest record, The Speed of Smoke , a physical release on cassette and vinyl after giving it away for free digitally last month. The record centers around their characteristic doomy stoner metal riffs and screaming vocals, but this offering is constructed much more dynamically than previous efforts. It's a little outside of my normal taste range, but it's definitely worth rocking in the right head space. Wizard Smoke : "Weakling" [...]
![[Mp3] Young Again: “Control” ;](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3383751_lg.jpg)
Seth Bolton ( Living Rooms ), Phil Jones ( Dog Bite ), and Sean Telo have joined forces to put together a pretty nice track under the moniker Young Again . Check it out, and thanks to Apathetic Arousal for digging this up. Young Again will be playing 529 May 27th. Young Again : "Control" Young Again bandcamp [...]
![[Mp3] Nomen Novum: “Nickel Hydride Batteries”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3373982_lg.jpg)
Nomen Novum dropped another bandcamp banger for us to freely download. It's a really fun tune, so give it a go, and don't forget to stop by the Goat Farm Friday (April 22) night to catch the Nomen Novum, Tree Creature , and Magicicada 3-way tape release show.

![[Mp3] Jupiter Watts: “I Propose”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3373898_lg.jpg)
After four years without releasing a record, Jupiter Watts returns with Take Time , a nearly 37 minute record broken up into five long songs. It's very chilled out and pretty guitar driven songwriting that after one listen I might describe as Neil Young on Xanax. So it requires a patient ear and the right mood, but with those prerequisites, it's a beautiful record. Take Time will be available on vinyl with a digital download on Two Sheds , and you can pick it up at their release show with What [...]
![[Mp3] New Animal: “Out And Up Against The Wall”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3359174_lg.jpg)
Since dropping their self-titled record early this year, New Animal have been releasing lots of b-sides and demos that didn't make into their jam-packed 75 minute epic. Today they rounded up all of those tracks into one package, aptly titled Eleven Songs . This collection is nearly as solid as New Animal , possessing quite a few gems, a few of which I had already posted on the blog. But here's one more, and then go download the record for free: New Animal : "Out And Up Against The [...]
![[Mp3] Nomen Novum: “Helmut”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3356235_lg.jpg)
Over the weekend, Nomen Novum unveiled one of the tracks that will appear on the 3-way split cassette with Magicicada & Tree Creature , a sample and loop heavy atmospheric piece pushing farther into experimental territory. On top of this release, which you can pick up at the Goat Farm next week (April 22nd) when all three acts play together to support it, a 3rd Nomen Novum LP is close to completion, and other material will be heading towards our ears soon including a collaboration with Chris Devoe . [...]
![[Mp3] Beachtapes: “Santa Maria”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3337790_lg.jpg)
Last weekend, This Piano Plays Itself vocalist and guitarist Eric Bouthiller released the first taste of his new solo project, Beachtapes , up on bandcamp . It's a hazy, summery yet haunting bedroom pop number called "Santa Maria." Expect more Beachtapes material on its way soon. Beachtapes : "Santa Maria" Beachtapes facebook [...]

![[Mp3] Magicicada: “Measureless&# 8221;](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3308645_lg.jpg)
Magicicada has started releasing new songs up on his soundcloud page, and the newest, "Measureless," has got an aggressive but fun percussive feel. Also, if you happened to miss his Other box record from last year, you can listen to all of that here . Magicicada will be doing a three way cassette release show with Tree Creature and Nomen Novum at The Goat Farm April 22, so don't miss that one. Magicicada : "Measureless" [...]

Time Wharp just released his follow up to last year's Helvetica . Consisting of seven songs, the record is called later. , and it's one of the best albums claiming Atlanta to come out so far this year.

![[Mp3] New Animal: “The Weight” (Early Demo)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3265975_lg.jpg)
New Animal continue releasing a wealth of material that predates their amazing 75 minute self-titled record. The newest song, released earlier today, is a demo from last year called "The Weight," and it's one of my favourites from them so far. They describe it as " Beach Boys with a headcold," which is pretty right on. Go ahead and jam it, and then flip through their soundcloud for more non-album tracks: New Animal : "The Weight" (Early Demo) New Animal soundcloud [...]
![[Mp3] Kush Lord: “Doobies” ;](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3262093_lg.jpg)
Fresh in the inbox this morning was an email from Divine Interface , a local producer by the name of Drew Briggs. He's got some great low-key beats and sounds posted up at his soundcloud page including a remix to Toro Y Moi 's "Still Sound." I also noticed he is posting music under the moniker Kush Lord as well, and he's got two particularly chill jams up there labeled as "dream funk." So, here's one of those, and then be sure to check out the rest of his material. [...]
![[Mp3] Sorry No Ferrari: “Ashar” (Music For People Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3257660_lg.jpg)
Sorry No Ferrari have been slowly releasing the stems to their songs from last year's Ternary , and the remixes are starting to roll in. The latest comes from Music For People , who you may know better as Mikey Johnson of Tealights , and it's really good. For those you interested in doing your own remix, check out Sorry No Ferrari 's blog for details. Sorry No Ferrari : "Ashar" ( Music For People Remix) [...]
![[Mp3] Slushco: “Getting Through A Normal Day”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3257579_lg.jpg)
I just noticed that Slushco has added all five records to bandcamp, each available for a measly $3, so I thought I'd throw up a Slushco classic to celebrate. I think it would be hard to argue that there has been a more underrated act in Atlanta music over the course of the last decade than Slushco , so if you aren't familiar with Brian Slusher's brand of simple yet perfect pop music, dive into his back catalog. Slusher has been quietly working on a new Slushco release and a solo record in [...]
![[Mp3] Isness: “Marta”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3220201_lg.jpg)
I've been hearing a lot noise about Isness on the streets lately, so after checking them out, I'm digging their slightly droney, fairly hip hop, very proggy style of electronic dance music. Just a few weeks ago they released the A Tram EP , a collection of three sprawling jams, the final featuring a guest spot by DT of Clan Destined . Here's a cut from it, and then you can pick up the entire thing on the name your price model: Isness : "Marta" [...]
![[Mp3] New Animal: “Fall Out”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3217776_lg.jpg)
Since dropping their fabulous self-titled record earlier this year, New Animal have been unloading lots of additional material. Below is a track that they just released called "Fall Out" which was originally supposed to be the record's opening number before it got cut and relegated to b-side status. They've also just dropped a demo from last year called "Lazy Summer" and a remix of "Science" by an LA act called Acrobatics . They're working on a live debut in the near future, but for now, there's plenty of studio material to keep [...]
![[Mp3] The Back Pockets: “American Dream”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3203204_lg.jpg)
The Back Pockets just released a new EP called The Bulla via Double Phantom Digital. It features two new tracks and a completely different version of "Australia" than on their LP from last year. Be sure to go grab it and then catch them live this weekend at The Big House for the release show. The Back Pockets : "American Dream" Download/Stream The Bulla [...]
