Babe Rainbow - Like I Give A Care
Babe Rainbow - Shaved: Dreamy bass folk swirls of delay! Echo chamber psych blast! Grouper on quality drugs! Yes yes yes!
Bachelorette - Mindwarp: It's like a falsetto La Roux, with some wacha-kitta-wacha-kitta surf guitar in the background!
Bobby Mcferrin - Say Ladeo: Yes. Yes this is the same Bobby "Don't Worry Be Happy" Mcferrin. Forget all that and just try and focus here.
His new album Vocabularies is FUCKING AMAZING. It's a little bit adult contepmorary jazz, but it's freaking good. Complex acapella + drum compositions that span 8-11 minutes each, constantly weaving in and out of themself. Very much reccommended.
Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (Matamatics Remix): I was never really in to this band, but this mix captures the 80s pop sensibility of the vocals and wraps it in an instrumental that is just precious enough to match, and it becomes one lovely guilty pleasure.
Franz Ferdinand - No You Girls (Trentemoller Radio Edit): I kind of love it when Trentemoller takes on rock bands. The results are often eye-opening, or at the very least fascinating experiments that teach us more about the current state of music than we had originally suspected.
Lisa Hannigan - I Don't Know: From 2008's "Sea Sew", this great little folk number really takes off with the horns.
Lorn - Wrong Place: Lorn has been putting out slick underground beats for a few years now, and it's always excitign when new tracks find their way in to my inbox.
Mike Patton - Deep Down
Mike Patton - L'Uomo Che Non Sapeva Amare: This isn't no Adult Themes From Voice. Nor is it Faith No More, Tomahawk, Weird Little Boy, Mr. Bungle or whatknot. Mondo Cane has Patton crooning ala Tony Bennet, in Italian of all languages. And he's fucking slick.
I'm a bit out on the overall album, but enjoy these sly numbers from this vocals virtuoso. We all wish we could be as cool as Mike Patton, and he constantly looks down at us and whispers "No."
Mothboy - Motion Control
Mothboy - Won't: Sexy modern bass! I'm surprised this is out on Ad Noiseam, just because of the genre, but I love that label, and I am liking the new album "Bunny". For fans of Bonobo, for sure.
Shad - Rose Garden
Shad - We, Myself And I: New Shad! TSOL is the new album, and yeah, it's not perfect, but like Aceyalone's album last year, the parts that work are so joyous that you just don't care. Fuuuuun! For fans of any type of bohemian/conscious hiphop.
The Acorn - No Ghost
The Acorn - Restoration: UMMMM WHAT? NEW ACORN???? HOLY SHIT!!!! Freshly leaked tracks from one of the most hotly anticipated Canadian albums of the summer: No Ghost. Between this and the new Rae Spoon, it's going to be a orgiastic musical slugfest for dominance.
Keep your ears peeled for the full length, and (we hope) tour dates.
The Mountains & The Trees - Up & Down: Mmmm delicious monotone singing, and then the banjo twang coming in halfway! It doesn't know if it wants to be forlorn or optimistic, but we don't care. We love it just the way it is, confused as always. From the Hop, Skip, & A Jump EP
The Streets - Blinded By The Lights (Nero Remix): I never understood what anyone saw in The Streets. *yawn* But as has always been shown, even the most boring vocals can be touched by the hands of a genius and worked in to a total killer track. Thank you, Nero!
Think About Life - Set You On Fire: Ummm what? He's gonna set my girl on fire? FUCK YOU GUY! No people burning here. So like, what? A slightly more psychopathic and tragically hetero version of Junior Senior. OK!
