It's been a while since you've felt the one-two punch of updates so close together, but alas I am falling behind and needed to toss another one out there.
Good luck!
Antony and the Johnsons - Fletta ft Bjork
Antony and the Johnsons - The Great White Ocean: the new album is Swanlights and it is as gorgeous as you'd expect. It's filled with more rapturous emotion than the existential despair of the last LP.
It also seems a bit more muted and tender. I still have to listen to it a few more times, but I'm already in love.
Baby Huey - Hard Times: Baby Huey hits us with a funky soul rework. Pretty great.
Barn Owl - Light From The Mesa: From the new album Ancestral Star, Bawn Owl plug another entry in to the sludge/doom/drone/fuzz wall that is the last 2 years.
Soothing.
Buke & Gass - Your Face Left Before You: Sure, it's pop, but there's something so quirky about it's structure that I'm still mulling it over.
Cee-Lo Green - I Like It
Cee-Lo Green & Soko - I'll Kill Her: OK, Stray Bullets kind of sucks. The single is terrible. But I had to highlight these two tracks. First, I love the "I Like It" sample, as it harkens back to De La on the HBMS album.
And I thought that Soko track was super great when my old roomie Adam introduced me to it, and so I think Cee-Lo's response on top of it is kind of hilariously sleazy. but oh Soko's cute cute cute accent!
Cheating Sons - The Last Queen: Just some more adorable pop/rock/folk goodness.
Dems - Jarndyce vs Jarndyce: You kind of expect it to be a totally chopped remix at first, but it surprises you by being a totally straightforward pop song, kind of reminding me of Lemonade.
Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire! - Test Crowd: The garage-rockeyness kind of reminds me of the Japanese band Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her, which is always a good thing. I haven't heard the full album yet, but Sea Priest is the name, and Sleater-Kinney is the game.
Like Pioneers - Gift from a Holiday: Taken from the new album "Piecemeal", here we have that group sing-a-long power pop that I can't help but describe as "anthemic". but shit, anthemic verses? I thought that was just for choruses. Obviously, I'm wrong. Oh so horribley wrong.
Mimicking Birds - Home and Somewhere Else
Mimicking Birds - The Loop: The self-titled new album is fricking gorgeous, and incredibley addictive. It is meditative and tender.
Highly recommended for fans of Iron & Wine, Jose Gonzalez and Liz Durrett.
Monarchy - Love Get Out Of My Way (Treasure Fingers Remix): Hey Treasure Fingers! *HIGH-FIVE* Keep being awesome.
Mr. Dibbs - The Warpigs Routinev: The routine is an oldie-but-goodie, but it has shown up as a vignette on the new Inducing Panic EP, so it's a perfect time to introduce it the uninitiated.
NeonFlash - Free Tranlation (Alex Casanova Remix): Electro-ecstatic should be a new genre name. Seriously. It's even punny.
Parades - Past Lives: Remember when I said I loved pop songs with male and female duets? Yeah. That. From the new album "Foreign Tapes".
Parov Stelar - The Phantom (1930 Version): If you know me, you know I love love love 1930s party music, and so am easily in love with any truck that uses it well.
The Naked & Famous - Young Blood: There is a huge Passion Pit influence going on here, but hell, we always need more.
