Another quick update before the weekend! Lots of new music has been tickling my ears.
I've mostly been listening to György Ligeti and Harry Belafonte, but these ones are good too. Promise.
Barbara Morgenstern - Blackbird
Barbara Morgenstern - Come To Berlin: Barbara Morgenstern has always had a untouchable perch in the realms of electro pop and IDM. Ceaselessly interesting and criminally overlooked, the new collection "Fan No 2" is a double CD of BM goodness, featuring the fun euro dance pop that will appeal to any fans of Kompakt, as well as the lush instrumentals that outdid most of Morr Music releases from the same period. And hell, Annie Lennox (Eurtyhmics era) fans, too.
Body Language - Sandwiches (Alaska in Winter Remix): The goofy 90s electro classic gets a mellow 21st rework. Lovely.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - God Only Knows (Brian Wilson cover)
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - Vocal Chords: The Horse Power EP is full of great pop fun! We dropped a remix of a track from it earlier, but here are 2 more lovely nuggets, including an irresistible Beach Boys cover.
Freelance Whales - Hannah: From the 2009 release Weathervanes, pop that is almost too saccarine, but just rides that edge ok, leaving that whisp of delight. Oh yes, I went there.
Helios - The Evening Walk: Helios always walked that path that Arovane first laid out, combining IDM with a few acoustic samples and a good wash of ambience. From the 2009 album Unleft.
Lazydisco - On (Aphex Twin cover): Ha! It's always great when people cover Aphex Twin, and here's a great rendition on probably one of his best tracks ever.
LoveLikeFire - Stand In Your Shoes: Reminds me of The Balconies, in a few ways. Soaring rockin' girl pop!
Mi Ami - Harmonics (Genius Of Love): New album, Steal Your Face! Might immediately appeal to those that like Marnie Stern, but also for anyone in to Wolf Eyes or Ponytail. A total aggro noisey mess of goodness.
Pretty Lights - I Can See It In Your Face: sample-dense breakbeat that nicely straddles both the RJD2 and Bassnectar worlds.
Run Toto Run - This Is A Lull: Epic electro-pop ala Bats For Lashes, except with the energy levels of The Gossip.
SL - Year Dot: From the new album Kaleide. One pile of bones? WTF, what is this Blair Witch?
Starkey - Paradise ft Anneka
Starkey - Playing With Fire (Ital Tek Remix): Space Traitor EP Vol.1 is craaaaaaazy good. Starkey steps it up a notch and delivers some amazing tracks, and has some hot remixers in tow.
Sunday Girl - Four Floors (Diplo Remix): Diplo mixes up the dubstep with some downtempo for this wonderful slinky groover.
Wick-it the Instigator - Follow The One: The Black Keys get sampled and looped in short time, with this track off the new The Brothers of Chico Dusty. It DOES make a fricking incredible beat...
Yellow Swans - Foiled
Yellow Swans - Limited Space: The new album Going Places is totally intruiging. It will appeal to fans of the indie noise cassette culture, post rock, sludge metal, and ambient drone. It's like those, but even better. Highly recommended.
