Wow, what a crazy week for you all!
New Akron/Family, new Iron & Wine, new Okkervil River, new Go! Team, new Mountain Goats... *phew*
2011 is revving up! Let's get right to it.
Akron Family - Another Sky
Akron Family - Canopy: "S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT" is a fucking fabulous record. It's the record you wished Flaming Lips made 2 years ago instead of that silly mess.
Highly recommended for fans of Flaming Lips, Yeasayer, Animal Collective and all that neckbeard ish. Expect to see indie kids spontaneously ejaculating.
Alan Pownall - Colourful Day (Seams Remix): Delicate and emotive and wonderful.
Damien Jurado & Richard Swift - Be Not So Fearful (Bill Fay cover): Ahhh the haunting choral organ sample, how I love thee. I haven't heard you since that Monopuff album!
Delphic - Counterpoint (Doorly Remix): Doorly gives the fabulous bouncey beat, Delphic hits us with that perfect pop bliss. mmmmmm!
Garfunkel and Oates - Gay Boyfriend: Hurray! The tracks have been floating around and on youtube for a while, but All Over Your Face collects all of the favourites, recorded studio-crisp! And yes, these songs helped land that woman a role on the show Raising Hope, and goddamn she deserves it.
High Highs - Open Season: Pretty standard, but also pretty darn good.
Home Video - Every Love That Ever Was (You You're Awesome Remix): Best name for a producer... EVER???
Hurts - Wonderful Life (Mantronix Remix): HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME. First off, 80s synth beat superstar Mantronix ressurects all of the best of the electro beat groove for this remix, and on top of that the underlying song is brilliant to boot.
Iron & Wine - Rabbit Will Run: This one is a tragedy... Kiss Each Other Clean just isn't a good album. There, I said it!
The Walking Far From Home EP had a triple threat of tantalizing biblically epic jams and it was GREAT. This album? A lot of meh. Except this song is pretty good as well. Le *sigh*
Okkervil River - Mermaid: OH MY GOD NEW OKKERVIL RIVER! I AM EXPLODING IN SLOW MOTION!!!!
Patrick Wolf - The City (Richard X Remix): Glamour god Patrick Wolf sounds so sweet in remixes. I've never been a huge fan of his original material, but every once in a while a good remixer will just make him perfect to my ear.
Piroth - Feelings (Harald Bjork Remix): The sparse strings is what really does it for me here. Truly under-utilized in minimal techno forms!
The Go! Team - Apollo Throwdown (Star Slinger Remix)
The Go! Team - Voice Yr Choice: I have yet to grab the new CD Rolling Blackouts, but if these two tracks are any indicaiton, I am super psyched for it!
The Mountain Goats - Damn These Vampires: DID I MENTION THAT I AM EXPLODING IN SLOW MOTION????? So excited for All Eternals Deck to come out.
The Naked And Famous - Girls Like You: Electro pop goodness! That's it, that's all!
