MP3 blog 2011/02/25

blog 2011/02/25 - these silences are killing us!

Oh I have been gone.  Gone, but not too far away.
Well let's make wrong things right again and get straight in to another update.


A Hawk And A Hacksaw - Cervantine
A Hawk And A Hacksaw - Lazslo Lassú:  Was the big band sound of the last Beirut album making you drool?  You will probably love the new album Cervantine by A Hawk And A Hacksaw.  I wasn't in to the whole thing, but it does come at you with some incredible instrumental music.  These two tracks here are a delight.

Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime:  Yessssssss!  This song reminds me of my friend Adam.

Bombaman - Mmeelloo Ssttaarr:  From the new EP of the same name, a devastatingly sexy little stepper.  The pitched-all-over up breathey samples make it just irresistible.

Cloud Nothings - Should Have:  It's lo-fi, but more Eric's Trip and twee pop fun than Vivian Girls.  From the self-titled new album!

Crystal Fighters - At Home (Disclosure Mix):  The bloghousey wackiness is put in line for this great deep club killer.

Ghostface Killah - Mighty Deadly (4di Remix):  BEAT SO HOT!

Gil Scott-Heron And Jamie XX - I'm New Here
Gil Scott-Heron And Jamie XX - Running
Jamie xx - Rolling in the Deep (Remix ft Childish Gambino):  Jamie's been busy!  His remix album of Gil Scott-Heron ended up being better in theory, but still worth a listen.  When Jamie hits, it's golden.  That's why Yog Soggoth gave you a next track button.

Jenny and Johnny - Big Wave:  In the tradition of Metric and Beach House, off the new album I'm Having Fun Now.

Jenny O. - Won't Let You Leave (Spirit Animal Remix):  Sweet pop with sword of +2 bass beat.

Kathryn Calder - Arrow:  Calder's folk is wistful and romantic and oh keep singing for me fire pixie!

Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - Penny Licks:  All of the plucky go-getter attitude of Tune-Yards with the surefire indie revelry of Yellow OStrich.  Delicious.

Love Axe - Never:  From last year's album Phenomenomenons.

Police Academy 6 - Wanting Something:  More of that merging of post-dubby Mount Kimbe clicks-a-lot with that down-pitched slowed out witchy business.  And a perfect tribute to a fabulous movie, to boot.

Pomplamoose - Hail Mary:  Reminds me of my favourite parts of My Brightest Diamond with a dash of Florence & The Machine.  Nice nice nice.

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Mill Theme (Robotaki Remix):  Yeah, I wasn't expecting such a straight-up Bonobo-tribute downtempo number either, but there you have it.

Tim Hecker - Hatred Of Music II
Tim Hecker - In The Air II:    Man, I was so ready to snark.  I got really bored of Tim Hecker over the years.  A number of his albums just left me super flat.  And not like Murakami superflat either.  I was so ready to be all *yawn* next?
But no, the new album "Ravedeath, 1972" does not skimp, does not bore, and does not let anyone down.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Yosemite Jack & Afrojack - Double Rainbow Replica (Cave Cake Edit):  Yes yes, just had to end it with this.  YOU ARE WELCOME. 
Rave on.
