We're back and knocking it out the box again with another top-notch selection of new sounds.
Astro Nautico - Obey City Version: Tooooootally dope (pronounced TOOT-ally) chopped breaks from the Quiet Nights EP! This really makes me wish for a new Kid Koala album...
Aurelio - Mayahuaba´
Aurelio - Wamada
Aurelio - Yurumei: Woah. Was NOT expecting this. This album totally kills it. This is full-on grin-inducing pop music and I have no idea what he's saying but hell, the joy comes through in the chords alone. Laru Beya is the album, and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Austra - Lose It (Diamond Rings Remix): Austra is snake-like pop music that shares references to The Knife and Bat For Lashes, but Diamoned Rings tosses in a Duran Duran beat and massages it up a tad for the dancefloor.
Bag Raiders - Snake Charmer: Super sexy house with fabulous flute! Not enough of these ones.
Chase & Status - Heavy ft Dizzee Rascal
Clare Maguire - The Last Dance (Chase & Status Remix)
Clare Maguire - The Last Dance (Danny Byrd Remix): Chase & Status give a workshop on awesome beatage. And Danny Byrd gives a special guest lecture on flipping the same material in an entirely new way, working a pop song in to Happy Hardcore -esque vocals.
Cruel Cassette - Lion: Another example of contemporary beats pulling the rug out from under you, the ragga loop is flipped in to something more resembling deep electro house and dream pop. Fabulous
Dntel - Rather Be With You ft Reverb Junkie: So what, they're sampling old lost 78 RPM records of Portishead? New album out soon!
J Mascis - Not Enough: Dinosaur Jr.'s brilliant frontman has pure rock n roll running through his beins. Well, that and blood. But he's kind enough to share and now he's doing some solo brilliance, and the new album is Several Shades of Why and I am so excited for it to come out! *giddy*
Okkervil River - Walked Out On A Line: Another b-side, from the Mermaid single, more fabulous new O.R. to check.
Snowblink - Ambergris: From the album Long Live, Ambergris has to be the coolest thing in the world. And this song is appropriately beautiful. GOOGLE IT.
The Weeknd - High For This: yeah yeah yeah.
Thurston Moore - Benediction
Thurston Moore - In Silver Rain With A Paper Key: Demolished Thoughts is as challenging as it is beautiful. There are no soaring guitar theatrics and walls of noise. But there is a contemplativeness and stillness that shows Moore as a fully matured songwriter. If you don't like it the first time through, listen 5 more times. You can do it.
