MP3 blog 2011/08/23

blog 2011/08/23 - salve for the weary-eyed nighthawks


Abigail Washburn - City Of Refuge:  From the new album City of Refuge, I love the energy and urgency of this track.

Black Eagle Child - Families Get Together
Black Eagle Child - The River's Course:  The new album Lobelia is full of down-home instrumentals and wonderful arrangements.  If you used to be all sludge rock and post-rock and then discovered how awesome Earth are, then this would be your next logical progession in life.  And if you're already there, well, this band won't replace your hard-on for The Dirty Three, but it's still a darn good album.

Black Fabio - Black Fabio ft J. Moore:  Sick sick beat, great flow, total package.

Dark Mean - Smoke Lake:  Contemporary indie rock from the self-titled album, for fans of Sloan... and fun.

DJ Fresh - Louder ft Sian Evans (Flux Pavilion & Doctor P Remix):  Oh so anthemic, I couldn't reist.

Dum Dum Girls - Coming Down:  Off the new album "Only in Dreams"!  A total slow-burn melancholy rubdown.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home (RAC mix):  AGAIN, RAC kills it on the pop-dance front.

eGo - Back In Chicago:  OK fine, jerk face.  I'll use your stupid capitalization.

Emika - Drop The Other:  After the last single with Pinch, Emika drops more sick darkness.  Fabulous.

Goldfish - We Come Together ft Sakhile Moleshe:  Have I heard this before?  Is this not Ozomatli?    Whatevs.  The full length Get Busy Living wasn't grooving my boat, but this track is irresistible.

Noiserv - Where Is My Mind (Pixies cover):  A surprisingly minimal music-box style rendition.  Who'dda thunkit?

Obeah - Copenhagen Massive:  OMG DUB SAMPLES!  DUB SAMPLES IN DUBSTEP!  Who'd have thought?  I great return to forms.

Ohbijou - Niagara:  New track from the upcoming Metal Meets!  OMG I AM SO EXCITED NEW OHBIJOU THIS IS THE SOUND OF ME GOING SQUEE:   SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

The Barettas - Black Sheep:  We last dropped some Barettas back in blog20110317, and here's another track of rawkus bar-brawl music.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Heart In Your Heartbreak:  The new album Belong didn't groove me too much, but I liked it more than their debut.  But here is the real killer track on it.  Totally indulgent 80s pop grooves.

The Tallest Man on Earth - Weather of a Killing Kind:  And more new stuff!  This one from...  Adult Swim?  We'll take it!

Theophilus London - Why Even Try (RAC Remix):  Yes yes, I love RAC...

Yellow Ostrich - Mary (alternate):   A more traditional take on this great track off the LP The Mistress.
