Andy Stott - Posers: Thumpmaster Andy is back with We Stay Together and yes, it is just as delicious as before. Highly recommended for all beatheads with a sinister streak.
Being - Quiet Rain (The Green Kingdom Remix): Being's ambience is always lovely, and it's great to see it get the rhythmic beatwash approach as well. I hope they release more singles like this.
Christina Vantzou - And Instantly Take Effect
Christina Vantzou - Small Choir: "No. 1" has lush ambience in that majestic Robert Rich kind fo way. A touch of newage synth, but more contemplative stuff that reminds me of the best of Being (see above!), with all of the lushness of organic instruments.
City of Satellites - Machine Is My Animal (Tin Manzano Remix): Let's keep that mellow vibe and add a touch of gentle bass. A perfect little Sunday-morning coffee-and-snuggles jam.
Das Racist - Michael Jackson
Das Racist - Shut Up, Man ft El-P
Das Racist - The Trick: YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. After the last few songs in this post, BOOM, MICHAEL JACKSON. Fucking abrasive. I wasn't in to this new single at first, but oh it grew on me. And people have been slagging on the first proper full length Relax, but damn it is super fun and has lots of great stuff going on in it. Fun is had! Guests are invited! Styles are flipped!
D-Jastic - Up To No Good (F^K Y3AH! Re-Bounce): What, we can't say Fuck Yeah? And yes, I do love any song that drops classic breaks samples in to them.
Girls - Forgiveness: "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" is an amazing new album. It has the songwriting of hangover-era Ween albums, earnest delivery of the early 90s, teenage melodrama and ummm.. gospel choirs! Perfect. Highly recommended.
Lanterns On The Lake - Keep On Trying: Something about the sound of the creaking floorboards in this that just makes it oh so downhome wholesome. From Gracious Tide, Take Me Home.
Static - Corazon, Cristal: Oh we are back in a section of the light and breezy. The singing and warmth synth reminds me fondly of Morr Music's later releases. From the new album Freedom Of Noise.
The Decemberists - Burying Davy
The Decemberists - Row Jimmy: Newly release, "Long Live The King" EP follows The King Is Dead. While not essential for music fans as a whole, all Decemberist fans should get this. These aren't as polished, but still great songs.
Tom Waits - Bad as Me
Tom Waits - Talking at the Same Time: BOW DOWN PEOPLE, "Bad as Me" IS OUT. Tom Waits, living deity. Get in line.
