blog 2013/07/30 - all for you is never quite true


Air Zaïre - All For You:  Summer will never die with the bouncing pop omg steel drum!

Balmorhea - Days:  I have a love for this organic instrumental electronica stuff, ala the early days of Tortoise.  From the album Stranger.

Budo + Hollis - Open (Rhye cover):  Create take on the original which is one of those songs where you probably should never try at karaoke.

Fatso - Clocks Inside ft Chris Martin:  A puzzle-piece of a song, just begging to be hooked in to an electropop set.

Hydraulix - From The Bottom (Salva Remix):  From the bottom of the "From The Bottom" EP

Joey Bada$$ - Hillary $wank:  $wank is something we can all get behind.

Kastle - Stay Forever VIP:  If someone asks you to Stay Forever, chances are they are ghost and therefore awesome.  Hug that ghost.

Lonnie Holley - Looking for All (All Rendered Truth):  THIS IS THE SINGLE OF THE YEAR, HOLY SHIT EVERYONE STOP MAKING ART NOW AND SPEND TIME WITH THIS.

Marian Hill - Whisky:  Starts off with some classic soulclapping, but the chopped vox push it up to a next level direction.

Shlohmo - Don't Say No ft How To Dress Well:  Yesss let's get this kid on all the sexy hot beats thank you.

Talk Normal - Lone General
Talk Normal - XO:  Sunshine is a sleeper album hit from 2012 and OMG how much do I love this band?   They are the perfect synthesis of Kim Gordon-fronted Sonic Youth with Laurie Anderson meditativeness.  Highly recommended.

Team Wild - Eugene:  Blistering charge of amazing rock from the album Taekwondo.

The Walkmen - Weight On My Shoulders:  My highlight from the Lisbon b-sides album.

Tokimonsta - Go With It (CRNKN Remix):  Super smooth pop bass goodness.

Tuesday Born - Wake ft Dnae:  More new soulful smoothness.

Tycho - Adrift:  Channelling their best BOC synths, from 2011's Dive.

Zomes - Loveful Heights:  No idea what is going on here, but this piece from Time Was is jaw-dropping.

MP3 blog 2013/07/25

blog 2013/07/25 - there is enough of this now

Bird - Stine Shine ft Little Brother & Notes To Self:  Big horn beat with browbeaten rhymes about personal responsiility?  OK!

CIRC - The Night We Danced Without A Care:  Like if Four Tet took a lesson in writing pop music,

Dead Times - Feel:  This just in:  Annie Lennox is know a man and is once again making incredible pop music.

Disclosure - F for You:  Slinky dude vox often don't work, thus my aversion to much of Chromeo, but here I'm all like AWW YEAH GET THEM EVEN HIGHER IN THE MIX because it's pants off party time.

Ellen Allien - Lism (excerpt):  Allien is rightly apped for soundtrack work for the movie Lism and it's a wonderful full length meshed journey that is only 50% of what you'd expect and 50% of delightful surprise.  Recommended for Nyquil Drivers everywhere.

Jerusalem in My Heart - Yudaghdegh el-ra3ey wala al-ghanam:  If there is an escalator to infinite heaven, this is the sound that engulfs you forever.

Justin Bieber - As Long As You Love Me (Louis La Roche Remix):  Super bass pitched out goodness.

K Theory x Chrome Wolves - Stutter:  Robert Smith, is that you?  Oh swoon.

Loo & Placido - Back In Heaven:  Sweet lovin' deep house!

Nick Everett & Everybody - Hold On
Nick Everett & Everybody - I Try:  Oh this is the stunning kind of folk I just get all mushy for.  From the new album elsethings.

Pretty Lights - Color of My Soul:  A bit of that West Coast grindy midrange with a traditional downtempo groove.

Solo - Alki Bamba ft Deepshakerz:  More hotness on the deep tip.

Twin Shadow - Castles In The Snow
Twin Shadow - Five Seconds:  2 more fabulous Twin Shadow tracks.  I admit his stuff took a while to grow on me, but now I have no idea how I did without.

We/Or/Me - From the Top of this Thing:  Do I really have to explain how awesome this is?  At times channelling Giorno, this is a storytelling meditation.

Yellow Claw & Yung Felix - Dancefloor Champion:  Ra baba babababa BASS!

blog 2013/07/16 - only time for love is now


Bombay The Hard Way - Ganges A GoGo:  Always need a dose of raucous Bombay The Hard Way.

Dan Deacon - Konono Ripoff No. 1:  Perfectly titled, and an incredible single.  I love love love this.

Deafheaven - Dream House
Deafheaven - Windows:  HOLY.  SHIT.  Sunbather.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Demdike Stare - Collision
Demdike Stare - Misappropriation:  The new Testpressing #001 single is an overload of awesome bass.  Like the very first time you heard Techno Animal and got weak in the knees.

Ellie Goulding vs Apparat - Goodbye In The Water (LeeDM101 mashup):  I love the idea of mashups that are mellow on mellow and sensual the whoel way through.

Green Lantern - Splitting Atoms:  Just some straightforward dubstep bass.

Jeffrey Lewis - Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror:  I think this song is just hilarious and perfect.

Kanye West - Bound 2:  OK best we all ignore Kanye, but I love the naïve-style beat action going on here.  Kanye, shut up douchenozzle.

Keaton Henson - Teach Me
Keaton Henson - You:  I'm a sucker for this tender and wavering folk.

Kitty - Barbie Jeep:  Another great track from the Adult Swim singles selection, Kitty has won our naïve approval.

Metz - The Mule:  Freshly winning entry in to the Polaris short list, Metz are a fucking powerhouse and should be handled with nihilistic care.

Nuyorican Soul - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun (PH Stretch Edit):  The classic gets a breaks-friendly edit and all the peoples smile.

Run The Jewels - Banana Clipper ft Big Boi:  Another hot track of this amazing FREE album from El-P and Killer Mike

blog 2013/07/10 - and we'll blow this door in


Action Bronson - Strictly 4 My Jeeps:  OK yes Action Bronson is a totally douchebag, sample Saab Stories with caution.

Alice Russell - For a While:  Alice Russels stuns us again with another beautiful joint.

Beats Antique - Get Lucky ft Charles Butler (Daft Punk Cover):  Oh yes, cue the next wave of Daft Punk covers!

Bells Atlas - Incessant Noise
Bells Atlas - Kazoo:  2 tracks from the self-titled new album that are so smooth and pleasant, but also contain a great complexity that you'd expect from something sounding, at first, like pop soul.

Bibio - You:  Ecstatic new noise from Silver Wilkinson.

Blok - Skin Off:  HOW CAN YOU SAY NO???

Boards Of Canada - Cold Earth
Boards Of Canada - Nothing Is Real:  OH DID YOU HEAR?  New Boards Of Canada albums is out!  OK, it's a bit dissapointing, but a slightly disappointing BOC album is still good enough to mean Tomorrow's Harvest will dominate Best of 2013 lists everywhere.

Camera Obscura - Break It To You Gently
Camera Obscura - Troublemaker:  This band gets better and better and better.  Desire Lines is out now, and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

CFCF - Camera:  Luscious plodding jazz electronics?  Oh yes please.  From the new album Music For Objects.

Chairs - Indestructible Machine:  Great brooding pop from The Droning of an Insect Wing.

I Am Oak - Don't I Know Enough:  I imaginate folk like this is a theme song for recruitment in to a cult.  Yes.

Jai Nitai Lotus - Mingus Clap:  Short, perfect goodness from Something You Feel.

Oskar Schuster - Stjernen ft Possimiste
Oskar Schuster - Vleurgat:  2 delicate pieces of minimal perfection.

Slam Dunk - Fantasy:  Dirty bar rock from Welcome To Miami.

The Uncluded  - Bats:  Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson give us another swirling linguistic hot mess, from a split single with Atmosphere (remember him?)

Tinashe - Ecstasy:  Sweetness R&B

Xs - Over (ill Life Remix):  and we end it on some great mutant techno

blog 2013/07/04 - a twenty five cent chance for redemption


Camera Obscura - Fifth In Line To The Throne:  New single from Camera Obscura!  Can't wait to hear the full lengh, Desire Lines.

CocoRosie - End Of Time
CocoRosie - Tears For Animals ft Antony Hegarty:  I think it makes sense that for CocoRosie to get back in to fine form they needed to bring Hegarty back in to the mix.  Now that they've done that, the melodies congeal, the breakbeats snap, and these dreary moods are a great little place to hangout.  Tales Of A Grass Widow is growing on me.

Daft Punk - Doin' It Right:  Oh HAI, did you hear that Daft Punk have a new album out?  It's called Random Access Memories and maybe you've seen it mentioned somewhere?

Field Mouse - Glass
Field Mouse - Tomorrow is Yesterday:  While being one of the cutest names for a band, we have some lovely fully formed pop goodness here.

Grand Analog - Electric City ft Shad:  This track goes back a few years, but I have been loving the organ on it lately.

James Blake - Life Round Here (MANIK Ghost Pines Rework)
James Blake - Retrograde (Quasimo's bootleg remix):  2 little Blake remixes, one on the deep house tip, one true to the plod.  All goodness.

Julia Stone - This Love (Egokind Edit):  Sweet deepness all around.

Mauracher - Outer Space Dancer:  Even buried under the fuzzy synths, the hand claps make me soar.

Mop Mop - Kamakumba
Mop Mop - Phantom Of The Panther:  2 track so suuuuper slick jazz grooves holy hell!

Scout Niblett - Can't Fool Me Now:  Scout's new album It's Up to Emma is shaping up to be another slow burner.  She's got some Bonnie Billy back in the mix, and hell, how else do you recover after the past high's of Kiss???

Sky Ferreira - Everything Is Embarassing:  How songs like this aren't dominating the pop charts is beyond me.  Total ace.

The Limousines - Call Me Al (Paul Simon Cover):  No one can do it like Paul, but awww heck, thanks for trying, guys!

TWRK - Living Room ft Dan Gerous:  Cali twerk moth
