MP3 blog 2013/08/21

blog 2013/08/21 - I notice you're watching too.


Aimee Mann - Labrador:  While being the lead single from the new album Charmer, and also the best song IMO, I love this song because the lyrics rework the notorious Bicycle Built For Two.

Alunageorge - Attracting Flies
Alunageorge - Lost and Found
Alunageorge - Your Drums Your Love:  Body Music is an incredible album, all of the best parts of Lily Allen, UK pop bass, Annie, & Robyn.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Author - Teacher:  This goes back to 2011, but it is a distillation of some of the best traditional dubstep elements, a postcard of what the genre might-have-been.  A readymade nostalgia.

Cat Power - 3.6.9
Cat Power - Manhattan:  Posting that remix last week reminded me that I enver really posted anything from Cat Power's 2012 album "Sun".  Why?   Well generally I was super disappointed with it.  But I do love these 2 tracks.

Celer & Hakobune - Merges Of Hysterical Exhilaration:  Time to chiiiiiiiil with a long selection from Vain Shapes And Intricate Parapets.

Ciara - Body Party (Sliink X Nadus Jersey Club Remix):  A great little rework with deep enough syntyhs and an ample number of snaps.

DOOM - Retarded Fren ft Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood:  Tragically named, but I love the beat here.  From Complex Vol. 1.

La Sera - Please Be My Third Eye:  This reminds me of St. Vincent in a really lovely way.

Lustmord - Babel:  The new album The Word As Power is absolutely incredible, and pairs the your-soundsystem-just-isn't-good-enough drones with guest vocalists.  The result is far more accessible for those scared of ambient music, and otherworldly for those of us that aren't.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Minipop
- [untitled]:  Space pop folk rcok smooth all over.

Monki Valley - Tanzania:  Total sweet grooves from the new Where I Used to Sit EP.  Amazing.

Sugar Stems - 6 Feet Under:  Crazy fun sunshine pop from the album Can't Wait.
