blog 2014/03/04 - let's skip the middleman and go straight to the weekend

Everything is a bead, a bead is a sign:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140304.zip


Anna Meredith - Orlok:  Meredith's productions quickly carved a chasm in to my heart, the space that is a perfect fit for her vast compositions.  This is from Jet Black Raider EP and I just keep fist pumping and shouting more up at no one and everyone.

Artifact - The Way It Do:  Totally funky in all the right ways and you know I love that pitch shifting vocal line.

Dave O'Dowda - All Alone (Remix):  In the future all best pop songs will just start out with a dubstep framework.  I call this Ellie Goulding syndrome.

Four Tet - Jupiters (Happa Remix):  A Four Tet track can be pretty much anything these days, even a slice of minimal with the sedated heart of Ken Ishii.

Just Friends - Avalanche:  The perfect pulses on this track are the ultimate counterpoint for the vocals that floor me.

Karaoke Tundra - Hellacopter ft Bleubird (Jimmy P Remix):  My brain was at some point wonder if some bullshit drop was going to come in but noooooo they did the PROPER thing and stuck to this dope track.  I love this so much.

Lorn - Ghosst(s):  #cellocore for life!  Dark and seething all wrapped around the buoyant strings.

Marnie Stern - Nothing Is Easy
Marnie Stern - Proof Of Life:  I had heard 2 other Marnie Stern albums, but The Chronicles Of Marnia is the one that truly won me over.  It has the frenetic intensity of the others, but has even more quirkiness layered in there.

Mndr - Faster Horses:  This is just superb sugary pop from the opening note, and all sitting on top of a turn-of-the-century Chemical Brothers styled break that oh god I hope makes a big comeback.

PHOX - Barside:  Trembling, staggering epic folk power here.

Sarah Hopkins - Flight of the Wild Goose:  Why so few racks in this release?  Here's your answer!  15 minutes of gorgeousness from Sky Song, a split with Alan Lamb.

Simian Mobile Disco - I Waited for You
Simian Mobile Disco - Put Your Hands Together:  And lest we forget, SMD reminds how they rule the roost on the tech house barn.
