blog 2014/03/12 - there is a price for the land of dreams
We accept the costs absolutely: http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140312.zip
Angel Olsen - Forgiven/Forgotten: New Angel Olsen album this year! Very much looking forward to hearing all of Burn Your Fire For No Witness. (and what a super title)
Astro - Methods: The bounce of the beat and the flow has got me all wrapped up.
Bernice & Silly Bed - Oh My Days: This is like a Tune-Yards track rendered a capella, and is all the more stunning for it.
Blind Pilot - 3 Rounds and a Sound (iTunes session): Ahhhh total epic folk meltdown. I love it so much.
Kool A.D. - Lagrimas Blancas: With the deluge of Kool AD in the past few years, this one rises to the top for me.
LifeAlert - Heat: Sometimes all you need is a hot little sample set and a dope beat and away you go.
Matmos - In Search of a Lost Faculty
Matmos - Mental Radio
Matmos - Very Large Green Triangles: The Marriage of True Minds would be on my best of 2013 list had I heard it in time. It goes beyond a typical IDM album and in to the realm of Herbert sound art and Negativland collage. Prepare to get sucked in. Recommended.
Petite Douceur - Paris (Extended Love Club Remix): Oh the sweet pulsing of ecstatic deep house in the morning.
Rustie - Boatsss: This track is from the show-stopping BOATS compilation, where an army of awesome producers give their rework treatment to a glorious children's choir. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. There hasn't been a comp this massively impressive since that Dark Was The Night set a few years back.
Son Lux - My Father's Children: More from BOATS, and yeah, highly recommended.
St. Vincent - Prince Johnny
St. Vincent - Rattlesnake
St. Vincent - Severed Crossed Fingers: Self-titled new album is a pop playground, and while I don't think it's 100% all there and the greater-than-sliced-bread offering others have dubbed it, I still think it's pretty damn good and worth your time. Recommended.
Timba Harris - Monarch (i) Totus (i) The Egg
Timba Harris - Monarch (ii) Larva: Take some Secret Chiefs 3 magic and toss it in to the mythic cauldron that is the Tzadik crew and you get one of the most engaging contemporary and textural compositions. Highly recommended for fans of contemporary classical, Tzadik, or subversive arcane rituals that will mutate your body and leave a temporary shell of a protohuman.
Times Neue Roman - Sade Is In My Tape Deck ft Donwill & The Airplane Boys (Part 2): There are a few versions of this track, but this one is all about the summertime chill groove, so let's pop it in and bring on the warm waves.
Yacht - Icarus Complex: Did I mention the BOATS compilation was awesome?
