Not sure how it happened, but there's a lot of great chill going on here. Fabulous indie-rock folktronica beats, downtempo reworks, gushing instrumentals, hand-jiving micro house.... Enjoy!
Fink - Move On Me
Peter Broderick - And It's Alright
The Cinematic Orchestra - Child Song: These 3 beautiful numbers are culled from a comp titled "Audiovisual Couture" and thankfully, the songs are available on their own, as they shine so strong alone.
Black Mold - Metal Spider Webs
Black Mold - Tetra Pack Heads: The album is "Snow Blindness Is Crystal Antz" and WTF does that mean and omg why are these tracks melting my brain?
Club 8 - Western Hospitality (Pallers Remix): God bless the folktronica chanter numbers!
D. Lissvik - Practice: Pulses, clapping, chimes, and smoooooth guitar? Oh yes!
Epsilon Project - Inspiration: Some feel-good beats and rhymes, off the 2010 Audacity EP.
Forest City Lovers - Light You Up: I haven't heard the new album "Carriage", but I love this great bit of pop folk.
Hard Mix - Drama Drama: I'm loving the trend of taking 80s R&B-style pop and slapping on a modern funk crawler beat on it.
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Spottie: Hypnotic! And brassy! And an ensemble of them! Truer band titles were never spoken. Fabulous organic breakbeat funk.
Lali Puna - Move On
Lali Puna - Remember: New Lali Puna! The new album "Our Inventions" will not dissapoint any Lali Puna fans, and they are reliably working the same sounds as ever before. They find a good comfy space between The Notwist and Stereolab. Like all of their other albums, the whole thing isn't perfect, but the joys of the stellar tracks are worth it for sure.
Levek - Remade Horizon (Dirty Projectors cover): Ha, yes more people should cover The Dirty Projectors!!! Especially acapella covers. Fuck yes.
Patrick Chardronnet - Take A New Ride: A funkier companion to the Lissvik track above! All the hot guitar, but with some glitchy microfunk beneath.
Sleigh Bells vs Rye Rye - Tell Em Rye Rye Said Bang! (Mover Shaker Mix): The Sleigh Bells stuff is often just too abrasive for me to enjoy normally (oh distortion, how'd you get so cliche?) but mashing in so Rye Rye makes it kinda sorta perfect.
Slow Six - The Night You Left New York: The new album is Tomorrow Becomes You and yeah, it kind of sounds like The Dirty Three, except... ummm.. there's six of them? No no no wait, it's true!!!
But Fffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! So good!
Steve Reich - Electric Counterpoint III. Fast (Röyksopp True To Original Edit): OK, this makes me so happy. I first heard Electric Counterpoint when I was like 15 years old and slinking in record-store basements and sneaking in to late-night radio shows. I am so happy it's been flipped up again for our grooving pleasure. While certainly one of the most poppiest pieces Reich did, it'll always have a place in my heart.
