MP3 blog 2011/10/17

blog 2011/10/17 - raining and glazing and flowers beneath it all

Basti Grub - African Gift:  Groovey slowed down house beat with mellow horns and wonderful chants!

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Arecibo:  Who remembers Instinct Ambient back in the 90s?  It was the druggged out technophile black sheep to the proggy and newage FAX Records CDs, and Carbon Based Lifeforms made some great sounds there.  They are back with a new album, Twentythree!

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Memoir
Charlotte Gainsbourg - Terrible Angels:  The Terrible Angels EP is short and sweet with 2 great new tracks, 2 live ones.

Holy Other - Touch (Blood Diamonds Remix):  Chopped + screwed chillwave is the bestest!

James Blake - Once We All Agree
James Blake & Bon Iver - Fall Creek Boys Choir:  The new Enough Thunder EP is a bit meh, but I like these 2 tracks.  First one is all subbass and piano.  2nd one is Bon Iver.  Good enough.

Male Bonding - Tame the Sun:  I'm not a huge Male Bonding fan, but this track off the new Endless Now reminds of the more naive DGC-grunge era of the 90s and that makes me happy.

Mates Of State - Maracas:  After their awesome CRUSHES cover album earlier this year, it looks like the new full length Mountaintops should be here soon!  This sounds great, and I'm excited for the album.

Midnight Conspiracy - Discord (The Chaotic Good Remix):  Harder electro house for that Daft Punky set.

Noah and the Whale - Life Is Life
Noah and the Whale - The Line
Noah and the Whale - Tonight's the Kind of Night:  The emotional roller coast ride in band form is back!  Last Night on Earth doesn't blow me away, but it is certainly much more than I expected.  I listened in to find the one song that I would love surrounded by some rubbish, but oh there are a handful of winners here.

The Drum - Omar:  Love the moody weezey beats!  From the Heavy Liquid EP.

The Good Natured - Wolves (Crystal Fighters Remix):  This leads in well from the above track, then busts out with all sorts of Architecture In Helsinki-styled pop goodness.  Love the pitched-up vox and the Hawaiin kitsch pads.

The Weather Station - Everything I Saw:  From the new album All Of It Was Mine, this is some dark traditional campfire folk for reals.

Unsub - Afterglow
Unsub - Silk Button:  Let's finish up with 2 very traditional dubstep tracks from the new Afterglow EP.  Traditional in their structure and composition, but expertly executed, and given the tripe that has been busting up everywhere lately, this is totally refreshing.
