MP3 blog 2014/04/18

blog 2014/04/18 - the unfathomable expanse of unbridled playtime


Bibio - À tout à l'heure:  The hazy psych feel here is the perfect Bibio evolution.  Couldn't ask for more.

Bonobo - Cirrus (Dont You Want Me) (Cocolino Edit):  Let's just take that Bonobo smoothness and roll it out in to an eternal groove oh yes.

Eleanor Friedberger - Stare At The Sun (Epitonic Saki Session):  The Fiery Furnaces troubadour returns with a great live take.

Elephant - Skyscraper:  Mininig a touch of surf sentimentality, this is some gloriously satisfying pop.

Fol Chen - A Tourist Town:  Fabulous new track from the new album The False Alarms.

Homeboy Sandman - Brown:  Hot new ish on Stones Throw mines the Tom Waits percussion for some perfectly muted joints.

Icona Pop vs C2C - Happy To Love It (Fissunix mashup):  Ridiculous in concept but oh so precious now that it's here.  WHO KNEW WE NEEDED THIS?

NO - Another Life:  THIS IS NOT THE NATIONAL.   Every review has to state that upfront.  I don't really care, I love the National so much I'd love ot have another dead-ringer replacement in case their tour bus explodes.

Pascal Pinon - Bloom
Pascal Pinon - When I Can't Sleep:  So much force behind this whispered pop magic!  From the new album Twosomeness.

Philip Glass - NYC 73-78 (Beck Remix):  This could have been its own EP, all alone.  But the surprise entry in the Glass Remixes was too quickly overloked.  Here, a giant Beck expanse to just muck around in!

Poludnice vs. Liquid Molly - Dolina, Dolinuszka:  Nowadays it's amazing to hear something dubsteppy without a trap roll or brostep drop.   SO. DAMN. REFRESHING.

State Lines - Win Free:  Sometimes you just need some emo-laden punk pop in your world.

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Kindness Be Conceived ft Joanna Newsom:  I am loving the new Thao album We The Common and COME ON PEOPLE, JOANNA NEWSOM.  Highly recommended.

The Strokes - 80's Comedown Machine:  I've never been much of a Strokes fan but I really enjoy this song from the new album Comedown Machine

THEBLKHANDS - In Love ft Kembe X:  The XX get ripped over, and while I'm not sure why they weren't credited in the title, the verse on top goes really well.

M3P blog 2013/04/10

blog 2013/04/10 - time to whittle down the audience and just find that spot inside

7bit Hero - Boy Walks Girl To Work And Is Followed By A Ghost.:  8-bit bass in yr face!  The melodies in this are boffo.

BenZel - Fallin' Love (Alex Young Remix):  This is Glass Swords, right?   I can't check that album right now, but yeah this is a Rustie beat, right?  Can't help but love it.

Bradez - Wossop ft Kwaw Kesse (Remix):  Some super dope bounce on this one.

Cliff Dweller - Peace In The Valley (with Therapies Son and Ella Hatamian):  I'm a sucker for anything starting with Amazing Grace.  From the new album Emerald City.

Congo Natty - UK Allstars ft Tenor Fly, Top Cat, General Levy, Tippa Irie, Sweetie Irie, Daddy Freddy (radio edit):  HEY REMEMBER 1996?  Who the fuck would have thought that Congo Natty would make a comeback 17 years later?  And it's DOOOOOPPPEEEEE.

Dinosaur Jr. - Entertainment (Phoenix cover):  Did I mention this week how much I love Dinosaur Jr.?  Because I do.  And will imediately b-line towards any covers they do.

Dr. John - Right Place, Wrong Time (DJ Yamin 2013 Remix):  So so so perfectly funky.  Keep them DJ-friendly reworks coming.

Dream Koala - We Can't Be Friends:  YES, DREAM KOALA, WE CAN BE FRIENDS.  BEST OF FRIENDS FOREVER AND EVER UNTIL INFINITY.

Exist Strategy - Autumn Breeze (Cross Them Out Remix):  Smooth bass goes perfect with strings at the break of dawn.

Fol Chen - I.O.U.:  Everything I've heard leaked from the new album The False Alarms has been kinda sorta perfect on the addictive pop front.  ALL IS WELL.  I AM EXCITE.

Http X Mickie Ryan - Bang Bang:  More female MCs getting badass and dirty on the harsh beats.  Love it.

J. Cole - Nobodys Perfect ft Missy Elliot (ONE4ALL Remix):  J. Cole always had the UK bass worked out, so tossing in some chopped Missy on the track is a perfect seasoning.

Julian Stephen - Booty Call Hrs
Julian Stephen - Hey Stranger:  Taken from the #AwkwardMoments mixtape, I love this guy's flow, and the Radiohead beat certainly doesn't hurt as a broad-stroke populist lovefest move.  For fans pining for a taste of Oldominion stylee, be sure to check this out.

Mark Templeton - Carved And Cared For:  There's something so nurturing and warm about this little ball of chaos that is so enticing.  From the new album Jealous Heart.

Marnie Stern - You Don't Turn Down:  I've always liked Marnie Stern, and always wanted to LOVE here, and I think the new The Chronicles of Marnia album might just have that edge.

Nicolas Jaar - After Laughter Comes Tears (edit):  Jaar digs in to the original to give us a quick edit for all the heads out there.

Niki & The Dove - Tomorrow (Little Daylight Remix):  A little spunkier than the original, you can never catch the emotional impact of the original, so might as well get some dance floor funk in there.

Vampire Weekend - Diane Young:  New Vampire Weekend for 2013!  Stay tuned for more, I'm sure.

Young Galaxy - Pretty Boy (Peaking Lights Remix):  A blissful combination, new Y.G. with some Peaking Lights action on top.  So good.

2 Chainz - I'm Different (Enferno Remix):  Quiet down Chainz, we're listening to snare rushes!

Freelance Whales & The Beatles - Dear Vagabond (ScottScottScott mashup):  You know me, I rarely post mashups in these here parts, but this one goes oh so well together.

Frequency - Chords of Calmth:  Plod N Bass is my new favourite genre.  OK, not so new.

Geskia! - Answer Song
Geskia! - Two Oranges (Polar M Remix):  I had been revisiting last year's stellar double album 323 Sayonara Memories, and so wanted to redirect you all back to it's glory as well.

Greg Haines - 183 Times:  Glorious stunner from the album Digressions.

Grimes - Skin (Virtual Boy Remix):  Sleek and unassuming little rework that brings the love.

How To Dress Well - & It Was U (Recycle Culture's Uptown Remix):  Who'd have thought if you put a funky beat under him, HTDW pulls of a good James Lidell?

Ink - Goes On:  Energized pop distilled down to exactly what you need.

Jacques Greene - Ready:  Greene gets techy on this shit.

James Blake - Retrograde:  OK, the new Blake does NOT disappoint.  SO GOOD.

Joey Bada$$ - Catharsis
Joey Bada$$ - Waves:  Super slick chilne$$.

K.Flay - Another Round:  A super smooth single, I love this so much.

Lavender Diamond - I Don't Recall:  When you hear her voice, then hear her title is called "Incorruptible Heart", you just kind of think "oh yeah, that makes sense.  Perfect."

River City Extension - Ballad of Oregon

She Makes War - Delete:  Acapella blissout from Little Battles.

The Townhouses - Heartsick
The Townhouses - Our Trees Will Grow:  IDM perfectly metered out, via the album Diaspora.
