 
I'm speaking at...  |
Photo by Brian Garrity Hard to believe it was nearly four years ago I first discovered the progressive cello jazz quartet Jelloslave (Touch It). At the time my wife was 9 months pregnant, and I can still remember the baby’s in utero kicks when we would blare the fuzzed out jams. The group has been hard [...] I was a huge fan of The Pack A.D.’s Funeral Mixtape from back in August 2008. The female duo from Vancouver, B.C. write gritty, bluesy, brash anthems with chords you’ve heard before but with a delivery all their own. Think Alison Mosshart gigging with a Meg White who can actually play the drums. I’m pretty [...] Portugal’s psychedelic electropop band Blasfemea are sharing the first single and video from Galaxia Tropicalia, their debut LP set release in America in April. RIYL Midnight Juggernauts, MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Buraka Som Sistema. Download it: Blasfemea : “Maria” (mp3) UK producer Mike Monday sent over this fab unofficial remix of “Girls” by Animal Collective. Animal Collective – “Girls” (Mike Monday’s Unofficial Remix) (mp3) If you dig, check out his new February EP, Yoppul. (btw, yoppul is a word from the Isle of Wight dialect meaning “useless talk, incessant gabble”) The Legion of Doo are dropping their latest mashup off their sophomore record, The Legion Of Doom v Triune. If you’re not familiar, TLOD is the remix/mash duo of Trever Keith (Face to Face) and Chad Blinman (producer Saves The Day, Get Up Kids), whose material has been featured on the soundtracks for Underworld: Evolution, [...] Nicolas Fromageau, a founding member of M83, has a new band with multi-instrumentalist Christophe Guérin and producer/manager Jean-Philippe Talaga (founder of Gooom Disques) called Team Ghost. The band’s debut EP, You Never Did Anything Wrong To Me, comes out May 3 on Sonic Cathedral Recordings. Until then, munch on this: Yeti Lane [...] I’m digging Minneapolis band The Sunny Era’s take on what I’ll call renaissance pop. Eric, Laila and Rob meld vocals, accordion, violin, piano, drums and classical guitar into a smoking jacket lounge vibe that’s light on the ears but has enough sustenance to stand by itself. I imagine bands like Squirrel Nut Zippers listen to [...] Chattanooga’s Summer Dregs took a stab at Neon Indian’s “Mind, Drips” here with surprising success. Neon Indian : “Mind, Drips (Summer Dregs Remix)” (mp3) Carl Cadwell, the main dude behind the project, calls Summer Dregs “Chattanooga Music.” I don’t know about that, but I’ve never seen a robot riding a scooter in Minneapolis… Don’t make me wax poetic about my Annuals‘ crush, even if they’ve chilled a bit in recent years. Just download this: Annuals : “Loxtep” (mp3) The group’s Sweet Sister EP is out March 30 on Banter Records. Follow Annuals on the Twitter machine. I’ve been rocking an advance copy of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s new Beat The Devil’s Tattoo album, which drops March 9th. I’m not sure the person in the office below mine is digging the bass, but I sure am. I saw BRMC at First Avenue a couple years ago, and they were simply on [...] |
