Australia’s own CIRCLE PIT are back with a brand new 7″ from Hardly Art and they’ve unexpectedly changed up their sound. Moving away from the scuzz-driven grit of their earlier releases, now they’re brewing up electronically based deep cuts. Continue reading “Circle Pit – Slave 7″”
SANDS HOLLOW seem to be a relatively new duo hailing from Austin, Texas. Their new 7″ was just released from the likes of Monofonus Press, which only has one other familiar artist on their roster: the Golden Boys. This means we’ve got some new material to look into, but not before checking out this 7″ first. Continue reading “Sands Hollow – Watch Yourself 7″”
If you weren’t aware of this one then there’s only one question you should be asking yourself – where the hell have I been? PANDA BEAR releases his third official album tomorrow from Paw Tracks, and the world couldn’t be happier. Continue reading “Panda Bear – Tomboy”
Back when I first heard of Nicolas Jaar and read up on his unique sound and story, I was stricken with curiosity, but was also a bit skeptical. Then less than a week later Pitchfork slapped on the ‘best new music’ nod. I don’t want to be “that guy” and say that ruined anything, but it definitely took away from some of the mysteriousness, because now everybody else was listening to it. My point is, however, that I never would have guessed I’d still be urging to hear his music at any random point in my day this much time later. To me, that means something. Here’s a test: walk around in a busy place with this song blaring out your headphones and tell me how you how you feel. You sort of get the feeling nobody is in a better place than you are. Maybe that’s why it’s called “Keep Me There”.
This song puts you on an absolutely bizarre dance floor in slow motion, cluttered with sputtering effects, a precariously glowing fog-haze, glitchy piano bits, yelping brass, and a hooky bass line dripping with attitude that drives it all home. Jaar’s nasally voice sounds calm and collected, but also like he’s creepily whispering over your shoulder. Now do yourself a huge favor and get totally lost in these sounds – and make sure it’s LOUD.

We just covered a first 7″ from DEAD GAZE, and here we are with the second. Coming from the French label Atelier Ciseaux in conjunction with La Station Radar, Cole Furlow continues on from where he left off last time. Continue reading “Dead Gaze – Somewhere Else 7″”
By now you may have heard MI AMI figuratively traded in their past ways for a whole new lifestyle – the approach from “Steal Your Face” and everything prior is now a thing of the past. Their new sound was first illustrated on the “Ital’s Theme” 12″ we covered, only things seem a bit more experimental this time around. Continue reading “Mi Ami – Dolphins”
Coming from the Hardly Art imprint is the debut 7″ from COLLEEN GREEN. She creates catchy and blissful bedroom music somewhere out of Los Angeles, California. The music is self-described as “stoner pop”, and the more you begin to follow Miss Green, the more you’ll notice her obvious love for weed. Continue reading “Colleen Green – Green One 7″”
The first time I ever read about DOM came through this feature on Pitchfork. Not only is it weirdly interesting, but it’s hilarious. Needless to say, the next course of action was to listen to Dom. Now we’re right here. Continue reading “Dom – Living in America 7″”
Here’s something a bit different to kick off the week. If you’ve ever done some crate digging for obscure industrial-pop from the 80’s, then this might be just for you.
