PREMIERE: The Internal Tulips - Mr. Baby
Both Brad Laner and Alex Graham have made alchemical, disjointed electronic music for heralded clearinghouse Planet Mu, Laner under the name Electric Company and Graham under the mouthful-of-a-pseudonym Lexaunculpt. The two first met over a decade ago, and it's taken them the intervening years to finally make a record together. The Internal Tulips' Mislead Into A Field By A Deformed Dear (album title of the year?!) is that record, though it's a step away from cerebral motherboard tweaking and towards a shared love of delicate, sunkissed pop. Saying it sounds like Grizzly Bear as produced by Autechre wouldn't be inaccurate. "Mr. Baby" is the free taste test below, the rest arrives digitally on March 29 and physically on April 13 through Planet Mu.

SXSW PREMIERE: Choir Of Young Believers - Wintertime Love (Sian Alice Group Remix)
This is another cover-operating-under-the-guise-of-a-remix, London's Sian Alice Group elongating "Wintertime Love"–one of the mellower songs on Choir Of Young Believers' This Is For The Whites In Your Eyes–into eight minutes of slow-wind, punch-drunk rhythms that sound like waves lapping against the hull of a catamaran. Beyond euphoric and surprisingly tropical, too.

SXSW DOWNLOAD: The Fresh & Onlys - Diamond In The Dark

Another mangy, heard-through-a-decades-old-radio guitar-pop nugget from San Francisco's Fresh & Onlys, pulled from a new EP for Captured Tracks called August In My Mind. You can actually buy the wax in a discounted bundle here that also includes new 7-inches from Wild Nothing, Minks, and The Soft Moon–more righteous jams for your scratch, which is never a bad thing. The Fresh & Onlys are, naturally, ripping through Austin this week; their schedule for the next few days and beyond is after the click-through.

SXSW DOWNLOAD: We Were Promised Jetpacks - A Far Cry

Memo to every band in existence: this is how you name yourselves. Just saying, these young Scots had us at "jetpacks." They sound pretty great, too–"A Far Cry" hovers tepidly over glassy guitars before barreling into a strong, drum-led crescendo. Dynamics are always nice, you know? It's pulled from a new EP for Fat Cat called The Last Place You'll Look, which We Were Promised Jetpacks are supporting down in Austin this week. Their schedule is where you think it is.

SXSW DOWNLOAD: Lissie - Everywhere I Go

Let's be real here: There are a lot of singer/songwriters. Probably too many. But the good ones are memorable because they can, figuratively speaking, suck the air out of a room. They are the ones you shhh people over even though shhhing people is super lame. Lissie, the California-based, Illinois-reared Fat Possum signee, will be creating many sound vacuums down in Austin this week, where she's due to play multiple times every day (her complete marathon itinerary is after the break). "Everywhere I Go" is from last fall's Where You Runnin' EP and sounds like quicksilver melting onto mountains. A debut LP is due sometime this summer.
SXSW DOWNLOAD: Diamond Rings - All Yr Songs
Toronto partystarter Diamond Rings has been inspiring us both to dance and to hit Sephora for the better part of a year now, all because of one song and one make-up-spattered press pic. “All Yr Songs” is a slept-on favorite, hitting an easygoing stride from the first strum, even as John O.’s gravely vocals ring out like last call at your most beloved haunt. Yes, you’re bummed when it’s over, but if all great nights must end, let them end with this. Diamond Rings is busy mixing his impending album and readying himself for his descent on Austin this Wednesday. His full schedule for the week is after the break.
DOWNLOAD: Damien Jurado - Arkansas

"Arkansas" opens with the line "I don't recall the last time we spoke / You said it's my fault, I still don't believe you," which is something anyone who's ever argued to the point of exasperation can relate with, and if you can't then you are just a sucky arguer. It's the second song and first leak from Seattle folkie Damien Jurado's new album Saint Bartlett, which was produced by Richard Swift (he's responsible for that newly vaulted recording quality) and is due May 25 through Secretly Canadian.
