EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Holiday Shores - Your Motion Says (Arthur Russell Cover)

Posted 11/20/2009 11:20 AM by Hillary Kaylor

Tags: rock, lounge, indie

Holiday Shores (Floridians, CMJ darlings, and all around affable guys) have a new tour-only cassette called Through The Thin Cloud and today they're gifting one of its exclusive tracks. Below, the band channels lounge lizards past in this boozy little cover of Arthur Russell’s “Your Motion Says,” replete with downtempo chords and cowbell. Hit up MySpace for tour info on where to lift the tape, or return the love by picking up their album.

DOWNLOAD: Grooms - Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings)

Tags: rock, indie

There's nothing overtly psychedelic or doomy about Grooms' "Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings)," but the parenthetical bears some insight, since it's on their loud-quiet-loud amp exorcisms that this one really gets lifted. More squalid shredding can be found on Rejoicer, the Brooklyn threesome's new album for Death By Audio, and on their current tour out to the West Coast (dates after the break).

DOWNLOAD: The Bravery - The Spectator

Posted 11/16/2009 11:26 AM by Hillary Kaylor

Tags: dance, rock, indie

Fresh off releasing “Slow Poison” (and our favorite steel drum remix), The Bravery has kindly gone ahead and dropped yet another track from their upcoming album Stir The Blood. “The Spectator” is lush with angst, strangled melodies and the band’s nuanced strain of dark dance. It also sounds a bit like MGMT, right? We think it works.

Sounds like: Editors, The Killers, MGMT

Our friends at The FADER have been jamming on this Belgian-cum-Miami funkfest for a minute, and it is righteously good. We were already drawn to the coffeepop sway of Au Revoir Simone’s original, but this rework does ten better, snapping the songbirds off their chilly branch and blasting south in a stained-glass Maserati. Below, Aeroplane re-affirms our faith in the Flemish, just in time for the weekend.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: WHY? - One Rose (Alias Remix)

Posted 11/12/2009 11:06 AM by Hillary Kaylor

Tags: indie, folk, hip hop

WHY?’s original “One Rose” is a quiet, well-crafted, singer-songwriter-type of tune. Just like Yoni Wolf said—it’s not hip-hop, you guys. But those missing the beat of yore get a break as hip-hop producer Alias (Aesop Rock, Sage Francis) matches Wolf’s folksy bleating to Casio beeps in this swimmy little rework. It claps, it crests, it sways. And then, the Autotune kicks in! Eskimo Snow is out on Anticon now.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Holy Hail - The Dying Party EP

Posted 11/11/2009 2:44 PM by Samuel Duke

Tags: electronic, rock, indie

Holy Hail's debut LP, Independent Pleasure Club, was a really solid record of many conjoining genres and accordingly we rode pretty hard for it. So, when the band asked us if we wanted to give away their new EP, The Dying Party, we were like, "Um, YEA DUDES." So here it is in its entirety, from the foggy clubsphere of "What's It Like To Go Away" through till the elegiac party's-over closer "Carry On." The band have been working closely with Education Through Music on the release, an organization that initiates music education programs in New York City and California. And since they're being pretty benevolent with this whole free record thing, maybe y'all could head over to the ETM website to donate some much needed and sure to be well-used clams? Everyone deserves the greatness of band class, you know?

Listening to Brooklyn's Small Black is like those times your musician friends drunk dial you at three in the morning so they can sing a song they just came up with into your voicemail for safe keeping. If only our friends had the songwriting chops of these dudes. "Kings Of Animals" is the b-side to a limited seven-inch Transparent put out for "Despicable Dogs" and, like that song, is gritty and sloppy and totally endearing. The band play The Bell House in Brooklyn tomorrow with Free Energy, which means showers of hooks (and beer) all night long.

Athens, GA garage heroes The Whigs let go of another song from their forthcoming third LP, In The Dark, a propelling little riffer called "Hundred / Million" that does the minor key verse / exultant major key chorus thing to a perfect end, again. Dudes are out touring around the States until the December (dates here); In The Dark arrives in early 2010.

DOWNLOAD + VIDEO: Bobby Birdman - Weighty Wait

Posted 11/6/2009 10:35 AM by Hillary Kaylor

Tags: pop, indie, surf

 

Today brings our second gift from Bobby Birdman off his upcoming New Moods. “Weighty Weight” is a slow-burning track, coasting in and out of guitar plucks and white noise. In the new vid, a hypnotic TV glare lures us in with skate videos, priming us for optimum scare when Bobby’s creepily half-lit face emerges out of nowhere. Look, man, we didn’t know anyone was home, so we’ll just back out of here, all right? We don’t want any trouble.
