February 2013

A few tracks we enjoyed in February 2013.

Jagwar Ma - The Throw

CARL:  Really digging the ambient 90s vibe in the second half here.



Bahamas - Lost in the Light

Ding:  Cleared out a tiny, totally hetero space in the catalog next to Lamontagne for the likes of this guy.



Autre Ne Veut - Play by Play

Corrigan:  This song works ... trust me.



Ducktails - Letter of Intent

Kowieski:  Most of these tracks have a Real Estate-meets-Destroyer vibe, which makes sense since the band was started by one of the dudes in Real Estate.  This track has a more chilled-out electropop vibe with some nice female vocals, really soothes the soul.



Roadkill Ghost Choir - Beggar's Guild

Hollering:  Think late night lake/float trip anger when you and the other solo brajs are passing a bottle of cheap whiskey and reassuring each other how much you don't give a shit. And then somebody throws a gross of bottle rockets into the fire.

January 2013

A few tracks we enjoyed in January 2013.

Chairlift - Wrong Opinion

Kowieski:  stumbled across this thanks to all the year-end lists.  Sounds like Fleetwood Mac on the Drive soundtrack. I don't know what you call that jangly sound that comes in on the hook but I have not been able to get it out of my head this week.



Blackbird Blackbird - New Leaf

MeatMD:  Dream pop shoe gaze, folktronica, molly music, whatever, makes me bob my head a little.



The Royal Concept - World on Fire

Corrigan:  To the guy who introduced me to The Royal Concept.. thank you.. infectious stuff... sucks they're handsome as shit and have amazing fashion sense.



ON AN ON - The Hunter

Tatarsky:  Nice big sound on this one, and sort of how I imagine Ohio house parties in the 90s.



Sam and the Womp - Bom Bom

TheMonkeysEyebrows:   This Sam and the Womp jam was number one in the UK this summer.  It makes me want to do blow see how high I can roundhouse.
