MP3: The Willowz – “Repetition”

The Willowz will release their new album, Everyone, via Dim Mak/Downtown on October 6th. Here’s a little sample of what’s to come – I’ll be damned if that’s not Jack White on vocals (it’s not). Listen to “Repetition” here.

This makes my brain hurt. It also makes me miss Celtic Thunder. Ladies and gentlemen, Escala.

Faux Hoax – Your Friends Will Carry You Home (Polyvinyl)

Tosca – No Hassle (K7)

I’ve posted about these guys a few times over the last month, but read my review of their new album here. It’s really good, even if it is “trip-hop”…. kind of.

stic.man – “My S.W.A.G. is Up” Video

dead prez’s stic.man seems to have gone a little Kanye in this new video, from his solo album Manhood (Deluxe Edition). Dude even takes a break from lip-synching to sip some red wine. Check it out, it’s a good ‘un.

Casiotone For the Painfully Alone – Vs. Children

CFTPA’s latest album, Vs. Children (Tomlab), marks a bit of an advance for Owen Ashworth’s sound, but it’s still basically that lo-fi keyboard rock you (might) know and (possibly) love. Read my review here.

Dead Prez – “Stimulus Plan”

Dead Prez will release Pulse of the People on June 23rd (Invasion Music Group), and to whet your appetite, the’ve leaked “Stimulus Plan,” produced by DJ Green Lantern, himself. Listen here.
