Posted: April 7, 2011 Filed under: MP3, New Releases | Tags: Times New Viking Leave a commentTimes New Viking have a new song available for download, “Ever Falling in Love,” off of their new album due out at the end of this month, Dancer Equired. This lo-fi-style track combines the best of art rock with the tradition of doo-wop. Disagree, please.
MP3: Shit Robot – “Losing My Patience”
Posted: April 7, 2011 Filed under: MP3 | Tags: Shit Robot Leave a commentI missed all the final LCD Soundsystem shows. Whatever. So I guess I also missed Shit Robot’s performances which were supposed to be, well, the shit. Fortunately, I can download “Losing My Patience” here. I’ll be damned if this doesn’t sound a lot like Hot Chip, who happen to remix the track.

Posted: April 7, 2011 Filed under: MP3 | Tags: James Yuill Leave a commentLondon-based electronic producer James Yuill’s new album, Movement in Storm, came out recently on Moshi Moshi, and it’s a good one, full of his trademark slick and innovative production. Check out a couple of remixes of the track “Crying For Hollywood.” First is the Grown Men Remix (Alex Doyle of LCD Soundsystem + Hot Chip and Felix Martin of Hot Chip). Second is the Shir Khan Remix.
MP3: Swollen Members – “Mr. Impossible”
Posted: April 7, 2011 Filed under: MP3, New Releases | Tags: Swollen Members 1 CommentCanada’s Swollen Members are often overlooked, and at times deservedly so. But this new track, “Mr. Impossible,” has made me take notice. Cocksure style mixed with a quirky, banging beat – I’m looking forward to hearing the new album, Daggermouth, out April 12.

Posted: March 27, 2011 Filed under: MP3, New Releases | Tags: Yacht Leave a commentIs that some Auto Tune I hear on Yacht’s new single from their forthcoming album, Shangri-La (out on DFA 6/21)? I believe it is.

MP3: MSTRKRFT – “Beards Again”
Posted: March 15, 2011 Filed under: MP3, New Releases | Tags: MSTRKRFT Leave a commentThe name of the song sounds like a Les Savy Fav throwaway, but the music sounds like Iron Maiden blowing Justice. Download the new MSTRKRFT song, “Beards Again,” here.

MP3: Matthew Friedberger – “Meet Me in Miramas”
Posted: March 1, 2011 Filed under: MP3, New Releases | Tags: Fiery Furnaces, Matthew Friedberger 1 CommentThe Fiery Furnaces’ better half, Matthew Friedberger, is giving a free taste of his third album, part of a six-LP subscription series. “Meet me in Miramas” is good in the way that Spoon used to be, and arguably still is (I admit I just stopped paying attention to them, I got bored) – stripped down and simple, but catchy as fuck and worth repeat listens. And this song is better than 90 percent of the Fiery Furnaces catalogue. Listen here as Friedberger gets his Ned Flanders on (“ram-a-dam-dam-ding-dong”).
MP3: Panda Bear – “Last Night at the Jetty”
Posted: February 11, 2011 Filed under: MP3 | Tags: Panda Bear Leave a commentFrom his forthcoming album, Tomboy, due out in April, Panda Bear has made the track “Last Night at the Jetty” available for download. I like this song – similar in spirit to Person Pitch, but much poppier.
MP3: Ghost Animal – “Young and in Love”
Posted: February 11, 2011 Filed under: MP3 | Tags: Ghost Animal Leave a commentLA band Ghost Animal is making some appealing lo-fi rock – think Wavves, Tape Deck Mountain, et al. Listen to “Young and in Love” here.
