Small Black


Small Black are pretty big. They're kind of like a step down from Washed Out and Toro y Moi in terms of band popularity. So anyways, they're from Brooklyn and they're certainly one of the bands that we will remember from the chill wave era.

David E. Sugar-Party Killer




David E. Sugar is old. In blog years, he would be like 1000. Anyways, he's from the UK. He was a pioneer of chip-tune. He's been featured on a few Kitsune compilations and he has an album coming out next month entitled Memory Store.

Pretty hungover today. Everything is so damn loud and bright. In need of something quiet and gentle for my aching brain. Found this band whilst doing the daily blog browse. They're from Brooklyn, NY. They've got an album entitled The Longing coming out on the 12th of October. Sombre, atmospheric sound. Pretty much it.

Warpaint.

Thought I would do a post on this band considering that they are all over the net and that they are mad delish. So they're from LA, they make chilled, slightly psychedelic, experimental art rock and they're all girls( hott girls, too.). They've got an EP out already(which was mixed by that guy that plays guitar in Red Hot Chili Peppers) and will be releasing their debut album entitled The Fool next month.

LES SINS


OMFG. So Chaz Bundick aka Toro y Moi has recently decided to temporarily ditch the chill for the disco. This new side project of his goes by the name of Les Sins and woah, is it mad incredible. Pretty sure disco house is now the new electro.

There's also an EP coming out in November

Les Sins-Lina.mp3

Les Sins-Fuck work remix.mp3


Pictureplane


So, Pictureplane. Well, it's the solo work of an ou name Travis Egedy. He's from Denver, Colorado and he's pretty good at making wierdo brilliant darkwave. Apparently he lives in some sort of party commune called Rhinoceropolis. Ok. 

So anyways, he has this album out called Dark Rift, right, and its pretty fucking awesome.

DOM DOM DOM DOM DOM


I'll start this off by saying: "FUCK I LOVE THIS BAND.". They're just bloody excellent.
Love the lo-fi sound. Love the kick-you-inna-face riffs. Love the 90s grunge tinge. Love that the singer sounds a bit like a girl. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
So anyways, they're from Massachusettes as one would expect(The US is the new UK when it comes to music these days). They've been together since January and thats pretty much all I can tell you(Im pretty sucky at the whole "researching the band" thing.)
Whatevs. Here's their first single entitled "Living in America.":

Dom-Living in America.mp3

Btw this is off their EP entitled "Sun Bronzed Greek Gods."
Its a rad EP. Get your hands on it if you can.

The Drums- When I Come Home


Rumours abound! The Drums aka. the biggest band of this year is one member down, apparently. Was reading some blog that said so, ok. Adam Kessler left the band a few days ago for unknown reasons. Not too sure which one Adam Kessler is but I'm hoping it's the monkey looking one on the right. Kinda ruins the stylish, good looking and talented vibes of the band, right?

So anyways RCRD LBL posted "When I Come Home" today. Apparently it's a bonus track or something. What ever the case may be, it's a pretty sick song. Rumour has it that this may be the next single. Perhaps it actually is the next single. Whatevs. Blogs are written like tabloids.

Anyways, here it is:

The Drums- When I Come Home.mp3

They also recently did a really great cover of The Arcade Fire's "We Used to Wait.":

The Drums-We Used to Wait( Arcade Fire cover).mp3

Christoph Andersson





So in keeping with some sort of non existent dirrrrty south theme, here's a guy from New Orleans. His name is Christoph Andersson and he makes some pretty killah disco house.


He's only got like three songs and one mix on the net but whatevs. Think this kid is some sort of music machine who will soon be pushing out like 30 mp3s a minute or something.


Christoph Andersson-Tuxedo.mp3

He also did a pretty bitchin' remix of Yeasayer's O.N.E:

And....we're off!

Hey y'all. So I decided to make a music blog. The idea is to post sick mp3s by sick artists so people have sick music to play whilst they do sick shit. Pretty simple. I will try to upload stuff as often as possible(ie. like, at least once a week).


Cheers.
