CSLSX – Aeromancer

I wasn’t planning on a post tonight, but tomorrow I will be getting my eyes fixed, so I figured I’d leave you one more tune to remember me by, just in case things go awry and I can never use the internet again (I can’t imagine a much more tragic outcome). Remember a few months ago-ish we posted a few rockin tunes from CSLSX? Well here’s what I consider to be one of the purtier tracks from the person/group that I think is from Philly. Even though I always think of the Marnie the necromancer from True Blood whenever I read the title. I hope you’ve all come to terms with the fact that I don’t even try to describe songs anymore and just trust that I am not leading you astray. I hope to see you again in a few days. Like, literally see you.

NZCA/LINES – Okinawa Channels

It’s Monday, I am the proud owner of a brand new temporary crown that doesn’t fit quite right on one of my molars, and I didn’t get another house that I tried to get. And with all that, these songs/videos from NZCA/LINES still makes me happy. Perhaps it’s because I love projected visuals and crisp, synthesized percussion. Look for the debut LP in February and check out “Okinawa Channels” and “Compass Point” below, because I love fractals.

Lower Dens – Brains

I never heard the 2010 Lower Dens album Twin-Hand Movement but it sounds like several of my music-related friends thought it was a pretty good thing. Enter “Brains”, this new track that the group released a few weeks back, and I think I might have to go back and see what I missed. This growing, driving but still somewhat subtle track has most certainly piqued my interest. The new album Nootropics will be out May 1 of this year and I can’t wait. Because I will get to hear the album, and because it will be May 1, aka not the dead of winter.

Pictureplane – Real Is A Feeling (Grimes Remix)

First of all, I realize every 3rd post includes Grimes or SBTRKT or both. But Grimes and Pictureplane together just seems like such a natural fit and it makes one wonder why this did not transpire at an earlier time. Or did it?

SBTRKT – Atomic Peace

SBTRKT just posted this new old unreleased jam from 2009. This is why I love SBTRKT. Beats and outer space. I think I’m officially clinically obsessed at this point.

Beat Culture – Memory [Cassettes]

Remember a few weeks ago when we posted that awesome Beat Culture track “Midori“? Well, just last night, Beat Culture’s full length album Tokyo Dreamer was finally released, and all for free. I got a chance to give the album a full listen last night and it was just as great as I expected. It’s got all the glitch and glamour of some of our favorite electronic artists of the last few years, but this has a je ne sais quoi that really seems to make it special/fresh. I dig the running water and clear piano that tie the whole album together and give it a sort of nu-classical feel and can’t wait to give it a bunch more listens to pick up on all the nuance that I surely missed the first time around. Since my words will never do it any justice and since the album is free, you really have no excuse not to give it a listen if this is your thing. Check out “Memory [Cassettes]” below for another flavor if you still don’t believe me and download the album here. Oh, and did I mention that it was 17 year old Sunik Kim who made this album? Kids these days…[are way better at music than me]

Elen Never Sleeps – My Aquamarine

Going through some emails in my quest to carry on the freestyle blogger lifestyle (even though it’s getting more and more difficult, mainly because I just started watching “Breaking Bad” and don’t want to stop) and ran across this nice tune from Tokyo’s Elen Never Sleeps, a one-man bedroom pop project (which I always seem to dig). It’s shoegazey in a Wild Nothing kind of way (as opposed to the heavier sort of shoegaze sound), and in fact makes me feel kind of the same way that Wild Nothing does. Hit up his bandcamp for some more free tunes.

Solar Bears – Alpha People

When two acts that appeared/I discovered in 2011 and enjoy muchly join forces, how can anything bad happen? And such is the case with this new tune from our Irish friends Solar Bears who have released the first track from their upcoming album Migration with guest vocals from none other than Sarah of Keep Shelly In Athens. I like this track so much. Old school flavor, interesting asymmetrical rhythms, key changes galore, and a song that picks up a bit of steam all the way through…what’s not to love? <3
