Neon Tongues - Big Kids

2009-10-19T23:08:00.004-06:00

Big Kids

Now these are my kinda kids. This is just some good old god damned rock and roll. The ooh's and aah's these guys put out just break my heart, too. It's like you're staring your crush right in the face and you've never really said that much to her and now you're both at a party and kind of drunk and you feel like its your chance to say something and make a move but your friend calls your name from across the room and the opportunity is blown. I think if you're at this blog, you've gone through something like that. Well, think of Big Kids and Neon Tongues in general as your escape from those situations. Just stare that girl in the face and say "HOW DO YOU PAINT YOUR FUCKING BRAIN?!?!?!"

I Am The Dot

I Am The Dot

Zach Tipton, you bastard. Why'd you have to go and make this god damned beautiful little album? Don't you realize that every other musician you know is now going to become incredibly jealous of you? As if they weren't already. I remember seeing his other/old band open for Phil Elverum at the now defunct and oft-missed Brooks Center and being blown away by his (Zach's) presence. It's one of those rare feelings you get when you see or meet someone. Like, you know they're going to be famous? Or do something deserving of fame. Enter the IATD EP. This deserves it. And much more. Please, do yourself a favor and download this. You'll thank me. Or him. Yeah, thank him. I'm very proud to have Mr. Dot here as a fellow Denverite.

Wolf Tapes - Seven Seas AND Luna Luna

2009-10-19T22:27:00.005-06:00

Seven Seas

The few readers I have may have noticed I say things like "slo-mo" a lot. Seven Seas by London's Wolf Tapes evokes a similar feeling. Except the complete opposite. Get it? The pulsing of "33" and "Seven Seas" makes me feel like I'm in that part in Koyaanisqatsi where the camera is inside the car and you can see all the street signs and stop lights go by like the warp speed in Star Wars. The next time you watch that movie, just mute that part and put Seven Seas on instead.

Luna Luna

Okay, okay. So Seven Seas is rad as fuck. But after I took the time out of my (not so) busy schedule to listen to Luna Luna, I was floored. Like, more floored than how I was by SS. I have a term that I like to use for this type of music and I think it's really appropriate: medicated dance. It kind of has that chopped and screwed sort of feeling, mixed with lo-fi thumps and blips. But there's MJ quality back beats hiding in there. And fortunately for us, we don't have to look to hard to find them.

Thundercade - Free Radicalz!

Thundercade - Free Radicalz!

Click the free download thing at the top.

Also, from the aforementioned WEEDend. INTERNET INTERNET INTERNET. Reminds me of smoke machine rooms and super stares. Jesus, I love "Autosuggestion." Also, siiiiiiick remix by our friend alphabets included. REP IT.

The Dunes Beaches - EP

2009-08-10T23:59:00.003-06:00

The Dunes Beaches - EP

Just got this over the WEEDend. Heavy, drippy, dreamy guitar rock. Slo-mo running montage stuff. Kissin' girls and shit. Love it.

Toro y Moi - Demo

2009-08-04T15:51:00.002-06:00

Toro y Moi - Demo

Also, I've had a lot of people ask me where to get this demo. I don't know if he ever sold it. But if you want me to take it down, I will. But here it is. Check out his awesome cover of Master of None.

Can't Sing for Shit - I Actually Wrote 9 Songs. Rad!

2009-08-04T15:33:00.003-06:00

Can't Sing for Shit - I Actually Wrote 9 Songs. Rad!

Globe-trottin' Lenore. This album was recorded entirely with Windows sound recorder and a computer mic. Incredibly impressive. These are some heart breaker tunes. Get a drink ready.

Pictureplane - Slit Red Bird Throat

2009-08-03T20:57:00.003-06:00

Pictureplane - Slit Red Bird Throat

Also, in celebration of Denver golden boy Pictureplane's new release tomorrow on Lovepump, I am posting a copy of one of his older (but still really great) albums. It's much more different than his newer, dance floor demolishing stuff, but it's definitely worth multiple listens. Congrats, Trav.

Sad Lynx - Here or There

2009-08-03T20:10:00.004-06:00

Sad Lynx - Here or There

This is one of the more unnoticed and overwhelming artists coming out of Denver right now. It can go anywhere from Xanax induced IDM to pure lucid drone. Favorite track: "Fleeting Youth."
Let's get this guy in the clubs.

alphabets - Super Mediafire Extravaganza Collection

2009-08-03T20:00:00.005-06:00

alphabets

Just do yourself a favor and download everything he's got up there. I want to remix the shit out of some of this stuff. And I bet if you check back in a week there will be another album. Totally prolific motherfucker. And he's not even 20. Expect big things.

Karl Blau - The Shell Collection

2009-08-03T13:14:00.004-06:00

Karl Blau - The Shell Collection

I just stumbled across this collection of his older tapes/what-have-yous while mowing the lawn. "In Heat" and "Pain Runnin'" were my immediate favorites. Give it a listen or two. It's fun.
