Minimum Advice

A Message To All

2011-08-30T20:42:00.000-07:00

Almost two years ago I started Minimum Advice under that very banner right there and it's been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I unfortunately am here to say that I am going to call it quits for now. I have met so many nice/talented/interesting people over these two years and it pains me to stop for now, but there is just too much going on in life at the moment. Maybe in a couple months or so I'll start up again, I probably will. Until then though, I wish you all the best of luck in everything you adventure upon!

<4,

Tanner of Minimum Advice

Vacation || Locust Lane EP

2011-08-24T13:23:00.000-07:00

Vacation - Kingdom Come
Deep from the depths of [Vacation's] Wayne Memmer's head comes the newest EP from the soft folk band, Locust Lane. This new chilling EP presents five new songs in the form of a free download via Vacation's [bandcamp]. "Kingdom Come" is the lead song on the EP and what I personally feel is the perfect song to sum up the whole EP, quiet-yet-captivating. Each song is it's own respectable being, but they naturally all sort of flow together. Snag the EP (linked above) and you can also hear (and see!) another new tune "Anything For You" [here].

Laidback Luke & Steve Aoki feat. Lil'Jon - Turbulence (Sydney Sampson Remix)

2011-08-24T12:43:00.000-07:00

Laidback Luke & Steve Aoki feat. Lil' Jon - Turbulence (Sidney Sampson Remix)
I know this isn't usually the type of song you would see here on Minimum Burrito, but this song is just too crazy. You must, must, must, have good speakers/headphones to get the full benefit of this song, but if not it is still extremely dance-able. And I mean come-on, who doesn't love hearing [Lil'Jon] scream, "WE HIT TURBULENCE!"

Moon/Ruin || Ocean \\ Update \\

2011-08-18T23:45:00.000-07:00

Moon/Ruin - Ocean
It's safe to say that within the past year or two there has been a rather large explosion of beach-pop revival bands that have been making the scene and it's making it more and more difficult to weed out the ones that are worth listening too. Well, so regally placed into my inbox not too long ago was Moon/Ruin, a beach, "melt pop" band with a new album out titled "Ocean." So I hobbled on down to bandcamp to check it out and I'm instantly blown away. Title track and album opener "Ocean" instantly locks you down for a ride through the waves. Speaking of, these guys blow Wavves out the water! Kale Ogle's ever present voice with the clashing of guitars and smashing of drums all strung together are so perfectly balanced it's mind melting. Download the entire "Ocean" album [here]. You can also check out the absolutely bonkers video for the track "My Demons" [here].

Moonlight Mask || A Coruña

2011-08-18T22:38:00.000-07:00

Moonlight Mask - A Coruña
As of right now Moonlight Mask have only four songs out and about and each one is hook-laden and sappy for fuzz and fun. The forerunner of their four tracks in my opinion is easily "A Coruña" with it's fast, up-beat kick that will have you jumping right into its mellowed out guitar hook that will take you back down to Earth with's get-down groove. Its "sunny beach" presence makes it a stand out from the crowd of singles, all of which you can grab over at Moonlight Mask's bandcamp [here].

Gronxkey || Stagnant

2011-07-13T12:41:00.000-07:00

gronxkey - stagnant by gronxkey
Whenever I see a new Gronxkey track in my inbox I expect each and every time to be washed over in a aural wave of sonic grime and grit, noise filling every pore of my body. To this day I am yet to be disappointed in this regard by any track I have received, "Stagnant" being no break in the pattern. Bathe and listen to a plethora of more tracks by Gronxkey [here], at his SoundCloud.

Signs || Hunted

2011-07-13T12:24:00.000-07:00

Signs - Hunted
Snag this track and a many other beat-haunted tunes on the ever auspicious Insomnia Legacy Martyr, the new album from [Signs]. Keep up to date with more releases via Signs tumblr, linked above.

Urberget || Resans Maskerade Demokrati

2011-06-14T00:55:00.000-07:00

Urberget - Resans Maskerade Demokrati
Whibbly, warbly, woozy synths plague [Urberget's] newest album, [Den Sjuka Raven], and smother it to the core. Echoed voices chime in and out, and fill the room to the roof with vibes so deep they'll knock you off your feet. Snag that album opener above and the ensuing 7 tracks [here], via Urberget's bandcamp.

Rebar and Plums || Untitled 5 (Skippy Returns From College)

2011-06-10T18:20:00.000-07:00

Rebar and Plums - Untitled 5 (Skippy Returns From College)
It's summer time, all the Skippys are returning home from school waiting to relax and bathe in the fresh, young sun. Glowing cities and shimmering seas liter the coasts of the northern hemisphere for all of those who have been wishing for them to return for those long winter months. Once the schools are deserted and beaches populated is when summer really starts, so why not kick off your shoes, stick your feet in the sand, pop in Rebar and Plums new EP "Simple Glass Brackets for the Dark Dark Heat" and just watch the waves... You can download the whole thing via bandcamp [here].

Cop Magnet || Alexander Preview

2011-05-28T20:14:00.001-07:00

Alexander Preview by cop magnet
Twisted, warbling synths backed by R&B beats crowd most of [Cop Magnet's] songs, but especially "Alexander Preview." The thumping bass with the piercing synths make it dance floor killer, but yet personal listening friendly. Regardless where you are, or what you are doing, Cop Magnet's tracks fit all situations. Access a hefty cache of these via soundcloud [here].

Holy Other || With U EP

2011-05-28T12:26:00.001-07:00

Holy Other - Touch
Anyone who has ever taken the time to read any of these will probably notice that every once in a while they'll stumble upon a post about [Holy Other]. We of Minimum Advice have always, and if things stay the course they are going, will always love Holy Other. From their first single off [Transparent] to their new EP "With U" from [Tri Angle Records]. From the whispery vocals to the bass that thumps mindlessly in the backdrop, "With U" is like any other piece from Holy Other, but not too say that it blends in with the rest and is nothing special. You can stream "With U" [here] and can purchase it from Tri Angle on June 7th.

Magic Man || Real Life Color

2011-05-24T06:56:00.000-07:00

Magic Man - Monster
Boston-based [Magic Man] make whirling synth-pop that blows your ears and eyes right out of your head. Real Life Color is an album bubbling over the top with a frothy sound of distorted synths, 8-bit drum beats, and twinkling chimes and jingles topped off with a cherry of echoed vocals that make each song feel like they are a part of one big work of art. The clicks and clacks and how they all come together to form one being on tracks like "South Dakota" and "Nest" make each one worth noting and checking out. Download Real Life Color at Magic Man's bandcamp linked above.

Rimar || Higher Ground

2011-05-23T18:19:00.000-07:00

Rimar - Drv Me Crzy
[Last time] we got a touch of [Rimar] it was stand alone track "WAYS" from his newly released second album Higher Ground. That track alone was pretty satisfying, but now that it is in line with 8 other tracks, it's sort of the dull one of the bunch. Most of Rimar's previous work was just beat making that was never all that fulfilling, but all that has change now with Higher Ground. Higher Ground takes life through songs that echo R&B and even slower new-wave style tracks, like the album's title track and closer "Hi." Each song is another trip through a forgotten memory, whether it takes place in a roller ring, an old chevy, or some long forgotten house party, the rolling synths and pulsing back beats keep you hooked the entire time. You can sang the whole album (which I EXTREMELY recommend you do) over at Rimar's bandcamp [here].

Jewellers || Forward Life

2011-05-23T18:18:00.000-07:00

Jewellers - Forward Life
I'm not sure if the vocals in [Jewellers'] "Forward Life" are mirrored, reversed, another language, or even anything at all but regardless what they are they are absolutely tantalizing. "Absolutely tantalizing" is a trend that follows through all of Jewellers' album "Sleep Education." Whether it's the shattered vocals on songs like "Forward Life" or the distant, sort-of "hidden" sound of the band on tracks like "You Don't Know," each song captivates you in its own special way. You can sang a copy of "Sleep Education" over at Jewellers bandcamp [here].

Vows || Unreal Love

2011-05-18T19:43:00.000-07:00

Vows - Unreal Love
Softly played and loudly spoken jams comprise [Vows'] debut album "Winter's Grave" with 11 tracks of folk-rock grooves. Those 11 tracks range from acoustic hook heavy songs like "Anywhere You Go" to full-on jamborees such as album closer "Dead Ends." Whether you are looking for quiet jams to compliment your readings at night, or all out instrumental pieces with howling vocals to keep your cabin fresh and alive, Vows have got what you are looking for. Download "Winter's Grave" over at their bandcamp [here].

Femminielli - Vortex Sexuel

2011-05-16T18:36:00.000-07:00

Femminielli - Vortex Sexuel
When I first saw [Femminielli's] [soundcloud] I thought to myself, "Oh God not another ambient band, nobody needs any more of those," but man was I wrong. All of Femminielli's songs still have that ambient tinge to them, but have much more of a build than the genre's usual standards for builds. These songs escalate and have a peak too them that even though it isn't like a dubstep one where it blows your ears out of the water, it is enough for you to feel like you're getting something out of the piece. Femminielli has achieved himself a captivating sound with little-to-no "grip" from the song. They are all very easy to get into and should be listened too in the background, not directly.

Labyrinth Ear || Walk on the Moon (Arthur Russell Cover)

2011-05-13T21:22:00.000-07:00

Labyrinth Ear - Walk on the Moon (Arthur Russell Cover)
It's always a fantastic thing to open up my inbox and see a new song from [Labyrinth Ear]. It seems that in this installment they have taken a classic from 1980s folk/rock musician [Arthur Russell] and placed their own signature electro touch on the very smooth, calming "Walk on the Moon." Along with a bit of a bass boost and a very new wave-y touch to the guitar riff that keeps the song moving, they have given the track a sort of "sonic face-lift" making it a much more accessible track by today's standards. You can snag the track over at Labyrinth Ear's website (linked above) and can compare the cover to the original [here]. While you are there I would suggest checking out their "Oak EP," it's sublime.

No You Hang Up || Captain Craig

2011-05-10T19:07:00.000-07:00

No You Hang Up - Captain Craig
"Don't Call Me" is the first full length release from Calgary's [No You Hang Up] and the tenth release on [Meow Posse Records]. It's a collection of soft, hazy lo-fi jams that are beaten and battered with percussion and guitars that sound so barely there, yet so mellow it'll melt your soul. No You Hang Up have a raw, emotional sound behind their colorful album art that hooks you in an instant and hugs you so tight you can't resist. The color vocals are another drawing point of the album, showcased in the above song "Captain Craig." You can download the entire "Don't Call Me" over at Meow Posse's bandcamp [here].

Here's a funky batch of mix and matched songs all broken down and re-pieced back together sort of like the album art that accompanies it (pictured above). A groovy pot of assorted sounds and samples bursting at the seems with life and fluidity. Snag the whole album at Leann Grimes bandcamp [here].

cooltombs || Da Bowties Pasta

2011-04-25T15:02:00.000-07:00

&amp;lt;a href="http://cooltombs.bandcamp.com/album/da-bowties-pasta"&amp;gt;Da Bowties Pasta by cooltombs&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;
I'm honestly not quite sure what to make of all this, "this" being [cooltombs]. Cooltombs are Paris Leach and Nolan Conaway from New Paltz, NY and they are making some rather strange music. Now don't get the impression that it is bad-strange music because it is far, far from it, they have just opt for some.... different, titles for their songs and a rather wacky layout for their website (linked above). Warped synths and very 80's-esque drum beats drive "Da Bowties Pasta" into oblivion with such thrills as "Guido Dreams" and "100% Olive Garden." You can purchase the cassette of "Bowties" [here] from Responsible Records.

LIQUID SKULLS || DEAD IN YR EYES EP

2011-04-25T14:44:00.000-07:00

LIQUID SKULLS - I AM THE FLOOD
The above song along with "THE DAWNING" from [Liquid Skulls] is absolutely mind-boggling. Rattling and shaky much like the skeletons in the picture above, the "DEAD IN YR EYES" EP is a broken down cloud of sound and rhythm culminating into a picturesque scene much like one from a thriller film. Download "DEAD" at their bandcamp, linked above.

Lizard Kisses || Slow Bones

2011-04-25T14:43:00.000-07:00

Lizard Kisses - Slow Bones
Well now this is an interesting piece of technology. [Lizard Kisses'] newest single (jointly released with [BEKO Records]) is breaching new frontiers with the "CD-record." You can play it in your car, your living room, your portable CD player, anything that can play compact discs. But just when you thought that that was all it could handle, saddle up your record player and let that needle fly because it can also be played with the conventional turn table. Any nonbelievers can watch the video up above of "Hirono," the single solely received through purchasing the CD-record [here.] You can download "Slow Bones" b/w "Bottom Dollar" over at BEKO now.

Honeydrum || Vaction EP

2011-04-25T14:41:00.000-07:00

&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://honeydrum.bandcamp.com/album/vacation"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Vacation by Honeydrum&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;
[Honeydrum] makes mellow, chilled out songs that are warped and twisted to form sweet like sugar jams that are sure to smooth out any situation. ["Vaction"] is their 5th cassette released through one of our personal favorites, [amdiscs]. All 5 will soon be released as a box set plus a new EP that will hopefully be seeing a summer release. Keep checking in because this is an offer you do not want to miss.

Ford and Lopatin || Emergency Room

2011-04-16T00:06:00.000-07:00

Ford and Lopatin - Emergency Room
I love the [Human League]. I also love [Ford and Lopatin] (formerly Games). I'm pretty sure I just found my new playlist for the next month.

Universal Electricity || Head For The Ditch

2011-04-13T19:29:00.002-07:00

A couple days [ago] we let you know of a compilation coming out of all Neil Young covers, presented to us by friends [Vacation]. Well now it is here and it is sounding great. You can see the tracklist and where to grab individual songs [here] and you can snag the whole mix [here].

2011-04-13T19:29:00.000-07:00

Wax & Wane (Warrior Mix) by earthdelivery
[Gypsy Death Star], now that's a name. It is also a name that is a very accurate symbol of the style of music that is produced from said death star. Check out ghostly whispers of songs over GDS's website linked above, or their soundcloud, also linked above.

The Murder Act || Traum

2011-04-12T18:52:00.000-07:00

&amp;lt;a href="http://the-murder-act.bandcamp.com/album/traum"&amp;gt;Traum by The Murder Act&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;
I feel that if Depeche Mode had gone grit instead of new wave this is what they would of sounded like. [The Murder Act] have got themselves a very gritty-rock smash sound backed by a soothing voice, yelling at us as if he is distressed by all this noise about him. The imbalance between the two is what
is captivating about their sound. Grab their album "Traum" up above digitally, or picked it up on vinyl on the 25th of this month by pre-ordering it via email at "murdermurderact@gmail.com". They're also giving away their song "Repulsive Acts of Penetrative Entertainment" for free, which I severely suggest downloading now at their bandcamp.

Nattymari || An Astmmetrical Matrix

2011-04-11T20:03:00.000-07:00

nattymari presents an asymmetrical matrix by Nattymari2
Every year the ghosts and ghouls and creatures of the night culminate on one special evening. On this one special evening they pull off all their nice skin and smoke, and let the rotting flesh show. They all gather under an illuminated stage, lit by only one lone light hanging above a desk, which has only one mixer on it. A shadowy figure comes onto the stage and starts the annual rave of the undead, and I believe this just maybe the mix they've been looking for. Also you can download his split tape with [GuMMy†Be▲R], "100 Minutes of Foulness" [here].

Bossasaurus & Budo || The One/Lacerta

2011-04-07T18:49:00.000-07:00

&amp;lt;a href="http://bossasaurus.bandcamp.com/album/the-one-lacerta-remix-ep"&amp;gt;The One/Lacerta Remix EP by Bossasaurus&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;
Bossasaurus and Budo team up for a reworking of each others mellowed out, smooth beats on a the new single "The One/Lacerta." Each song originally isn't much a crank up the speakers kind of jam, but once each one gets their work into the hands of the other, shit hits the fan. Both remixes of "The One" and "Lacerta" are blown out of the proportions they once were built in and turned up a notch to rework your mind into another dimension. You can download all four songs, the originals and remixes, for free over at Bossasaurus's bandcamp, linked above.

Rebar and Plums || Autobiography of Civilized Decline

2011-04-07T18:37:00.000-07:00

Very raw and emotional. Where there is little, it stands tall, and I think a lot of artists try to do that, but fail at it because they try. As unfortunate as this is to say, this album will probably be one of the many overlooked gems of the internet, so please, prove me wrong. Info [here].

A rather pleasant ride through ambiance and introversion awaits all who decide to click that mystical play button just up above. [Pressed And], working with [It Is Rain In My Face], have built a castle of melodic moans and drones that come together in unison to form one solid line of rhythmic chanting and calling. It's a walk on the beach of spectacle and spectaculosity combined, just insert head phones, and you're there.

Purity Ring || Ungirthed

2011-03-22T22:51:00.000-07:00

Purity Ring - Ungirthed
Purity Ring - Ungirthed (Christian AIDS Remix)
"Ungirthed" is easily my favorite song at the moment. From its initial claps and bouncing vocal samples to waves of bass that keep you hooked, but don't blast you away like dubstep, it's a tornado of beauty and sound. And if that wasn't enough to keep you entranced, the ever mystical voice of lead singer Megan James, chants stanzas of beckoning calls. Then, as if that wasn't enough of a sonic euphoria, [Purity Ring's] masterpiece gets an overhaul from another recent favorite, [Christian AIDS]. AIDS takes the song, and smooths it out with some fuzz, but still retains that perfect vocal structure. Both are powerful songs, with enough strength to send you whirling out of your own brain. I'm on the edge of my seat to hear more, from both of these artists.

2011-03-22T21:08:00.000-07:00

So, so, so excited.

Plastice Flowers || White Walls Painted Black

2011-03-22T18:07:00.000-07:00

Music for when your feet hurt from a long day at work, or perhaps music for writing a story too, or perhaps cinematic trailer music... it's music for endless opportunities. Yeah, that's the one. [Plastic Flowers].

GOBBLE GOBBLE || Boring Horror

2011-03-17T20:59:00.000-07:00

GOBBLE GOBBLE - Boring Horror
Most songs get a little boring (and horrible to be relevant) when played over and over, but [GOBBLE GOBBLE'S] just get more and more captivating each time you press the play button. You can purchase their "Boring Horror" EP on vinyl now through label, deBonton, [here]. Why it was titled "Boring Horror" is beyond me, because it is far from it, I can tell that.

o F F / GR†LLGR†LL - ♡♡ (Live)

2011-03-17T19:28:00.000-07:00

God damn I need to get to one of these shows!

Nac/Hut Report || 142 Drugs (†‡† Remix)

2011-03-17T19:25:00.000-07:00

†‡† - 142 Drugs (Remix) by BR_nachutreport
It's the vocals that make this song truly chilling. How they melt in with the static screech that if amplified would make your ears bleed. The claps in and out, the pulsing beat, the drones that call and respond to get your heart pumping. Check out many other pieces that will have you all over the floor at Nac/Hut Report's [Soundcloud].

Labyrinth Ear || Snow White (DREAMTRAK DIAMOND SOUND)

2011-03-17T19:13:00.000-07:00

Snow White (DREAMTRAK DIAMOND SOUND) by Labyrinth Ear

Nattymari || DR4NK HOUR KOOL AID && Witch Made Klikk

2011-03-14T20:58:00.000-07:00

NATTYMARI - DR4NK HOUR KOOL AID by LOVE CULT
This is the first mix from the newly formed Witch Made Klikk. Now WMK is not so much a label, as it is... a club. It's a group of funky, fine, fresh-ass group of young boys doing what they love to do. Nattymari, GuMMy†Be▲R! Meszahline, baby ÅÜßRÊÿ, GI∆LLO , M 4 5 C 4 2 4, Zombelle, RAINNIAR and Sifaka Kong.

ArnHao || Love Fades (Video)

2011-03-07T19:12:00.002-08:00

ArnHao - Love Fades from Piece Productions on Vimeo.
Soothing is definitely the word.

Signs || Only

2011-03-07T19:12:00.001-08:00

Signs - Only
Very much more melodic in this dark, brooding new track from one of our new favorites, [Signs]. About halfway through this song it hit me on how much this reminds me of old Depeche Mode. The pulsing synths of maximum pitch and woozing drone of background warbling make this song, "Only", one of my new favorites, and it should be one of yours. Download the whole "Before Dreaming ep" [here].

The Little Brother Syndrome || Reed Stickle

2011-03-07T19:12:00.000-08:00

The Little Brother Syndrome - Reed Stickle
It's how the vocals clash with the piano in the beginning, but slowly work their way to familiarity with it that kills me with this song. If you can take two things that do not go to together too well, and make them bounce off each other in harmony, then that's [beautiful].

Gronxkey || Stumblin

2011-03-06T22:45:00.001-08:00

2011-03-02T20:25:00.000-08:00

We Once Had An Empire (Jungle Fiction Remix) by Jungle Fiction
It's an electronic [jungle] out there! And that ain't no fiction! Minimum Advice, Maximum Puns.

GuMMy†Be▲R & Nattymari || 100 Minutes of Foulness..Fool!

2011-03-02T20:18:00.000-08:00

I'm super bummed that I was gone for the release of the more than spectacular tape which combined the forces of two of our favorites, [Nattymari] and [GuMMy†Be▲R!]. Snag this tape in all its glory and power [here]. It's well worth the price.

The Rej3ctz || Cat Daddy

2011-03-02T20:06:00.000-08:00

Oh yeah, Cat Daddy.

Hard Mix || Defaults

2011-03-01T19:15:00.000-08:00

Oh, what a [gift] to come back too.

A Break.

2011-01-31T21:15:00.001-08:00

Hello All! We shall be taking a quick break from the daily rituals of Minimum Advice until about the end of February. We shall see you all then!

Vacation || Sister Mary Speaks In Tongues

2011-01-25T21:14:00.001-08:00

Vacation - Sister Mary Speaks In Tongues
Folky fun for the folky folks folkin' about in Folkton. [Vacation] in [Folktown].

Christian Aids || Fever (Demo)

2011-01-25T20:54:00.001-08:00

Christian Aids - Fever (Demo)
[Christian Aids] only have two songs at the moment, and quite frankly, I'm not going to stand for that. I need more, and I need it now. But I guess I can wait... but I don't know how long...

Memory Tapes || Today Is Our Life

2011-01-25T20:45:00.000-08:00

Memory Tapes - Today Is Our Life
God damn, they just keep getting better and better, Memory Tapes is a tour du force of enjoyable music. An upcoming [LP] was announced, I'm giddy with excitement!

Roberto Clemente Rookie Card Early 2011 Mix

2011-01-25T18:33:00.000-08:00

[Roberto Clemente Rookie Card] is a radio show on southwestern Pennsylvania’s WCAL 91.9 fm. The show can be heard Wednesdays from 12pm till 2pm EST, or you can stream it live [here]. In celebration of the new year, they have thrown together a mix of their favorite artists and it coincides very well with the day to day life of the average man narrated by his ipod. You can stream and download it over at their soundcloud [here].

Lost Boy || Spring Wings EP

2011-01-23T11:38:00.001-08:00

Lost Boy - Glass
A lot quieter than previous work we've heard from Lost Boy, but than doesn't say anything about the quality. Quite jams to rest the eyes too are in an abundance of 5 at the Spring Wings EP. Snag it [here].

Dj Dinosaur || Galactic Disaster

2011-01-23T11:23:00.001-08:00

Galactic Disaster by DJ Dinosaur

Thai SShipwreck (remastered) by DJ Dinosaur

Labyrinth Ear || Navy Light (4am Mix)

2011-01-19T15:31:00.000-08:00

Navy Light (4am Mix) by Labyrinth Ear
Navy Light was an electro-dance killer from the [Oak EP] that had us groovin' all night long. Well now [Labyrinth Ear] has reworked it, and it sounds ultimately pleasurable to the ears. -Gasm's of all sorts ensue...

Signs || After Waking EP

2011-01-16T22:44:00.001-08:00

Signs - Stormy
This new release from [White Moon Recordings] will surely have you with your arms in the air. WMR doesn't usually put out very electronic-heavy releases, but I can understand why they did with this. [Signs] is a rather dark experiment that will warp your ears and should be played with minimal light and maximum distortion. Download the After Waking EP [here].

Orange Blossom Flyover || Someone Like You

2011-01-11T19:14:00.000-08:00

Orange Blossom Flyover - Someone Like You
An acoustic sound that's dark. A sound that is not made enough, and when honed in on and perfected, it can sound amazing. [Orange Blossom Flyover] are so close to reaching that perfect sound, one that will just melt the face right off your body. So close, I can almost taste it...

Collage Party || Eri

2011-01-11T19:04:00.000-08:00

Collage Party - Eri
Collage Party - Leaving
[Collage Party] has dropped upon us two brand new tracks. These two seem to push for a more acoustic sound than previous work, but we love it all the same. I expect nothing less from anyone else in the world, because simply, these songs are just too good.

Lizard Kisses || Sleeping In

2011-01-11T18:50:00.000-08:00

Lizard Kisses - Sleep Talkin'
Insomnia is an issue for many all about the world. Perhaps a reason why is they have issues getting to sleep with all the racket and static that plagues the industrial environment. Public transportation, private transportation, highways, street cleaners, garbage men, you name it. Let your eyes relax and your mind wander with a softer sound. [Lizard Kisses] will lull you into a state of tranquility, whether you use them to sleep or not. Calmness takes over, and you simply, let go... You can snag their entire album "Sleeping In" at their bandcamp (linked above), and when you enjoy that so much you need to have it in a physical format, you can purchase it [here] with a personal polaroid included. There's only 40, so hop on that now.

Nattymari || Winter on Ibiza

2011-01-07T17:38:00.000-08:00

NATTYMARI presents Winter on Ibiza by Nattymari
[Nattymari's] mixes have always painted a sort of bleak picture, utilizing that part of our brain that interpret sound to make us envision a rather grey environment. His ability to mix top 40 tracks from the likes of Kesha and Jesse McCartney down to a bare scrape of their original sound is always prevalent in its ever abusive form, only this time, this mix seems a little more desolate. A lot less engaging than the others, but never the less gripping. Easily one of my favorites of his.

Grafton Primary || The Eagle

2011-01-07T17:27:00.000-08:00

The Eagle by Grafton Primary
Australian electro-rockers [Grafton Primary] are working on their sophomore album as we speak, and our first serving from the record is single, "The Eagle." Full of catchy rhythms and club banger aesthetics "The Eagle" is hot and fiery... perhaps it's a phoenix? There's a thought. Snag it over at their [soundcloud] along with a plethora of other bounce-heavy remixes.

Herohustler || Chillwaving

2011-01-07T16:03:00.000-08:00

chillwaving by herohustler ッ
A while back we reported on chillwave mix master [Beings], and now he's back with a new mix and a new name. [Herohustler] is the same deal with new packaging, and this latest mix, is easily one of the best.

Urberget || bakom dessa blödande ögon

2011-01-07T15:54:00.000-08:00

Need a hug? Hug [Urberget].
Please, I insist.

Jungle Fiction || Transhuman

2011-01-03T22:52:00.000-08:00

Jungle Fiction - Transhuman
Couple with our recent [DatA] and [Tetra] post, WE'RE MAKING OUR OWN FUCKING TRON LEGACY SOUNDTRACK. Grab more rather real, electro-space jams over at Jungle Fiction's [myspace], including their free, stellar Heat Of The Night EP.

Magick Mountain || One For My Ego (Holy Other Remix)

2011-01-03T14:05:00.001-08:00

One For My Ego (Holy Other Remix) by factmag
[Yr Love] was a void of a track that took us deeper into the dark, and [Holy Other's] new track, a remix of a Magick Mountain song, is taking us into space. Past all the stars, all the galaxies, and all the voids we had previously journeyed into. Going where no creature has ever gone, with only a pulsing bass leading us. Holy Other never fails to capture anyone who steps into range of his dark, soul-stealing noise.

Hard Mix || Callers

2011-01-03T13:21:00.001-08:00

Hard Mix - Callers
A new rather pitched-down, whirling tune from our [favorite of 2010] to wring in the new year.

Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands || Mystery Club

2010-12-26T15:43:00.000-08:00

Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands - Flashlight Tag
Hot off the heels of their latest album, [Sixteen Dreams], [Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands] release a new, free, 7 track ep for all to enjoy entitled Mystery Club. Sixteen Dreams was a scream a second and this time Waylon and the gang have opted for the quieter, more lyrically based sound. This new quiet record is a great mood-setter for the after holiday rush. Flashlight Tag is about masturbating to Black Flag, go download [Mystery Club] now.

Hear Hums || Psyche Cycle

2010-12-26T13:16:00.001-08:00

Hear Hums - Woo
[Hear Hums] do it all themselves. The DIY aspect of music is held in epitome here. The music, the art, the videos, all of it. If I tried to run my band like that I think I might explode, but whatever Hear Hums are putting in their water, it's working. Their sophomore album, Psyche Cycles, is like taking ambient music, and injecting it with some flavor and life to spice up that open space it occupies. You can stream the whole album at their bandcamp (linked above) and you can download the whole thing [here]. And after your done enjoying it (which I know you will) you can buy the cassette tape over at Crash Symbols [here]. Check out an ever mend-bending video for the albums two opening tracks "Cerebellum/Woo" below:

Horse Macgyver || Void EP

2010-12-26T00:53:00.001-08:00

Horse Macgyver - Tetanus Wine
Having 3 (rather less than more engaging) monikers, makes getting any sort of knowledge on [Horse Macgyver] ( formally known as _v_o_i_d_ and ///▲▲▲\\\ ) a relative pain in the ass. But in the end it is totally worth it. HM's ability to take sounds and morph them into a crystalline ball with a liquid center of metallic bliss is unbelievable. All it takes is 4 tracks and your hooked for life. Horse Macgyver, is equal too or greater than crack. Just with this you don't die from overdosing, but I'm pretty sure at some point I saw heaven. Where ever it was, it was beautiful, and you need to go there too. Snag Horse Macgyver's "Void ep" [here].

Tetra || Ozma

2010-12-25T23:50:00.001-08:00

Tetra - Ozma
The lack of information is fine, it's the lack of other spacey dance jams that's got me in knots. Ozma is killer and should be utilized in every club across America. Now all [Tetra] needs are a couple more... and SOON. Tron Legacy should of got these guys.

Chrimbus

2010-12-25T18:31:00.000-08:00

Have a good one.

Primitive Noyes || Ideation

2010-12-22T12:51:00.000-08:00

Primitive Noyes - Take If Off (And Untie For Once)
The holiday season is a stressful time for many, with the shopping, and the cleaning for family. Well when the day rolls around and everyone is done and just wishing for that day of relaxation, let it be with [Primitive Noyes] soothing new album "Ideation." There are plenty of rather confusing, but descriptive, adjectives I could use to describe this album, and some rather not, but I'll keep it simple none the less. Take a load off this holiday season, get in a warm tub, pop on this sweet jam, and just close your eyes, and go to sleep. Trust me, it's totally worth it.

Clint Mansell || Black Swan OST

2010-12-21T13:28:00.000-08:00

Clint Mansell - A New Swan Queen
If you haven't seen this yet get your ass to the local cinema immediately because this is easily one of the best movies this year. [Darren Aronofsky] slaughters again, and right beside him is [Clint Mansell] with his terrific work getting you into all the moods that movie requires you to be in via sound. Inside the theater and out, this album will give you chills. Grab it [here].

The Little Brother Syndrome || Inertia

2010-12-20T12:11:00.000-08:00

The Little Brother Syndrome - Inertia
After taking a little break one of our [favorites] of 2010, The Little Brother Syndrome, have returned in full swing with a slew of rather shortly lived songs for you to feast upon. Check them all out via myspace [here].

Bossasaurus || Lacerta

2010-12-15T18:32:00.000-08:00

If you were a fan of those couple Bossasaurus songs we [posted] a while back, then it's time to grab yourself the full length LP that is now out holding those tracks. Snag "Lacerta" [here].
