A Message To All

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!

It's been way too long since I last heard this

Vacation || Locust Lane EP

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].

The Holy Ghost || Little Mind

The Holy Ghost - Little Mind
More beach for you, yah bum.
[here]

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

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 \\

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

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

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

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.

Daniel Klag || Weird Fiction

Daniel Klag - 'Weird Fiction' LP - 2011 (AMD004/AMDD064) by AMDISCS
Grab a copy of [Daniel Klag's] "Weird Fiction" on heavy grey/brown vinyl [here] via [AMDISCS], or snag it digitally right above.

Urberget || Resans Maskerade Demokrati

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)

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].

Boy Party || I Saw You

Boy Party - I Saw You
"Tags: beach, garage, lo-fi, rock, surf, North, Carolina"
Grab more of it [here]. 

Cop Magnet || Alexander Preview

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

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

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

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

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

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].
