the republic tigers // buildings and mountains

The Kansas City-based four-man-showThe Republic Tigers have been making music for several years now (since 2008) and yes, there many fine reasons to adore the sounds they so reliably make.

This song has a gorgeously wide panoramic feel to it, which makes me want to just spread my wings and fly into outer space and back again. Yeah, it’s so good. Check out the other songs on the No Man’s Land EP (2011) after the jump. Peace. Continue reading “the republic tigers // buildings and mountains”

poliça // the maker (gardens and villa remix)

You’ve likely noticed (if you have a history here) that I’ve reviewed several songs by Poliça and here is yet another reason for me to continue my on-going admiration for this great Minnesota band.

Dropping August 14th, Mom + Pop Music will reissue Poliça‘s recently released debut album Give You The Ghost. SPIN.com described the Ryan Olson and Jim Eno produced band’s sound as “tough, R&B-bent, live wire electronica that doubles as Auto-Tune delight.”

In Addition, Poliça (Channy Leaneagh, Chris Bierden, Drew Christopherson and Ben Ivascu) will also release The Dark Star EP with reinterpretations of tracks by the likes of Exitmusic, Aluxe and others. Good stuff. Here, “The Maker,” the impressive production duo Gardens & Villa have worked their collective magic for the Dark Star Remix EP. I can’t wait to here the rest of the EP. Peace.
