Modeselektor – (ft. Thom Yorke)

Modeselektor ft. Thom Yorke

Anyone who really knows moi is aware of my affinity for all things Radiohead in general, and my particular admiration for the genius that is Thom Yorke. So, when it was announced that Modeselektor would be featuring Thom Yorke on a few songs on its forthcoming album Monkeytown I was nonetheless elated. So, check out these two leaked gems, “Shipwreck” and “This”. True, Modeselektor is a force even without the added vocals of Mr. Yorke, but combining the two together makes for some pretty potent electric mojo. This only adds fuel to the fire that is my anticipation for the full length album. Hurry up already. Peace.

Here’s a run down on the tracklist:

Zechs Marquise – Getting Paid

Zechs Marquise - Getting Paid

How ironic, just last week I was talking with a friend (Kyle) about how I can’t wait until something new from the Mars Volta came out. Although Zech Marquise aren’t the Mars Volta however the proximity is close, super close. Zech Marquise brothers Marfred (bass) and Marcel (drums/keyboard) Rodríguez-López have a sibling in Omar Rodríguez-López , well you know who he is,right?  Nonetheless, since Zech Marquise 2009 debut of Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare, fans (me included) have been eagerly awaiting the release of the band’s sophomore album, which drops September 27th.

Below is just a sample to whet your appetite, and it has all the elements you have grown to expect from a  Zech Marquise project. Crank it LOUD!

P.S. Also, stream Zech Marquise’s previous LP Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare below.

The Generationals – Ten Twenty Ten – Actor Caster

Generationals - Actor-Caster

Like most people I like fighters. I’m not talking about street brawlers or mixed martial artists. For me a fighter is someone who will not give up on their dreams, regardless. The Generationals  are such rarefied folk. After college unlike most of their peers they didn’t head off and find a safe job. Instead they chased a dream. Thumbs up to dream chasers the world over. Funny how life is, but regardless of the odds Ted Joyner and good friend and fellow band mate Grant Widmer are carving out a bright spot in the limelight. More than likely you’ve heard their Buddy Hollyesque song “Ten-Twenty-Ten”. But there is so much more to the Actor-Caster LP. One of my favorites is the song “I Promise”, with its jangling guitar mid-tempo beat, it makes me want to get out of bed and do something. The song is energetic without being pushy, in that is doesn’t try too hard to win me over. In a world of in your face posturing, one gets the feeling that these guys are really about having a good time doing what they like doing best, making good music. I also posted the “Ten-Twenty-Ten” video, you know at times its nice to have a visual to go along with you finger snappin’ and toe tappin’. And since the album dropped in March it is available now. Peace.

Friends – I’m His Girl

Friends - I'm His Girl

21st Century Blondie?  Maybe, but whatever the driving force behind Brooklyn band Friends they know how to strut their stuff. Listen to the song “I’m His Girl”, and it is easy to see their bravado is more than show and tell. Lead singer Samantha Urbani vocals hold up well with the post-punk sound that Friends embodies. And the bass line that threads so funkily throughout the song “I’m His Girl” is thick like black strap molasses in January. Check out the other tracks as well and let them man handle your ears for a bit. By the way their album drops late October. Peace.

Palais Royal Blue – Leopard of Honour

Palais Royal Blue - Leopard of Honour

There is a lot of great music coming from our brethren and sistren from across the pond. So much so, it is increasingly difficult not to be impressed. For instance, one listen to the sparkling gem of “Leopard of Honour” by Palais Royal Blue and you may just board a Lufthansa flight and fly into Manchester, UK to thank him. I love the plush and vapory other-worldly sound. Plus, its not too heavy. I can move through it effortlessly like star-stuff shooting across the dark scrim of night sky. Just the right amount of dream atmosphere to smooth over realities rough edges. The album is set for release October 10th. David Roocroft you are the space-jam man. Peace.

Sola Rosa – Turn Around (Remixes)

Sola Rosa - Turn Around ft. Iva Lamkum

Alright I’m out of chill mode, for now. Up next I’m digging into something funky and a bit spicy. Enter Sola Rosa and several remixes off their track “Turn Around” featuring Iva Lamkum. However, the complete Remixes LP Get It Together dropped August 2010 and offers a sampling of the variety of music they’ve produced over the years. In that sense the Remixes release is a superb primer to introduce you to the majesty of Sola Rosa. Pump it.

Entresol – Formal Matter (The Remixes )

Entresol - Formal Matter | The Remixes

From the last few posts one can immediately discern that I am in a decidedly chill frame of mind. Pushing the chill theme further, check out the Entresol Former Matter EP. It is lushness personified, with its sonic beats and soothing synths topped with placid vocals. Not really sure when I’m getting off this celestial roller coaster. But for now I’m just enjoying the view from way up here above the clouds. I really like the “Danny Daze Flip It” Mix the best. Check it.

Cavaliers of Fun – Sharing Space Secrets

Cavaliers of Fun - Sharing Space Secrets

The universe created music for every conceivable situation, right? Right now I feeling pretty chill and so to soundtrack this particular mood I am playing one man band Cavaliers of Fun . I like the spacey sound, and I am set adrift upon rifts of intergalactic beats pelting my eardrums like cotton candy asteroids. You get the idea. The Sharing Space Secrets EP is the perfect little sound pill for whatever ails you. Thank you Ricco Vitali. Peace.

Neon Indian – Polish Girl

Neon indian - Era Extraña

It’s not that I have been resisting Neon Indian, not at all. But with the release of the single “Polish Girl” from the album Era Extraña I am finally paying attention. Admittedly, I am not much of a follower, so you’ll notice that I may not post an artist or band just to keep up with everyone else. Hey, its just the way I do things. My dictum is, “If I don’t like a band I won’t post them,” its that simple. I do like Polish Girl as well as few other tracks on the LP Era Extraña. Click on the link to Neon Indian’s webpage and check out the entire album.
