moe’s implosion // mastodonte

Moe’s Implosion has been (unfortunately) an unknown band of sorts on this side of the Atlantic. And really that’s too bad, because these guys are pretty amazing. Don’t take my word for it, check out the band’s video for the song, “Mastodonte“. This track spits coal-fired rock and leaves you thoroughly wrung out and wanting more. The guys from Montijo, Portugal are the real deal, blending elements of skate punk with gorgeously complicated riffs akin to math rock. Check out the bands 2011 LP Light Pollution, from which “Mastodonte” is taken. Peace. Continue reading “moe’s implosion // mastodonte”

fur coat // mind over matter

“Mind Over Matter is a way of thinking that we have,” says Muñoz. “We believe if you think what you want and you visualize it you can get it, and with the power of mind you can overcome any obstacle.”
Sounds like a sound philosophy to me. The Venezuelan DJ/Producer duo Fur Coat will release their debut Mind Over Matter LP in September. On which you can expect more of what the South American mixologists are renowned for; sick beats and totally danceable tracks. Sources say the album will combine new production, as well as songs from their two previous EPs. Looks like the two tracks after the jump didn’t make it onto the album. But that just means there will be more new stuff to look forward to, and chances are they’ll blow your mind. Peace. Continue reading “fur coat // mind over matter”

big scary // falling away (official video)

Joanna Syme and Tom Iansek and Big Scary. I agree, an odd name for a duo putting out music that is anything but scary. The song is called, “Falling Away,” and it is taken from BS’s debut LP Vacation. The video was directed by renowned director Daniel Cummings of Picture Machine Productions (think Bon Iver videos).

“The song itself is about growing up – it’s about being told life’s lessons as opposed to learning them for yourself,” says Big Scary’s Tom Iansek. “But the video is a journey into the mind of an older man struggling with dementia – trying to recapture a younger version of himself. I love the dichotomy between these two angles.”

Big Scary is another shining example of the great music being produced Down Under. I’m thinking, get ready for an Aussie invasion. Peace. Continue reading “big scary // falling away (official video)”

twin trip // man on the moon



Twin Trip is the project of multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and vocalist Felix Penny. Keyboard/guitarist Gigie Hall and bassist Eric Olsen complete the trio. The band’s self-titled debut album dropped in April. The song, “Man On The Moon,” is all kinds of nice. It reminds me a lot of Radiohead “Subterranean Homesick Alien”. But what do I know? Hey, don’t answer that. Peace. Continue reading “twin trip // man on the moon”
