And whilst donning such aural straight jacket worthy apparel one’s ears will sway and swoon as they’re drawn into the absolute hypnotic seduction of this incredible 5-track experiment into the depraved synapses of beautifully mad MAD men. Brilliant!

Here is what the band had to offer in regards to this spiraling sojourn into badassery, “Timothy Miller of Cursed Earth Corporation approached us many moons ago about doing a remix of Sunderland. Since we love collaborating and remixes, it was a no brainer. Tim began working on the song, and his passion for the material got us wanting to do remixes ourselves! Thus, this surprise remix EP!”

This writer is hoping and praying like a repentant politician (yet not wholly contrite) of Weinerlian or Spitzerlian (you pick) proportions that this becomes an annual “thing”. But alas who listens to moi? Peace.

P.S. My fav is the first track Sunderland (Cursed Earth Corporation Remix) it is epitome of what a remix should be, for it elevates without throwing a middle-finger in the face of the original.

While you’re at it take a snort from the inspiring and euphoria inducing ode God’s Whisper. After listening you’ll arrive at the same conclusion. Raury is kind of a big deal. However, his true gift isn’t sharing his energy but in inspiring others to be the change they want to see in the world. Sounds like a pretty good game plan to me. Peace.

J Dilla, Portishead, Caribou, Panda Bear and The Roots, etc., were influences for sure, but Jones crafted a style not of mere imitation, but one which reflected a personality rooted in his own view of what music should be. Shortly thereafter, he began self-releasing tracks, eventually crafting a 7-inch and CD on Young Turks. Later, as he toured as the keyboardist to Washed Out he picked up an acoustic guitar and composed his debut-full length, Velvet Changes, released on Carpark in early 2013. In support of Velvet Changes, Dog Bite embarked on an extensive North American winter tour with label mate Toro Y Moi. The two marked the occasion with a split 7″.

With the forthcoming release, Tranquilizers. The sophomore LP transcends the reverie state of Velvet Changes in pursuit of a darker, more full-bodied sound. Tranquilizers migrates into a dreamy sonic realm enveloped in its own soulful influence. Peace.

You can pre-order the Tranquilizers album via the Car Park store.

Little known DJ/Producer Popeska hails from the ATL, and although you may not know his name just yet I suspect you’ll hear more from this young up and coming beat maker in the years to come. Especially if he keeps droppin’ bombs like, “You’ll Never Know” and 2011’s “Back To The Streets”, it’s a banga’!. Crank it! Peace.

Who says I don’t know how to rock it out? Strap yourself in for the megalithic ride that is Torche and their latest rock stomp “Reverse Inverted” is simply awesomely breath stealing! I’ve a feeling you won’t mind at all the way their music rattles your spinal column and leaves your brain thoroughly beleaguered, yet smiling stupidly in it’s thrall.  The bands latest release, Harmonicraft, breaks new ground and is a bit of a departure from their critically acclaimed LP Meandrethal (2008). You can get the this song and the album immediately on iTunes and Amazon. Peace.

When I listen to the grudge-rockabilly, slightly post-punk sound that is Killing Kuddles, I hear an artist pouring out his soul towards an idyllic destination. And like all good destiny’s, it remains mostly one within his mind’s eye. It is faint, and no, he may not know what getting there will look like. However, he knows it will nonetheless feel righteous, and worthwhile. It is generally understood that there are no true paths to getting there, whatever ‘there’ means. But, I also suspect Elwood Kuddles wouldn’t want it any other way.  Because being formulaic is not his bag, he’d rather play it loosey–goosey, with room enough to grow and embellish, and more importantly, he needs space arrive on his own terms. Listen to the 5-song collection of the Waking Up Older EP. It sounds like a good coming-of-age story work filled with heartache, longing, and a new awareness and maturity. These songs are his struggle upon an unknowable path and they sound raw and sweet, and there is hungry guitar licks everywhere. Peace.

In 2oo3, a lone would be apprentice of music-making (Jordan Jeffares) sat in his chambre à coucher constructing and conjuring songs from his frenetic mind, (think Dumbledore using a Legilimency spell to extract memories, yep I’m a HP geek too). The results eventually manifested what we know of today as the four-piece band Snowden. Several EPs followed: Snowden EP (2005), Black Eyes 7″ (2005), Licorice EP (2005), Fuel Of The Celebration (2007), and Slow Soft Syrup (2010). And yes, there was the counter-culture indie music scene favorite Anti-Anti in 2006. Jordan Jeffares, Chandler Rentz, Corinne Lee and David Payne are the real deal, and there is the most excellent scuttlebutt, that Snowden will return to the airwaves with release of a new album via (Kings of Leon) Serpents & Snakes imprint. Me, excited! Peace.
