It’s been a minute since we heard from the dynamic duo of The Count & Sinden. After dropping their monster collaborative 2011 debut LP, Mega Mega Mega, via Domino Records. But lo and behold here they are set to release a remix album. Next week Josh Harvey and Graeme Sinden aka TC&S are dropping their Mega Mega Remix LP. The album consists of 12-dope tracks from such cut creators as Canblaster, Dave Nada, Throwing Snow, Lone,and Hot City. Below, check out the track “You Make Me Feel So Good” (Throwing Snow Remix). Peace.
Death Cab For Cutie – Doors Unlocked And Open (Cut Copy Remix)
It’s easy for me to get excited about anything related to Ben Gibbard and DCFC. But when I heard Cut Copy‘s remix of Death Cab’s “Doors Unlocked And Open” I nearly peed my boot-cuts. It isn’t too often you hear a track by Death Cab For Cutie spinning at such high rpms, but this is exactly what you’re getting here. Cut Copy has made this track quite the danceable one. Death Cab For Cutie‘s forthcoming EP release will be a collection of remixes resurrected from their 2011 LP Codes And Keys. This remix by Cut Copy will be included, check it out below. Preorder the EP now at Death Cab For Cutie‘s webpage. Peace.
Chairlift – Peculiar Paradise
Straight out of Brooklyn, NYC comes the futuristic/retro trio Chairlift. There is clear musical references to 80;s and 90’s era pop, and if I’m not mistaken there is some Janet Jackson sampling going on. Currently, I am really digging the cut “Peculiar Paradise”, (click the link below to hear it). I love how their recent music inhabits several different elements at once: embracing the psychedelic, hazy electro and provocative signatures of R&B simultaneously. I also included the video for an older track titled “Bruises”. Check it out. Peace
Blood Orange – Champagne Coast
Devonté Hynes is one of those people you never heard of, but you may be familiar with their work unawares. Mr. Hynes has produced a lot of music, most notably for Florence & The Machine, Theophilus London, and Solange Knowles just to name drop a few. Although he has produced music for himself in the past it is his new material that is shining bright all on it’s own. Blood Orange is the product of so much blood, sweat and tears, no pun intended. Seriously it’s akin to gospel music in how it moves the listener with heart conviction. It has taken almost 2 years to complete, with so many ups and downs along the way it almost didn’t see the light of day. But I for one am thrilled to see, or rather hear, its magic and power. Check out the release “Champagne Coast” and let it swirl through your head on repeat. Peace.
AMTRAC – Hearts Not Made Of Gold
Caleb Cornett hails from eastern Kentucky, although he sounds like he was born somewhere in the Centaurus A galaxy and has come to earth to save us from poor musical choices. However he got here, is irrelevant. In his current state he is commonly known as AMTRAC and we’re damn lucky he chose our planet to call home. His latest LP Came Along released via Super Music Group was released September 27th. So, if you like this you may want to cop the whole album. I’m digging “Hearts Not Made of Gold” just fine. Peace.
cherub // man of the hour lp
These guys weren’t even on my radar until my cuz Quinci tapped my shoulder. Just goes to show your ears can’t be everywhere all the time. But really that is the spirit of Mitten Mouth Music. Sharing. ‘Cause sharing is caring. But on the real, the best suggestions in my opinion are from the people who know you best. Ok, let’s talk about Cherub. This is the last sound you’d expect to hear coming out of Nashville, TN home of the Grand Old Opry.
But Jordan Kelley and Jason Huber have built quite the hipster Frankenstein of sound below the Mason-Dixon Line. This is 100% pure future hi-octane soul music. The Man of the Hour EP will bathe your brain in a purple haze and give you the munchies for a warm body next to yours. Regardless of the inevitable Passion Pit and MGMT references these guys are on some next level shit. Cherub is mining the Electro-Funkadelic-Prince Roger Nelson-Neo-Soul vibe.
And boy have hit the mother-lode. With songs like “Love You Right”, “Disco Inferno”, “Goodbye Winter“ and the seductive closing title track “Man of the Hour” Cherub is clearly on the some lover boy thematics. The duo known as Cherub are beyond cool. They’ve transcended way up into the stratosphere where tarnished angels wear wicked grins and smoke blunts of unadulterated rainbows. So, take off your cool and cozy up to Cherub. Listen and download the EP below. Peace. Continue reading “cherub // man of the hour lp”

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.
