June Bloom Playlist - Download it
Jstreet and I got ambitious last week and decided that we’d make a playlist every week of the top songs we liked from the music we got that week. Here are my favorites. It was a good week.
Download the folder here, unzip it, and drag into itunes.
(I was too lazy to change the metadata, so it will probably appear in a different order in your itunes)

At My Heels by Twin Shadow
The more I listen to this album, the more I find my self relating to the lyrics. As stated before, lyrics are the last thing I pay attention to. If I had to rank my interest in a song it goes like this:
- melody and phrasing
- groove
- harmony
- dynamics and use of sonic space
- atmospherics (second tier layers, usually subtle)
- lyrics
Twin Shadow takes me to old places I forgot about with his lines. I love his moves.
This track in particular has a chimey, looped beat that could fit on any Summer mixtape.
This kid’s bass-lines are no joke either. Get the album and save a space for it on your 2010 Top Ten list.

Chamber from Down Under: Menagerie
Don’t let these stylish pictures of gingers fool you. Aussie talent Menagerie (aka Max Hardy and friends) is pumping out some serious tunes that fall on the right-brained side of Grizzly Bear and Gamble House. The soundcloud account says “Lo Wave” but it’s more like Chamberwave. Who cares; it’s good stuff and you’ve gotta hear tracks like “Fingers Grow” a few times before you can navigate the soundscape.
D’load this ish for free on the Cloud here.
behold, Max’s hollowbody guitar:
and here’s Gary Busey circa Big Wednesday:

Gauntlet Hair: Heave.
“Imagine the gorgeous gents of Duran Duran dressing up as Liars and showing up to the beardo mountain Brooklyn commune to pants the guys in Yeasayer…”
It’s been far too long since we’ve posted something from Mexican Summer. Shame on us. To repent our sin, here’s the b-side to Gauntlet Hair’s freshly pressed (and hotly anticipated) 7”. I’ve been itching for more Gauntlet Hair ever since “I Was Thinking…” first tore up my speakers, and “Out, Don’t..”/”Heave.” deliver my fix quite nicely. While the jet-propelled (and oddly punctuated) “Out, Don’t..” breaks out the same dancey guitar stabs and soaring, rhythmic harmonies as “I Was Thinking…”, “Heave.” shows these guys in full-on attack mode. Pitting pounding, militant drums against a moaning buzz-saw, it grabs you by the neck and refuses to let go (if only it were two minutes longer).
It’s amazing how lo-fi these guys are considering they sound sooo damn good. However, “Out, Don’t..” is the track to put yr chips into on this 7”. It basically follows the same formula (e.g., delayed guitar chirps and yelping reverby vocals) as “I Was Thinking…”.

Premiere | Dream Cop :: Warm Thrash (MillionYoung Remix)
It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Blacksburg, Virginia’s Dream Cop, but that’s soon to change. He’s got a five-song EP entitled Basement Tapes coming out December 7th on Output Noise Records, and this “Warm Thrash” remix is the first taste from that release. Taking the original version and adding hints of his signature sound, MillionYoung turns this one into his own, especially during the last two minutes. It twinkles quite a bit more than Dream Cop’s original, but that’s to be expected with Mike Diaz in the mix.
It’ll be featured alongside both the original and extended versions of “Warm Thrash,” and accompanied by the title track and another remix, so be sure to grab the EP in December.
yeah, Dream Cop. way to switch up yr ish mid-song. one moment youre slipping off my pants, the next moment we’re playing Daytona USA on SEGA. you win Dream Cop!

Sandhills by The Coral
The Coral have been cranking out stuff for awhile now. I remember listening to their albums back in the double ought and thinking “decent indie classic rock type of stuff with a spooky twist”. Apparently they’ve matured into what you now here. How laid back is that hooky chorus (reminds me of America)? It’s like the fizz that comes off of a fresh poured diet coke.

STAR SLINGER // ELIZABETH FRASER [COCTEAU TWINS REWORK]
New track for y’all. Reworking one of my fave bands Cocteau Twins.
Right. On. Star. Slinger. “Heaven or Las Vegas” is classic dopeness. I also dig the slide guitar in the Japancakes cover version.
On a similar note, Dunian used a Cocteau Twins sample in his excellent “Mind Body Mind”. I had to write him on myspace to confirm the sample was from “Essence” off of the Four-Calendar Cafe album. If any remixers are listening, please please do a remix of “Pur”.
