Here’s “On,” from the grungy blues three-piece The Treats, off their latest album Sir Unicorn. Listen to the entire album here.

So I am enduring the snowmeggedon here in DC area. Â 2 feet of snow in two days… not normal. Â Anyways, some good came out of this blizzard because I discovered Lo-Fi-Fnk’s new single “Marchin In”. Â It is catchy, funky, and Swedish. Â What more could you ask for? Â I don’t have many details about the single or whether there is a new LP coming soon. Â I do know you can get more info about their 2006 release Boylife here. Â Enjoy!

Mushpot Records just sent me a tasty little tune from Chicago’s Yawn, off their self-released Yawn EP. Great song, great EP. If you like Panda Bear, Animal Collective, & the like, you’ll really dig these guys!

A few weeks ago I did a post on Surfer Blood’s single “Swim” and their great new record Astro Coast. Â I hope you all are enjoying it as much as I am… Here is the very strange video for “Swim”. Â Enjoy!
Here’s a quickie. Alan Wilkis sent me his latest remix of one of the more talked about bands of 2010, and one that we’ve mentioned quite a few times. This is his remix of Yeasayer’s “Ambling Alp”. Enjoy!

Back in the earlier days of Newdust I did a post on Junk Culture’s latest album West Coast, which I’ve been listening to on a regular basis since its release back in October. Here’s the brand new video for the title track, “West Coast.”
This is one of those albums you can just lose yourself in. Berry Weight’s latest, Music For Imaginary Movies, is a fantastic head-first dive into some intense, beat-driven, dark & moody jazz tunes. AKA Apewok & Stab, they’ve been described as ‘a soulful electro-organic-space-jazz duo, harmonizing storybook-like melodies and cinematic atmospheres.’ I couldn’t have said it better if I tried. This album really draws you in right from the beginning, and never lets up. Here are my two favorites from the album.

So the new Spoon album has been out now for about two weeks, and I have yet to listen to it. Shame on me for being both a dedicated Spoon fan for nearly a decade now, and an avid member of the indie music community for not being all over this when it came out. But I have come to my senses and have just purchased the album (you can do so as well on the band’s merch site). I did some YouTube searching to see what live footage has been thrown up so far, and I came across this excellent live recording of “The Mystery Zone” from their performance on Santa Monica, California’s KCRW. The performance aired on January 20th as a part of the station’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” show program. You can watch the entire performance on the station’s website.
Wow. That’s all I can say about Tindersticks‘ latest album Falling Down A Mountain. From track one onward, there’s never a dull moment in this album. It has a real rootsy, bluesy soul vibe to it, & Stuart Staples’ vocals and lyrics are powerful & heartfelt. My favorites are “Keep You Beautiful”, “Black Smoke”, & “No Place So Alone”. If you’ve got the time, give this album a solid listen. You’ll be glad you did.
