Mutual Spirits is a damn fine split 12″ by Mutual Benefit & Holy Spirits released on Father/Daughter Records. Limited to 250 pressings on gorgeous white & gold swirl vinyl, the two bands compliment each other incredibly well. My new favorite of 2011? Indeed. Grab a copy here and check out both bands along with Lands and Peoples and Moon at Glasslands in Brooklyn, NY on Wednesday, June 8th.

Holy Spirits | To The Shore

Back in March we posted up a video for Jake Troth’s extremely catchy new tune “Material Things.” Now he’s teamed up with hip-hop artist B. Rossi to write “Gems And Rubies.” It’s a song about the inevitable question that most dreamers face during their journey to success— “should I be doing this?”

Everything Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe (Kings Of Convenience) touches is pure gold. If you haven’t checked out their latest, Declaration of Dependence, it’s a real treat. If you have, then you know what I’m talking about. Here’s a great collaboration between the boys and the now deceased dub-house artist Erot (r.i.p. 1978-2001), titled “Gold For The Price Of Silver,” that hasn’t made its way out here in the blogosphere yet. This is actually one of my favorites by Øye & Bøe!
