I had an itch to check out Dayve Hawk’s (Memory Tapes) blog (We’re Tapes) yesterday and it turns out he just finished a remix of Tanlines‘ “Real Life”. Check it out!

Here’s the first video off Swedish folksters Fredrik’s (say that 10 times fast) upcoming album Trilogi. I get sort of a Matthew Bellamy vibe from this guy’s voice by the way, but that’s probably just me. This video is pretty sweet, and I think the album art is even sweeter. Be on the lookout for it’s January 26th release on The Kora Records. And in case you were wondering: “vinter” means winter, and “barn” means children.
Check out the latest release from The Dirty Projectors on Western Vinyl.
Beware! The Dirty Projectors new album Bitte Orca is a serious commitment. This record takes the listener through every realm of music. Tribal, dance, acoustic, prog, guitar rock… it is all there. I feel like this is one of those records that truly speaks for itself. I put one of my favorite tracks up called “Temecula Sunrise”. Dave Longstreth and company belt harmonies that give you chills, which to be honest, is the best part. A great strength of this record is that as soon as you get comfortable and cozy with a melody or hook, the album turns on you. The drummer never actually goes into a full blown beat and the time signature changes almost as often as the key or tempo changes. This record makes you wait and even work for the harmonious pop gems tucked away in each song. It has been a long time since I heard a band succesfully walk the line of avante garde experimental music and great pop. Enjoy with headphones!
