Newdust is happy to present our first exclusive remix.  We were lucky enough to have Brothertiger remix a track off of Loose Lips new EP Lower Your Expectations And Be Happy and we have been riding ~~~~~~~~ chillwaves ever since.  Obviously we are biased in this endeavor so I will let the music speak for itself.  Enjoy!

ATTN DC: Go see Loose Lips play with Detox Retox for a dual EP release party this Saturday June 19th at Black Cat.

I went with some buddies to a huge vinyl/record fair at the Black Cat here in DC.  Very crowded but very worth it.  Geologist of Animal Collective DJed part of the event and he was playing some great stuff and several tracks caught my ear. So much so that I went and bothered him for a few moments to try and get the details of his playlist.  He was more then happy to share and one of my favorite takeaways was this song from Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy.  Yeah… what???  The track is off his solo record Solo in Soho. Enjoy!

Two Dancers is an album I could see Shakespeare totally getting into. The lyrics are very dramatic & dark, with equally engaging & beautiful instrumentals. The songs are quite theatrical, I can just see lead singer/songwriter Hayden Thorpe holding a human skull & serenading it in song. The music itself has a very unique sound: the precise drumming of Chris Talbot has somewhat of a tribal feel to it that’s accompanied by very quiet (for the most part), resonating bass & guitar lines that work together to create complex rhythms. There are a lot of great instrumental break downs throughout the album. Two Dancers is a lot to take in with just one listen, it’s got quite a few jaw-dropping moments. “The Fun Powder Plot” is track one from Two Dancers, definitely a great song to set the mood for the rest of the album. Also, here is a great video for “Hooting & Howling,” which just happens to be track two:
