MP3 blog 2013/02/15

blog 2013/02/15 - starts with a blizzard


Bat For Lashes - Rest Your Head (MANIK Ghost Pines Rework):  The fabo new Bat For Lashes lacks the punch of the electro reality, so I am happy to find any reworks laying a beaty framework on it all.  OK this one isn't my favourite, but there is a paucity of them out there, so I'm taking the parts where I can get them.

Communist Daughter - No Children (The Mountain Goats cover):  Oh yes, let's take one of the most intense and dramatic Mountain Goats songs are redo it as earnest folk apocalypse, yes!

Cris X - Funeral Parade Of Roses:  Some brooding textures from the new album Guya / Greed.

Finley Quaye - Even After All (DJ Beset Edit):  You don't always need a comlex rework, sometimes just a little polish and rework makes an old gem shine.

First Aid Kit - Winter Is All Over You (Baauer Remix):  But then sometimes you want a total rework.  You want to take precious and delicate folk music and wrap it in some Baauer trap shit.  He's this generation's Switch/Sinden.

Frightened Rabbit - Old Old Fashioned (live):  From the album Liver! Lung! FR!, this is kind of the perfect way to hear this, hands down, bottoms up.

Gold Panda - Trust:  Gold Panda tones it down for this new single producing a restrained and seductive plodder that swirls it oh so perfectly.

Joshua Hyslop & Anna Scouten - What Have I Done:  This is some Damien Rice styled beauty right here.

Julie Doiron - Our Love:  Doiron is back with a new album So Many Days

Lisa Bozikovic - Midnight Ice:  For fans of Julie Doiron, be sure to take note of Canada's next folk superstar offering.  Here we have a new track from Lisa Bozikovic's new album This is How We Swim.

M83 - Steve McQueen (MAPS Remix):  Modern M83 is so overbearing that you wonder how you can have an appropriate remix of it, so I always appreciate it when a producer can reign in the excess without sacrificing the goodness.

Matana Roberts & Stefan Christoff - Duet for Abdelrazik:  Such a stunning duet.  Love it.  The story behind this is something out of the most horrifying Kafka policestate nightmares, but read about the project, hear more of it, and order it here http://howlarts.net/releases/

Mount Eerie - I Walked Home Beholding
Mount Eerie - Instrumental 1:  I think I was caught off guard at how much I really enjoyed the brooding postrocky vibes of Ocean Roar.  Highly recommended.

Pair Of Arrows - Vestige:  Sweet and perfect electropop.

The Pro Letarians - Dream Catcher:  Shiny block top clean summertime rap.

Tokyo Police Club - All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem cover):  All rock bands should at least attempt a cover of this song.  It is the Kids of America for the 2st century.
