MP3 blog 2014/10/21

blog 2014/10/21 - we never take this chance

This will slowly destroy us:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20141021.zip


Alexander Tucker - His Arm Has Grown Long:  Did James Keenan Maynard invest in cello lessons and a loop pedal?  Because damn, this is the perfect comeback.  From the 2011 album Dorwytch.

ASTR - Blue Hawaii:  Probably the slickest ode to Everybody I've ever grooved to.

Belle - No Sleep In Toronto:  Canadians love it when people mention Canada.

Cian Nugent & The Cosmos - Grass Above My Head:  Stunning insrtumental work that glistens across my heart, from Born With The Caul.

Dae Zhen - '94:  Love the tight + unhurried flow here, from Women & Wordplay, and touches on the same joys of Brother Ali.

Disclosure & Friend Within - The Mechanism:  More kickass bass from Disclosure ooh yes

Dpat & Atu - Nothing Here:  More smooth chillbass.

Faust - Herbststimmung:  Psych jam!!!!! From Something dirty

HSVN - Supreme ft Jarell Perry
HSVN - Whenever I Plz ft Arima Ederra:  I am so all over this pop-filled smoothed out chillbass.  If I had to name genres today, I would have called this My Cuddle Core.

Jessie Ware - Tough Love:  Jware is back and is as stunning as ever.

Kembe X - Poker Face:  smoked out so smooth.

King Green - Nothing:  Ugggh that beat is so killer and he's got flow for days.  Amazing.

Mikos Da Gawd - Get Lo ft Mr. Carmack:  Percolate non stop, busta.

Moses Sumney - Lindisfarne:  This reminds me of a James Blake track, but vox done by an acapella group.

Nurses - Trying To Reach You:  There are some Vampire Weekend elements distilled in here, but no worries, they rise above that for pop greatness.

Sos - Dead or Alive:  A touch of XX, a touch of melodrama, and super emo rnb vox.

Sufjan Stevens - Futile Devices (Shigato Remix):  This is a cover, right?  Ahh well, it's fabbo.

Tittsworth - After The Dance ft Q-Tip, Theophilus London, & Alison Carney:  Light groove hiphop dance all night.

MP3 blog 2014/10/15

blog 2014/10/15- uggh seriously, fuck you angry dudes

Enough of the whiny pissbabies:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20141015.zip


1 Giant Leap - Dunya Salam ft Baaba Maal:  So the whole 1GL thing is kind of a total cheeseball powerhouse thing from 2001, but I really love this one track.

Aaron Martin - Comfort Of Shadow:  Tense and lush, from Day Has Ended.

Angel Olsen - Hi-Five:  Another great song from the fabulous new album Burn Your Fire For No Witness.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Chet Faker - 1998:  Sweet bouncy pop, this is some sunglasses-at-night ish.

Clean Bandit - Rather Be ft Jess Glynne (The Magician Remix):  The Magician is a … wizard? … at pop.  First time I've heard him flip a garage beat like this and it's lovely.

Cosmo Baker & Grandtheft - Find a Way ft Jeanette Lady Day:  Funky smooth vocal house, oh yes!

James Blake - Overgrown
James Blake - Take A Fall For Me:  I didn't talk about it much last year, but now that I listen more I really really really am digging Overgrown.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang (Caked Up & Meaux Green Remix):  BOOOOOOTTTTYYYYYY

Majid Bekkas - Sahara Blues:  Oh god yes yes, this is the sex.

Perfume Genius - Fool
Perfume Genius - Grid:  A stunner.  As impactful as a more shy and reserved Antony.  A near perfect album, Too Bright is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Poliça - I See My Mother:  Defined quite a bit by the vocal processing, this is some seriously cool pop that reminds me of Bill Laswell productions from the 90s.

Ryan Hemsworth - Gods:  Awww Hemmi goes trap!

S - Vampires:  WHHHYYYY???? There is an arms race for the most ungoogleable name, and we have a new world power.  But still, great song.

Sophie - Lemonade:  Click snap booty clap.

Stylo G - Badd ft Sister Nancy:  There is a unstated rule that I have to post at least 10 Sister Nancy remixes every year.

We Are The Brave - Sparrow (Attari! Remix):  Close it all down with some nightlife cool ish.

Alvvays - Adult Diversion:  OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, VERY CLEVER.

Anjou - Sighting:  I had been listening to a lot of Bohren as of late and this is like a slightly more muted, dronier, and somehow more upbeat version?

Dilly Dally - Next Gold:  This song could be like 10 minutes long.  Best 10 minutes ever.

Duke Dumont - Need U (100%) ft AME:  The seduction of vocal house, but oh that killer subbass going on.  Check it.

FKA Twigs - Two Weeks:  God this is so sexy.

HUIAS - Dealer:  Smooth bass sexy.

Le1f - Float:  OK this is far to short of a tease.  MOAR.

Loom - Bottom of the Sea:  Smooth jazzy downtempo from the Brazilian Beats EP.

Paris Carney - It's Always The Quiet Ones:  Just some great lovely pop.

Sylvan Esso - Coffee:  Sweet pop bliss.

Tomderson - Congo Drum ft Di Apprentice:  BEAT IT LIKE A CONGO DRUM
