| Australia’s Blank Realm continues to drop tracks on us from the US release of their album Go Easy, which arrived last week on Fire Records. |
|
| |
 |
|
| It’s on like Donkey Kong! More new music from Dntel, who’s unloaded two new songs on SoundCloud. The first, 'Kids,' is a minimal techno stab, loopy and indulgent. 'Threaper' features a similar warbly approach as his recently released song “Cave Mouth.” |
|
| |
 |
|
| Yoni Wolf of Why? just started a great new podcast, which although promises interviews and insight into the band, starts with an amazing lucid and personal look at Yoni. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Get down in it with Black Flag. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Tricky follows up on a nice run of releases with the MP3 for the song “Tribal Drums,” which includes the incredible Francesca Belmonte. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Loud, in-your-face new school alternative punk from Mudhoney. It’s the latest installment from Vanishing Point, an album that shows the band having as much resiliency any of the original crop of Seattle bands that came up in the alterna-90’s. |
|
| |
 |
|
| It's time to take your Medicine: the dream pop - shoegaze band have reunited and it feels so good. Take the pop music of Ride and blur it with the noisy squalls of My Bloody Valentine, that's where Medicine begins. |

 |
|
| Timeless music ... they might be calling this post-rock for the need to put a label on it, but different parts of this song invoke completely different eras and genres. It starts out like the kind of 70's rock you could hear on FM radio, but it also gets into post-punk turns before heading off into post-rock and even punk sounds reminiscent of the early Sebadoh thrashings. |
|

 |
|
| José González and Junip are offering a new MP3 for the song "Your Life, Your Call," off of the album Spring on City due out in April. |
|
| |

|
| |
 |

|
| |
 |
|
| New music from Low with "So Blue" from The Invisible Way, due out on Mar. 13 on Sub Pop Records. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Over the past four days or so, Hyperdub-dubstep electronic mastermind Kode9 has dumped a huge amount of music on the web. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Their fuzzed-out take on punk and noise is reminiscent of the 80's hardcore scene -- melodic verse-chorus-verse with a massive dose of energy. Fans of Husker Du have plenty to dig into here. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Solvents' Forgive Yr Blood is the perfect blend of indie pop, folk and post punk. The movement back and forth between the violin and vocals happens so effortlessy that you could almost think one was mimicking the other. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Former electropunk band Thunderbirds Are Now! have become a relic of the past -- they've changed their name to Destroy This Place and moved into meatier musical confines. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Slightly lo-fi and distorted, with a post-Misfits fetish to boot. |
|
| |
|
|
| Taken from the upcoming Pond album Hobo Rocket, "Giant Tortoise" rocks in every way possible. Fuzzed-out guitar bliss gives way to lucid solos, which in turn comes back in tightly integrated verse-chorus-verse workouts. It's everything that's great about the Australian psych scene. |
|
| |
 |
|
| The drum & bass vibe is alive and well here with "Where I'm From," with a touch of old school reggae or dub with the keyboards. Vintage and new ... at the same time. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Jensen Serf Company is what the name implies - surf-styled music from Florida with a lot of reverb and garage / punk influences. There's a definite punk tension here. |
|
| |
 |
|
| There's a definite subliminal chill on the remixes -- they might be uptempo but they're chilled down in effect. |
|
| |
 |
|
| The new Lost Animal song "Lose the Baby" is a jangly indie pop kind of thing, from the album Ex Tropical that's due out next week on Hardly Art Records. There's an almost free-flowing, rambling style to the lyrical delivery similar to Kurt Vile or even Randy Newman (back in the day) -- it has a very laid back vibe. BONUS: full album stream. |
|
| |
 |
|
| José González is back with a new song from Junip. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Check out the rolling bassline! Ohvaur hit you at the top of the song with the bass line of death, before breaking in with a more semantic cutting of a pop song on a bender. |
|
| |
 |
|
| The master is back, styling the music world with a free download of a rarities compilation. This is today's "must listen" music. |
|
| |
 |
|
| It's time to rage and Pissed Jeans will get you there. |

|

|
| |
|
| Atoms For Peace have released a new song for download via their web site at atomsforpeace.info, and it's called 'What The Eyeballs Did.' |
| |
|
| There's an almost 60's California pop vibe here, Panda Bear influence mixed through the Mush Records haze before being filtered into and end product. I'm not sure how Mush Records does it, but there is a genuine MR sonic aesthetic that seems to happen with each of its acts. |
| |
|
| It's no Tad, but it can fill the void for today. |
| |
|
| Death Grips are going rogue ... they appear to have released their new album NO LOVE DEEP WEB ahead of next year's official Epic Records release date. | |
| |
|
| It's a blowout of hard-hitting beats, a heavy duty Monday morning song to get you going for the week and the get-up-and-go track of the day. Glitched out electronic music beats are fused with southern California hip hop to offer up music that doesn't get mired in just one aesthetic or genre. |
| |
|
| This is gonna be the soundtrack for Fall ... dark, lo-fi synthwave sounds. The song “Static” is a post-punk take on industrial music -- from the likes of the Joy Division and Echo and the Bunnymen jet set. |
| |
|
| Jimmy LaValle is back with a new EP this week, check out a track from it with "Descent." | |
| |
|
| Toronto minimalist post-punk band METZ signed to Seattle's Sub Pop Records earlier this year, and will release a full-length self-titled album on the label on Oct. 9. Check out the MP3 of the song 'Wet Blanket.' | |
| |
|
| Big beats and bombastic break beats. | |
| |
|
| Police Teeth. Where have these guys been hiding? Seattle apparently, and the song "Bellingham Media Blackout" is the kind of blues-tinged punk come post-punk that sets your teeth on edge. | |
| |
|
| The new Matt and Kim album Lightning is due to arrive on Oct. 2 via FADER, today we get to preview the song "Now," there's also a download of the song via Facebook. | |
| |
| |
|
| Following on the release of the excellent album WIXIW this year, Liars have released a new song today via the Adult Swim Singles Series. | |
| |
|
| It's indie pop with looped background vocals, at times rhythmic and lurching and other times a standard pop song. The song builds nicely before kicking it over the top at the end. | |
| |
|
| Mikey Maramag, a.k.a. Blackbird Blackbird, has remixed the Bjork song "Hidden Place" in advance of his Boracay Planet EP, which is due out on Lavish Habits on Oct. 6. |
| |
|
