|
| Punk sounds from Pissed Jeans with the new video for "Bathroom Laughter" from the new album Honeys, which is out this week on Sub Pop Records. It's a supercharged dose of Pissed Jeans and it has a way of taking over the room when it's played, and the video has the same effect with its take on late night television gone wrong. |
|
| |
 |

|
| |
|
|
| 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. |

Spacelab Retrograde - Tricky - Maxinquaye (Full Album) |
| That classic first album from Tricky ... redefined music at the time and proved Tricky to be in the master class of making music.

| This sonic sprawling clocks in at almost eight minutes, and is almost reminiscent of the most experimental era of Pink Floyd -- their pre-success days that saw them doing the soundtrack to the film More or even the epic Ummagumma. Look at the name of the band and think about it. |

| 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. |
