The fine folks over at Flashlight Tag turned me onto Russia’s bittertv. This is some chilled chillout electronics warped by the fading sun. These two tracks are from their loveritual EP which is available for free on Bandcamp:

Twin Sister & Snowmine Remix Each Other

February 9, 2012 | laurent the laurent | Leave a comment

Philly’s Weathervane Music recently released the free Shaking Through Soundtrack series which has selected tracks from artists who participated in the annual documentary series. Two of these artists, Snowmine and Twin Sister, decided to go a little further by releasing a double remix single with WV. Take a listen to the two songs here, but be sure to head over to the Weathervane Music Bandcamp and check the mass amount of awesome music they have there.

Ragdoll

There I was a few nights ago trolling around the “Baltimore” tag of Bandcamp…and WOW. Ragdoll. Intense intense overdrive punk fury. Loved every ounce of fuzz dripping from their newest S/T release.

mp3: Ragdoll – Cowboy Killer

and a explosive Joy Division cover for good measure:

mp3: Ragdoll – She’s Lost Control

Much more on their Bandcamp.

Young Heel – Falls EP

February 3, 2012 | laurent the laurent | 2 Comments

Brooklyn’s Young Heel have just released the Falls EP (go get it), and if you’re in need for some electronic popish mellowing, consider giving it a spin. Falls is 5 slow current synth jams that border on R&B and occasionally remind me of Mr. Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel – that’s a good thing. Here’s what I’m talking about:

Lissy Trullie – It’s Only You, Isn’t It (mp3)

February 2, 2012 | laurent the laurent | Leave a comment

Lissy Trullie just dropped another song off the upcoming S/T LP (out April 10th on Downtown Records) with “It’s Only You, Isn’t It”. This one gets back to a bit more of the energy of the Self-Taught Learner EP (that being said – ”Madeline“‘s slow burn is one of my faves of the year). Check it:

mp3: Lissy Trullie - It’s Only You, Isn’t It

And for some reason Lissy Trullie always gets me in the mood to hear this.
