These Are Powers - Easy Answers

After the short lived n0 things, ex Liars bass player, Pat Noecker formed These Are Powers with Anna Barie (vocals/guitar) (ex Knife Skills & Fxxxing Lion) and Ted McGrath (drums) in 2006. The latter was replaced by electroacoustic drummer/percussionist Bill Salas. This track is off there latest long player All Aboard Future, I strongly recommend getting hold of a copy.

Monty On Steroids

Taken from this torrent - remixes of an orchestral adaptation of C64 music.

Picture Plane - Goth Star

Pictureplane is the stage name of electronic musician Travis Egedy. He first appeared in the music scene of Denver, Colorado, making a name for himself at the Rhinoceropolis club. His recent album, Dark Rift, attracted attention when it was well-received by Pitchfork Media and other critics. So says Wikipedia and who am I to argue. The album is pretty amazing though. Available through Lovepump United.

Deastro - The Shaded Forests

Someone smashed Friendly Fires and The Dodos together with a huge electro hammer then then you might end up with something like Deastro, this track The Shaded Forest has been played in my iTunes library 47 times in the past two days. I trust you’ll give it the same workout.

All Blues - Shnabubula

From the Kind Of Bloop 8bit tribute album covering A Kind Of Blue chipcore-style. This is probably the best track, really taking the spirit of the piece and playing with it. Review of the album here.

YACHT - Summer Song

Summer not quite what you expected? Let Summer Song put you in the mood! oh and if you like this then checkout the rest of the album called See Mystery Lights. (Psychic City is another great track)

Japandroids - Rockers East Vancouver

Okay, can’t tell you too much about these guys apart from they are from Vancouver, there are only two of them but they sound like more, one is named David Prowse but he’s not Darth Vader. Also their album is really rather good.

Atlas Sound (feat Panda Bear) - Walkabout

I really like everything that Bradford Cox has been doing and the new Atlas Sound album sounds like it’s going to be a really good. Set for release in October it’s called Logos and the first single off of it is a collaboration with Panda Bear. Enjoy.
