SKINNED by no age

i've finally gotten around to giving the new lp by no age, everything in between, a proper listen, and truthfully, i'm a bit disappointed in myself for waiting so damn long.  'glitter' was a single released from the record last month.  the lp is released next week (9/28) on subpop! records.  the pic above is the vinyl, which comes in deluxe packaging. grab it here in one format or another.

[on repeat] MEMORY BOY by deerhunter

deerhunter's great new, 'on repeat' lp, halcyon digest, comes out on 9/28 and can be purchased here. but don't take my word for it, if you haven't gotten a hold of a leaked copy then head over to NPR where you can listen to all the psychedelic textures and layers streaming for free.  they will be performing at the music box on 11/1 (tickets). here are two of the many highlights.

DREAM OF MY LOVE (CHASING AFTER YOU) by abe vigoda

 
two tunes from the new lp, crush, out 9/20 on bella union records.  shift in sound for them, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

TREMORS by kruxe

here's a short, but hyper/spazzy tune from memphis' kruxe. i dare you not to bounce. i don't think they're signed yet so that's all for now.

[on repeat] WOE IS ME by the walkmen

 
over the years, ny's the walkmen has steadily matured into a consistent, passionate, top tier band (in my world at least) further developing their expansive sound and feel with each record.  they've well maintained that description with their new record and then some.  as many of the other ny bands of their era have fallen to the wayside or to levels of mediocrity, the walkmen created a sound and place all their own...not looking to revisit the past or to mimic another.  they will be bringing their 'on repeat' lisbon tunes to the music box tonight with japandroids.  you'd be remiss to miss.  tickets are still available here.

WATCH THE GLOW by museum of bellas artes

HEARTS OF LOVE by crocodiles

second lp from the san diego duo crocodiles is called sleep forever (yup, that's the witty album art above), and it comes out on 9/14.  here's a tune from it.  their acclaimed debut crossed velvet underground and primal scream and they seem to be expanding and improving the formula.  buy/pre-order it here.

[on repeat] COMA SUMMER by weekend

i just posted about these sf fellas last week, but the opening track (and second single) from their upcoming lp, sports, to be released 11/9 on the fantastic slumberland records has just surfaced and it's too good to pass up.  hell, the previous track is so good i'm including it again too.  you can catch them open for the pains of being pure at heart at the echoplex on 11/2.  tickets are still available.

SEASIDE TOWN by baths

 
baths is the moniker of a local 21 year-old.  his debut lp, cerulean, is out now on anticon records and is available here. it's getting very good reviews out in the cyber world.  it's mostly instrumental, beats, tweaks, and sampling.

ROSE A.D. by automelodi

fans of the dark, industrial sound of the early 80's definitely need to check out this trio from montreal. their self-titled lp includes both of these tracks and came out in july of this year on post-wave label wierd records. if this leaves you wanting more, they also self-released an ep, fait ses courses, last year.

TATTOOED TEARS by ice cream shout

ice cream shout is an unsigned band from japan (probably not for long).  the song tattooed tears is what first grabbed my attention (from WTD/MOKB), but i later learned, after grabbing a copy, that it's not on their self-titled debut record, which you can get here. if you're itching for a digital copy of tattooed tears to round out your collection, that's available at their bandcamp (and below).

TURNS TO BLOOD by flight

mississippi's flight have a six-song ep, the lead riders, that features this tune and comes out september 28 on zoo music. It's limited to 500 vinyl copies so jump on it if you want one.  any background on the band is about as fuzzy and distorted as their music.
