Condom is composed of two (Swedish? that may be a lie) dudes, Covox and Random. Together they are Condom. This recording is of a one-time collaboration between the two in New York.The hard-driving ch...
from conor mackey of excellent twiddly guitar-pop band loose lips sink ships, these tracks turn on a dime from knotty beats to bassoon interludes. alternately airy and gnarly. my fiancee calls it fra...
Chumbawamba is, unfortunately, best known for their one big hit, "Tub Thumping". Anyways, this impressively-slick live album should give a better perspective on this band of British anar...
This has been on repeat in my room for the past couple of days. A group of Canadian natives (from Ottawa, I believe...next time Im up that way I will absolutely check them out...) have combined tradi...
these beats are pretty sick. get em
(thats him. right there. on the left. the very left. he is not white. on the left.)So we had a little Q&A with Perry who is, surprisingly, as relaxed as he sounds on tape. Here is the full, unedi...
so we have another "pay what you want" album. and a hip-hop one at that, so im glad to say that i was pleasantly surprised to find that this was a full-fledged album - clearly not a mixtape. ...
Hey yall, its been a while.Working hard as fuck on this thesis. Almost done. Phew.Anyways, dantelopes most recent post inspired me to get this classic up here.DJ Franes a mysterious stoned (mysteriou...
some of you might have seen this before. its an album by a conservatory graduate (dan) that covers a wide range of genres, though predominantly funk. i will attest to the fact that i had no idea what...
A while back, someone bitched and moaned that I should stop posting lame shit, and cited Clive Tanaka as a suitably non-lame alternative. Well, I listened. Clives background is interesting, he allege...
I recently watched this film, and it stayed with me for days. And in addition to the melancholic characters and their highly sexual chemistry, the music really stuck with me. Its scored by an old gro...
i really didnt know too much about Abbey Lincoln, but after going to shows and hearing just about every female jazz singer announce "this is an Abbey Lincoln tune" before launching into an am...
Another in the series of the young and talented, this 19 year old Montrealer was recently signed to Nicholas Jaars label. Minimal, bass heavy, electric and eclectic, with lots of clicks, clacks, buzz...
great straight-ahead rock record from NOs unfortunately named Caddywhompus. on first listen they might remind you of Grizzly Bear, especially with some of the open chord voicings they use, but its cl...
Continuing with the "king" theme, heres the latest from the young and talented Archy Marshall, who I posted a few weeks back. Working under a new moniker, this ones a little more produced and...
Some more awesome music from my motherland. King Khans stuff is garage rock meets psych revival, and its really, really good. If you get a chance to see him live, promise me you will. Enjoy
Ive been on a big Thelonious Monk kick recently. Its been said that pleasure lies somewhere between boredom and confusion, and Monks music illustrates this well. His fat, frquently dissonant chords a...
look at dat album art. sweet ass beat tape from an artist frequently featured on wflm, reuben winter. for real though, look at dat album art, nothing represented by that could be anything less than d...
This band is easily my favorite in Canada right now, hands down. Bruce Peninsula is a core band of five individuals, backed by a fluctuating choir and auxiliary section comprised of other well-known ...
Fuck me, this is awesome.As a Star Wars fan and a disco fan, one wouldve assumed this wouldve crossed my path before this morning. In a nutshell, this is disco renditions of the soundtrack to A New H...
an extremely chilled-out trip hop record. the vocal samples, skittering drums, and overall mood put me in mind of pre-hiatus Portishead but with wobbles/bleeps&blorps instead of scratches. if you lik...
An EP by the artist formerly known as Zoo Kid - hes rolling by King Krule these days - which is hitting me really hard lately. Self described bluewave, its a sole, reverb-heavy, jangly guitar playing...
This is splendid. Caribou, primarily known for his minimalist, psychedlic electronica, brings his A-game to his live shows.In this limited, vinyl-only release, he is joined by four drummers, Sun Ras ...
Some really exciting musical things are happening in my town, and this is one of them. One very talented fellow putting out insanely awesome, eclectic, arty, percussive, catch-heavy sound collages. S...
This one has been blowing my mind for years, ever since I thought that elephant on the cover was giving me the finger. Except I cant find my original copy, so apologies on the poor bitrate. Bill Lasw...
This is a sort-of best of Xihislisk album. I wasnt familiar with his work before listening to it, but it definitely convinced me to explore more. A compilation // best-of album is particuarly succesf...
Zavalas ridiculous beats were by far the best part of the Dark Time Sunshine project. de-grimed (theyre pristine) and without emcees flowing over the top, you can see why these complex, swirling, and...
Oh wow, this one was a surprise. Bandcamp is such a wealth of awesome stuff that doesnt get the love it should. This is a wonderfully composed pop album by Mary of Egypt. The Joanna Newsom and Sufjan...
Sometimes, an album has everything you could want in it.Like this lil gem, for instance.Dub influenced production? Check.Songs about smoking weed? Check. Checkcheckcheckcheckcheck. Theyre all about s...
as ive implied here before, Schnittke is probably my favorite modern composer. this disc was my introduction to his work and, oddly enough, i bought it at a Tower Records (RIP) based solely on the co...
