And GOD MODE week continues here @ GIMME TINNITUS…

So, Mr. Dream has a new EP called Fatherland. The band released the following statement regarding the new album:

what can we say? it’s a fucking ep. six songs we wrote and recorded. the end.

take two.

fatherland is about an amusement park for fathers.

Fatherland is set to be released on February 28th via the band’s own GOD MODE Records (run by drummer Nick Sylvester). Here is one of the songs from Fatherland that hit the internet earlier this week. This track evolved from a song about hating TVs in bars into a critique of Middle American culture.

Perhaps you saw them yesterday on Pitchfork or Stereogum? Well, GT favs YVETTE are releasing two blasts of their no-wavey noise rock in 7″ form via GOD MODE Records (which is run by Mr. Dream‘s drummer Nick Sylvester). The Erosion 7″ was recorded by Sylvester and Matt LeMay (more about LeMay @ aquestionoffrequency.com). This is the first non-Mr. Dream release on GOD MODE. The digital version comes out on Valentine’s Day and a limited vinyl release will follow on March 27th. Now, Sylvester says that YVETTE creates “music that, maybe on another planet, is its own kind of pop.” What do you think? Here is the non-title track.

If you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions as we are way too lazy to zip and upload every single Monthly Mix.

Also, if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

And, if you haven’t done it already, make sure you check out the other Monthly Mixes.
