Also, If you want to download all (or most of) the tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions.

So, we here at GIMME TINNITUS world headquarters are very excited for a full length album by Buke And Gass. The duo of Aron Sanchez and Arone Dyer play highly customized instruments to create a truly unique audio experience. Their sound has been described as “The Loudest Miniature Fuzz.” To hear a much more expansive and weird description of the Buke And Gass sound, listen to the following Radiolab shorts podcast:

Downloadable: The Loudest Miniature Fuzz (wnyc mp3)

And if you want to know what all that hookworm talk is about, listen to THIS (if fact you should probably listen to it anyway).

Side Note: You may remember Sanchez as the former Proton Proton “gassist” (check out the bonus mp3 below if you do not).

Sanchez and Dyer are getting ready to self-release their first full length album, and have released the following ditty in anticipation. Listen.

Downloadable: Medulla Oblongata (mp3)

Hopefully, we will get some more information about the album soon (title, artwork, any innovative packaging deets, etc).

Upcoming Show:
May 15 @ Glasslands w/ Talk Normal, Asa Ransom, Miniboone

UPDATE: I totally forgot about that EP of reworked The Forms songs that was announced last year. We heard there are a lot of awesome guests on it. Matt Berninger of little band known as The National is one name that was thrown around. I suppose the EP is being meticulously tweaked in the band’s recording studio. I assume the EP will be released this year.

Oh, and I’m sure no one will notice a new release from LCD Soundsystem.
