mp3: Mission Of Burma > 1, 2, 3, Partyy!

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Mission Of Burma’s new Bob Weston-produced album is entitled The Sound The Speed The Light. According to Matablog, “all the Burma trademarks are also present: the military snare drum, the melodic basslines high up on the neck, and the furiously experimental guitarwork, refracted and changed back into the songs via tape loops – all punctuated by the hoarse shouts of drummer Peter Prescott” The album drops this Fall on October 6th. Roger Miller has described the album thusly: “Casual but pretty rock. Doesn’t seem to suck.” Listen…

Downloadable: 1, 2, 3, Partyy! (matador mp3)

And yes, that’s “party” with an extra Y in the song title. Is this the beginning of the extra letter invasion on song titles? Maybe. They have already attacked band names (e.g. Wavves, Miike Snow, UUVVWWZ, Lovvers, and there are probably others but I can’t think of them now).

The Sound The Speed The Light by Mission Of Burma

Consider CLICKing: new Uninhabitable Mansions mp3, old Wives, etc.

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

- Soundbites has coverage of the Uninhabitable Mansions (the indie “super” group with members of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Au Revoir Simone) 7″ release show plus an mp3 of the b-side… here. Live WFMU mp3s are… here.

- The digital archives of Pukekos have added some Wives (yep, Dean and Randy of No Age’s old band)… here. Also posted is this whopper… Mr. Spunt’s record label, “Post Present Medium was bankrolled by a settlement that Dean received when his car was hit by a member of the Backstreet Boys.” Hmmmm, is this proof of cosmic justice or just a funny rumor? I don’t know.

- The latest Built On A Weak Spot monthly mix of noiserock and such is… here.

- Movimenta compiles some reviews of the new Lovvers album, Thinkhere.

- Finally and fitting for today’s snow, I bring you The Year Without A Summer (data was lost mp3) by Coltrane Motion. They have a show coming up on March 11 @ Public Assembly with Renminbi and The Five Cents.

mp3: Lovvers > Wasted Youth

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

I guess sort of the UK equivalent of Wavves, get ready for the neolofipunkiness of Lovvers!!

Downloadable: Wasted Youth (mp3)
Props: Oh My Rockness

It makes me wonder with all this lofi goodness (which started maybe last year)… is there going to be a backlash? Is it already happening? Are trends and their backlashes going to start merging? Or is this just a variant of 90’s nostaglia? Should people just go out and buy some Guided By Voices records?

At least I know the answer to the last question. Yes.
