GIMME TINNITUS

Yourself is the latest musical project from Nick Noeding, Jr. who has had many a moniker… Pollination, Low Scores, Bulk Buttons, Pegasuses. (Noeding also blogs at High Desert on Tumblr and full disclosure at GT’s own Fuck Yeah Nusquam.)

The Yourself project is poppier and less shoegazey than previous efforts. Noeding presently has approximately two albums worth of materials to release. In the near future, he is planning on posting a couple tracks every few weeks until it’s all posted, and then uploading it “all together on bandcamp as an ‘album’ or something”.

Listen.

Downloadable: Tomorrow I Will Do It (mp3)

Yourself should be on bandcamp in the near future.

You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR you can just download any or all of the tracks at your leisure and play them using a digital media player of your choice.

And if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers:

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

Also, 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 you may or may not know, Jonathan Visger of Mason Proper has a solo project name of Absofacto. Well, Visger has been working with experimental hip hop artists 10k Cities (which in turn is a collaboration between GT favs Pollination and zoomzip). Do you remember zoomzip from this memetastic remix? If not, you should. Anyway, Dovecote Records is releasing a limited edition split 7″ from Absofacto and 10k Cities. It should ship somewhere around February 24th. Preorderers get an immediate download of both tracks from the 7″, plus a bonus track from 10k Cities. Listen.

Streamable: Kiko 7″ (bandcamp)

You can preorder the Kiko 7″ @ music.absofacto.com or dovecoterecords.com.

Sign up for the email list (here) before the ship date and you will receive a discount code, but it will only work until the ship date. The digital download will be available without any physical encumbrances in the future post-ship date. Until then, preordering is the only way to get it.

So, now that you have (most likely) ordered the 7″, you should totally download this mp3 from 10k Cities. Think of it as special bonus track for reading this post. Listen.

Downloadable: Nametag (mp3)

And if you want to hear where the Absofacto/10k Cities collaboration originated, you should probably listen to Pollination‘s Mason Proper remix over @ Soundcloud.
