Hit me like a tidal Wavves

Wavves is a young dude from California who makes music that sounds pretty much like No Age. He's a little more raw, but I think that plays nicely into this genre, which is definitely growing in popularity. "So Bored" and "Beach Demon" both rock and roll in a way that makes you wish you were head-banging under the warm California Sun. Check out his myspace below, and keep an eye out for some upcoming releases. So far the only thing he has out is a tape. Yup, that's right, a good ol tape.

The Ruby Suns- "Paltimos Park"

Here's The Ruby Suns take on El Guincho's hit, "Paltimos Park." I like the way they updated the lyrics and added their own music to the track, making it a unique remix. I also like how lately indie artists have been collaborating with one another. It seems to be stemming from the infusion of African music into the indie scene, which has possibly promoted a more tribal mentality. Whatever the reason, I hope to see more artists working to create truly global music.

El Guincho - "Paltimos Park"

Here's an excellent new video from electronica mix master El Guincho. The video features cool animations and paper cut out graphics of El Guincho dancing about. The vibrant colors and minimalist approach really do the track "Paltimos Park" the tropical justice it deserves. Check it out and enjoy the beat. 

Hit Me Like A Gamma Ray

Arguably one of the Best songs of the year thus far and Modern Guilt's lead single, "Gamma Ray" is known far and away for hitting the ill note. So, here's a video of Beck performing the song in front of the noise starved masses. 

Everything That Happens WIll Happen Today

This has got to be my favorite album of the year so far. David Byrne and Brian Eno put together a really good album that's pretty much different from anything they've done before. It has great pop sense while still maintaining the weirdness both of these artists consistently exude. You can stream through the whole thing here, check it out and enjoy.

Sexually Frustrated Synths

Hey! The new Faint album is out, and if you've been a fan  I'm sure you'll be excited with their latest offering. The overall tempo of the music has slowed down a bit, but their sound has benefited as heard through the more refined instrumentation and composition. The LP is relatively short leaving me somewhat disappointed, yet standout tracks like "The Geeks Were Right", "Psycho", and "Mirror Error" make Fasciinatiion worth a purchase (Only 8 ducks on Itunes). Also, The Faint are on tour right now, so check their myspace page for dates.

New Cool Kids - "Pennies"

Here's a new track from the Cool Kids. They may be from Chicago, but Chuck Inglish apparently loves the Pistons as he dedicates nearly an entire verse to Isiah Thomas and company on this dope beat. The Cool Kids are really gaining some popularity lately due to their recent mixtape and ep, but their live shows have also been a reason for some of this attention. They're hosting a live show in Dallas at the Granada Theatre, so if your around those parts I suggest checking it out. Hit up the link below for the track.
