Author: Pacific UV, The Ruby Suns, Snapper, Field Mice, The Frames & more.
Dipping into the archives a bit more this week. There’s lots of new stuff in the hopper for the next one!
1. Kinski – Rhode Island Freakout
Sonic Youth-indebted rocker kicks us off. This one’s off 2003′s Airs Above Your Station.
2. Snapper – Eyes That Shine
Great noisy garage psych from the great 1992 album Shotgun Blossom. Snapper features Peter Gutteridge, previously of The Clean and The Chills.
3. Pacific UV – Know
Been meaning to drop this for a while. Great noisy rock and roll gives way to dreaminess.
4. Oblisk – Epicenter
Propulsive track out of Detroit. This off last year’s Weather Patterns.
5. Nikoo – Gimme Hell
New Netherlands noisepop, taken from their free EP.
6. Disappears – Hearing Things
Catchy off-kilter track by increasingly interesting Chicago band: “CCR via Minor Threat”
7. Aerial Love Feed – Rockethouse
Bombastic Britrock out of New York.
8. Ornaith O’Dowd – Car Tapes
Irish Brooklyn-based artist describes this as ” wistful guitar pop number that recalls the romance of making mix tapes for summer road trip.” Sounds good to me.
9. Moscow Olympics – Second Trace
Straight outta the Philippines is MO with a nice melodic pop number off Cut The World.
10. The Field Mice – Sensitive
Sarah Records legends bring the sunny never-want-this-song-to-end C86 pop. The bridge between The Smiths and Adorable?
11. Dreamend – Elipsis 2
This instrumental would be the perfect trackto play during intermission at a My Bloody Valentine concert.
12. The Frames – Sideways Down
A fave track of mine by the Irish band.
13. Hooray! – Honeymoon
Like me some folky dream pop.
14. Invisible Elephant – Time
This instrumental builds in intensity until they hit you with an explosive Bowie/Mott The Hoople chorus. Available on Bandcamp.
15. The Ruby Suns – Closet Astrologer
Lovely. Fans of Animal Collective will really like this band.
16. Team Ghost – Colors In Time
Wonderful shoegaze electronica out of Paris.
17. Nice Nice – See Waves
A great track that’s hard to pin down. Clash describes it as noise rock, but I’m not so sure.
