19 delicious tracks for you guys.. or one zip file. your call! they're all amazing, trust me.
[zip file will be at the bottom, so you know what you're getting first]
also, i'll post some full albums at the very end. some that were part of this post and some that weren't... it's like a toy at the bottom of a cereal box! you never know what you'll get, unless it's the crappy plastic spoon they put on the outside of the box. anyway, get em while you can..
- fun song, pretty mellow, definitely a feel good one to drive to after a day of shredding (snow, water, concrete, wheat, whatever you prefer)
- i don't know what to tell you about this.. just download it. something to bop your head and clap your hands to with your friends. and who doesn't like that?
- a must have, if you aren't already familiar. grizzly bear side project. nuff said.
- picked this one up a couple days ago, really grew on me. very gradual intro carrying into a minimal downtempo kinda groove. not sure if it's accurate, but it reminds me of crossing grizzly bear with the smiths. doesn't seem the best way to describe it but that's what pops into my head, sorry.
- needed a pick me up after that last song. grungey kind of electropop feel to it, think old tokyo police club. good energy, lots of distortion over a catchy riff. lovin' it.
- actually got this whole album today, a friend told me to because i enjoy arcade fire. good call on his part. trust him! get it! what're you waiting forrrr!
- i'm in love with this. it's so simple but amazing. wouldn't classify it as true grimey gnarly dubstep (tek-one, rusko, etc) but definitely a must have. have i been saying that a lot? sorry.
- another pick me up cuz that last song was so perfectly mellow. cleanish guitar and a smooth bass line over some bangin' static drums, repetitive falsettos about wanting to live in an asylum, what's not to love? this song reminds me of On Parade by Electrelane.
- more upbeat, short song, still great. i want to make an edit to this. can't pinpoint who they're similar to, but think if neutral milk hotel traded in a deep voice for a high one and a banjo. giiiit iiiiiiit.
- oldie, off the mixtape, but definite goody. came up on shuffle this week. thought i'd throw it in. yee.
- gotta toss in some electro, despite how indie this post has turned out to be. i just love this because all the club rats think you're going to drop "Be" by Swedish House Mafia if you mix it that way, but then drops to some delicious cherry flavored shufflin' tunage.
- got this little ep entitled H.A.G.S. from mah dude ali, it's amazing. you all need to get it. sort of beirut feel to it but more folky and bright. ahhh put it on repeat now.
- first found out about these guys because my beloved Kids At The Bar remixed their song "strictly game." the original was awesome as well, so i got the whole album. lovely.
- not electro, sorry. more like a cover than a remix. mellow, kinda dark, but pleasing nonetheless.
- i'm running out of freakingg adjectives! CRAP. it's great lake swimmers, if you've heard of them, then you know. if you don't know, then you betta ax sumbuddy. get it. please?
- i love this intro so effin' much. amazing guitars, soon accompanied by a great voice, it all blends into perfection. go go go.
- found these guys on a forum with the growlers, the soft pack, etc.. different than what i was expecting (which was something more like the strange boys) but a very pleasant surprise. good old rock n' roll. without the crappy aspect.
- awesome, kind of poppy, upbeat, echoed choruses, bright feeling. get creepy!
- you need to get this album. it's great. really, it is. and this song is like the ultimate "F YOU!" to anyone you don't like, but without having to get riled up and yelling it. watch the music video here to get the idea. yeah!
Full Albums:
**All music is property of these amazing artists, and you should buy their songs, visit their sites, and go to all their shows. most importantly, go to their shows. they get the most money and exposure from gigs, whereas buying the album on itunes or anywhere else online puts about half the money into the pockets of people that have nothing to do with the artist's creation. thanks.
love you guys, look out for some more regularly scheduled postage.
