Listen: Grizzly Bear - "Yet Again"

It's a tad bit produced, but the ending is a payoff.

Listen: Woods - "Cali in a Cup"

The always reliable Woods are putting out another album, Bend Beyond, on September 18. "Cali in a Cup" is their first single and it follows the same path Woods has been on in a while; never a bad thing when you've got your sound down as tight as Woods does. This song makes a slight excursion into harmonica territory, however, and damnit I love it. More harmonica in every song, please.

Listen: Dean Blunt - "Flaxen"

. This will apparently be on Blunt's next mixtape, The Narcissist III. I dug The Narcissist II very much, stoked for this one.

Turn It Up: Halasan Bazar - Tin Foiled

Laurel Halo - MK Ultra

SSHHHIIII: Julia Holter - Ekstasis

Been waiting for this one for quite some time. Ekstasis, the sophmore Julia Holter album, is up for streaming on NPR.. This thing is good. Really good. So good you'll want to own it. Buy it from the RVNG Intl.. You can also listen to the first song "Marienbad" directly below, in case of, like, laziness or some thing. 

Hypnotic: Death And Vanilla - "Rituals"

Movie Trailer: Beyond the Black Rainbow

 Holy shit. I hope the admission price includes a free vial of LSD.

Listen: Eric Copeland - "Car Alarms"

Here's one more thing I forgot to add over the week. Mainly because my love for this song wasn't apparent at first, but it grows with each listen. From Black Dice dude, Eric Copeland, comes "Car Alarm." I don't even feel the need to describe this one. Imagine if Animal Collective and Ween fused into one weird, fucked up noise band. That's basically what you get. It's a grimey, stuttered sort of melody, and completely different than anything else out there. Hey, that's Eric Copeland for you.

 

Check out Pitchfork to listen.

From the Week: Vidz & Stuff

Roman Ruins - "Wildflower"
There really wasn't much in the way of awesome music videos this week, at least not in the sense that they also had compelling music. However, two notable ones come from Roman Ruins and LHF. Both are pretty psychedelic. And then there's one from LX Sweat. The video is terrible. The music is not. Isn't that what really matters? Dude? Check 'em out?
