JC Satan are amazing.


All I know about JC Satan is that they're brilliant and they're from Bordeaux in France. Insane garage punk thrash with a huge convoluted sound of intense all-or-nothing power that makes you feel this is some kind of therapy based art experiment. The album Faraway Land has song after song of genius-ness in sonic ear blending form. The album is €5 to download from their Bandcamp. In never lets up. Oh and the album cover..!!

Window


This is good, not heard of this guy before but its good. Window is a producer from Montreal and this EP "Strands" is a perfect blend on 90s rave, tumblr led meme dance all breakbeat, into Seapunk water falls and slow mood dance-offs, building rising and letting loose with epic goth RnB vibes and all that. Blam! Too good!

This five track EP is free to download from Bandcamp. Do not be a fool and not get it, it will rock your winter.

Mazes - Bodies (Hookworms Remix)


Mazes - Bodies (Hookworms Remix)... simply the most beautiful, brilliant, catchy song of the year, for me since Health's USA Boys, I just cant stop playing this song. Go download it for free from the FatCat Soundcloud here. The original version is equally great and also free to download.

Buzz Kull - Fallen Flower



NO TASTE


This is what this blog is for, coming across artists like this who are on nobody's radar but are better than half the shit out there. No Taste is someone whose Soundcloud proclaims "I DONT IRL" And his music slays, a distillation of front of the wave meme sounding electronica and killer creativity, slow down-beat mixed with instrumental hip hop intonations through to raved up ghostly inferences. This is URL all the way, total post ironic, 3.0, go download the free tracks from Soundcloud.

Nu Brand Flexxx - "Chillin 'N' Billin" ft Darq E Freaker & Boyadee

Raindeer


Raindeer extol that sort of indie that MGMT nailed down and was started by The Flaming Lips, that Arcade Fire and Yeasayer explored all imagined by Fleetwood Mac way back when. It's a sound that lilts beautiful promises across the morning dew soaked air, telling tales of lives un-fuddled by money worries, age or reality, a dreamlike adventure in primal emotion and wonder, astral projections of musical exuberance somehow filtering through to reality. And they have an album you can download for free!

2forJoy - Tom Waits cover.

Summer of Hate by ELIJAAH


Saw toothed post trance sounding but meaty with it, strains of Salem filtered through sexualised seapunk vibes back into filthy dirt synths and slow ravey groin grinding times, imagine slo-mo strippers riding seedy unwashed poles in strip bars in the ass end of nowhere with euro dance djs dripping grease and coke sweat into the decks, eternal trashy night that ends in crystal meth and selling your kidney to a rich Russian businessman who smells of cigars and tar, forever and ever and avatar, amen/ramen.

Blown - Lost LP


This is good, not sure about anything more than its a Bandcamp page but the artist is called Blown and it's mainly instrumental hip hop with a real electronic dance angle. A real mix of sounds, orchestral, post trancey, industrial and Witchian, all well worth the $3 to download it.

Cassida Pax


Another great lo-fi Dream Pop/Surf sounding guitar band, Cassida Pax. This EP "Sin By Proxy" is a minimal guitar, vocal and minmal percussion thing that sounds very much like it was recorded on 4 track tape in someone's cold damp basement flat in 1987. Beautiful, sad and understated. Despite its mournful "just broke up with my girlfriend and wondering the cemetery drinking cold tea" kind of feel its produced by someone living out in sunny as fuck California. Download the EP from Bandcamp now.

Soda Fabric


Soda Fabric is a surf punk/Afrobeat Indie three piece with a mournful Cure-esque feel. This track "Antonia" is the first single from their forthcoming EP call "Tear On The Beach". It's a bit of an indie sing along anthem in search of a big crowd to sign it back at the stage. Its good and the EP should be a winner. Download the single for free from Bandcamp.
