[Physics] smooth jamming summer sounds and glitching beats infused with warm synth texture and gloss are absolute winners for me. Its very much a Chillwave style sound, drifting and dreamy, [Physics] music as described by themselves is "digi psych retrofuturism" which just gives enough random words to accurately pin down their own peculiar brand of dream pop synth magic. Their "Love Electrical" EP is out on Amdiscs, as a limited edition tape. Or to download here.
What the hell do you mean guitar bands are dead, no one you have heard in a while sounds as vital and energized as they were when you were younger, you haven't heard anyone that kicks it like The Libertines, BRMC, The Pixies etc etc yawn. Well you just haven't been looking hard enough have you. Blam! Here's a band for you, Jesuslesfilles, they've been hanging out for a year or so, they have guitars and energy and they're French speaking to boot, these guys are from Montreal and they kick ass all over the place! They've just released a split record with The Peelies which you can get from Bandcamp for $5. Do it.
Pyr▲mids of ▲▲ is one of my favorite artists of recent years but I keep forgetting to blog his latest releases. The first three EPs called tri▲ngulum, pyr▲mids and sp▲cedout which I blogged and downloaded and played to death, but i've forgotten to download the latest 3 releases, summer trinity, atelier reverb and pattern//recognition. These are three great EPs and they are all free to download from Last.fm! Download them here, here and here.
Pyr▲mids of ▲▲ is an artist who plays lo-fi, reverb-drenched ambient/shoegaze swarming with heavy samples, ethereal atmospheres and dreamy impressionistic soundscapes. Its throbbing spacey stuff that is just brilliant. These three new EPs are all a bit more complex and structured but are essentially following the same ambient synth worlds. A few tracks are up on Soundcloud so you can listen to them below.
Its a new year and kicking off in style is a great little down tempo track by Shades which you can download for free from Soundcloud. All glittering bouncing melodies and slow house feelings the song features a brilliant whispered vocal for a song fittingly called Lullaby.
