No Excuses

the Morning Benders' (San Francisco, CA) new album, BIG ECHO will be released on Mar.9th, 2010 from Rough Trade Records. Produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, the album continues their tradition of making folk-tinged indie pop to make ears acquiesce sublimely, as evidenced in the video above for "Excuses," presented by Yours Truly. The song, "Promises" from BIG ECHO can be download in advance for free here.

Other videos by Yours Truly include live performances by Papercuts, Band of Skulls, and Thao with the Get Down Stay Down.

Special thanks to Michael Pooley of Pink Mist and Painted Highways for the video turn-on.

Ghostly Goodness

Ghostly International has just released GHOSTLY ESSENTIALS: RARITIES ONE, a new collection of electronic rarities from their roster, available for free download here. Including obscure tracks by some of Ghostly's more renowned artists such a Audion/Matthew Dear, and Mobius Band, the collection plays not merely as a random smattering of b-sides, but as a cohesive grouping of some top notch electronic music.

As a label, Ghostly and it's sister off-shot, Spectral Sound have remained at the forefront of contemporary electronic music and avant-pop. Recent releases have included the likes of Tycho, School of Seven Bells, and Choir of Young Believers. On February 23rd, they will be releasing the LP version of Phantogram's new album, EYELID MOVIES. The album incorporates break-beats and synth pulses draped in a dark wash of shoe-gazed ambiance combined with a substantial amount of pop hooks, resulting in an album that is both easy to groove to and sing-along with.

The CD version of EYELID MOVIES is available now from Barsuk Records.
You can download the song, "When I'm Small" from the album for free here.

“This is the soundtrack for first kisses. Their music is so beautifully warm and heartfelt. A wash of chorus glazed guitars caress you, then Ryan's voice sifts through to pierce your heart and wound you in the best possible way.” - Ryan Miyashiro, AMOEBA MUSIC: MUSIC WE LIKE, THE BEST OF 2003

. . . I still stand by what I said then.

Timbre Tantrums - Tue., noon - 3pm on KTUH, 90.3 FM, Honolulu

Selections by DJ Tanner and myself. You can find her on Thursdays, same party-station, same party-time, different party-dimension. I'll be stopping by her show this Thursday, if anyone would like to hear more of our incoherent drivel as we learn more about "feelings".

The ever-so-cute song, "Ally Ally Oxen Free" by BMX Bandits and Yeon Gene can be found on the BIRDSONGS, BEESONGS VOL.A compilation by Eardrums Pop. It, along with later volumes can be downloaded for free here, although it may take several attempts due to server problems. More info on that can be found on their dedicated "Download problems?" link on their site. Keep trying! It's so worth it.
