Run Overdrive It was only three short weeks ago that Civil Civic reached our ears. How bored those ears must have been. Civil Civic is like a horror movie. Is anybody down there? Hello? Than BOOM!!! they unleash the fury. "Members of Civil Civic do not necessarily want to see blood seeping from your ears, but neither are they going to lose any sleep over it when they do. They just want to see you weep with mingled joy and sadness". Excerpt from their blog. MP3 Run Overdrive BUY | CIVIL CIVIC BANDCAMP SITE |

Finger To add to the awesomeness that is Ty Segall, we're posting another track to last week's post. "Finger", creeps it's way into your speakers like an itch. But then that itch becomes a rash, the rash begins to spread, at which point you realize you might need some antibiotics. This crusty, fuzzed-out track starts out almost sweet, gradually making you feel dirty by the end. Ty Segall will be at Hi Dive in Denver on August 19.

Cool Jumper Cool Jumper actually came out late last year. It slipped through my radar, what can I say? This track features Nathan Williams and Hella drummer, Zach Hill (new addition to the one-man-band) who is the man behind the additional electronics and percussion. The single can be found all over the internet for free. The band's next album titled "King Of The Beach" will be released on 8/3 via Fat Possum.

So This Is Goodbye It was back in August that we initially found the bearded Mr. Fitzsimmons, when he remixed the Kanye West track "Heartless". If you haven't heard this track, click HERE. It's worth the jump. Then come back and listen to "So This Is Goodbye (Pink Ganter remix). The track is off "Derivatives", a b-side and remixes collection out now on iTunes

I'm A Singer (Haters) "I'm a singer (Haters)" is another killer track from M.I.A's forthcoming album, /\/\/\Y/\ out on July 13. This is the first track to feature M.I.A.'s voice. I'm surprised to hear these tracks coming from this artist. Many artists that have an award-winning debut album have a career long battle trying to obtain that same energy. M.I.A. is demonstrating the opposite with /\/\/\Y/\. The three tracks I've heard so far make me very excited to hear more. Take the time to watch the Nylon interview to the right of this post. Listen to this track HERE. |

Under The Sheets (Chiddy Bang Remix) "Under the sheets" by "Ellie Goulding" has been in our daily mix since October. The remixed track by Chiddy Bang does the track justice, adding hip hop beats and Chiddy Bang lyrics. The track is part of the mini mix tape "Air Swell" available over at Pretty Much Amazing. It's free, so go get it.

Bleed Like There Is No Other Flood Married to more than just their music, this husband and wife team from Sweden has pushed the experimental range of their two piece folk style. For their latest EP "Retina", they've added backing vocals from a 12-piece Icelandic Chamber Choir to the minimalist vocals and drum beats they're known for. MP3 Bleed Like There Is No Other Flood |

The Boy From The Sun The second Swede this week is Christian Niva (aka Niva). He made a name for himself creating dance tracks under his former alias The Quietboy. He's relaxed a bit since then, and it shows in the lo-fi sound of Niva. If you liked Toro y Moi when we featured him last week, Niva will not disappoint.

Sleepwalkers Brooklyn based duo "The Hundred In The Hands" released their latest EP entitled "This Desert" about two weeks ago. Sleepwalkers has the same dance-punk sensibilities that defined their 2008 debut single "Dressed In Dresden". After a two year hiatus, they've definitely picked up where they left off.

We Want To With a decidedly darker energy than their previous venture, "New Young Pony Club" recently released their second album "The Optimist." Produced, funded, and released by the band themselves, it shows that this band deserves a second look. "We Want To" can only help to solidify these Londoners. MP3 We Want To |

Come Back To Mine (feat. Moguai) This is a pure dance track from the 21 year old Brit pop songstress/drummer "Florrie". She may be young, but she's garnered attention from the likes of "Moguai" on this latest track. Her sound is similar to "Elite Gymnastics", who we featured a few weeks back. In fact, they've done their own remix of "Come Back To Mine" if you're in the mood. |

Leaving Trails What a name. They're from Seattle which explains the St. Helens reference, but I'm at loss when it comes to the Vietnam Band part. Musical atmosphere seems to be the calling card of this offering from their upcoming release "Where the Messengers Meet".

Sunspray This is a track from Mikey Sanders, who is now calling himself "Blackbird Blackbird". Up until about a month ago he was Bye Bye Blackbird. Even after the abrupt forced name change, "Sunspray" still has a warm summer feel. Check out his new EP "Let's Move On Together". MP3 Sunspray FREE | HERE |
I couldn't find any videos for Blackbird Blackbird, so here's a video of an SR71 Blackbird. Enjoy. |
