Neon Indian
“I wanted to find some good channel to put out a single that can start hinting at where the next Neon Indian album will go”
According to Gorilla Vs Bear the single was co-produced by Palomo & Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear.
It sounds great and Mountain Dew tates great…. mmmmm the Pepsi Co.
Neon Indian – “Sleep Paralysist”
The UK’s answer to chillwave is finally here (its not chillwave is just our answer to it, I will explain my theory). Smattered with hints of Prince guitar stabs and falsetto harmonies, driven by Dilla drums and that slap-back echo vocal Jai Paul makes totally amazing jams.
When I say the UK’s answer to chillwave it’s because, for one, 21 year old Jai is commin outta Rayners Lane in LDN but also it’s not quite the usual friendly and warm chillwave we all know and love it’s got that hard british edge, the bass-lines have got that dubstep LFO going on but in a totally good way (we all know dubsteps heading in the way of drum’n'bass…. getting left behind while the echos of its sound still occasionally haunt us as we walk past nightclubs with 90s hippies) and also his vocal lines and lyric topics are totally British.
He is rumoured to be appearing on the next Mr. Flash (Ed Banger) E.P, i’ll keep you all informed.

His track BTSTU had me shouting “HOLY SHIT this is good” when I first heard it, I hope it does the same for you.
Jai Paul – BTSTU
Off his recent release ‘Causers of This‘ the brand new video to the track ‘Talamak’
Directed by Jon Casey and shot in Columbia, South Carolina
Coming soon from Flying Lotus‘ label, Brainfeeder.
Wow, what a beautiful way to prepare for what I’m certain will be a magnificent record. From this video you can tell this album is going to be something amazing.
Daedelus is just starting his European/North American tour so don’t miss out, i’m sure he’ll be dropping some of the new ones.
ALBUM RELEASE DATE: MARCH 23 2010
So yesterday Phillip Oskar Augustine – Unknown Patterns was released on cassette with Bathetic Records.
YESssss!
Phillip writes amazing music that’s got so many influences wrapped up that people are trying their best to put into words, the best way to figure it out is just to listen to the music. He is being blogged about by all the small and large blogs, get your hands on this one while you can.
The artwork looks amazing and the album does equally sound as great as it looks.
He has released the track off the album titled ‘Only Bleeding‘ for free download. It’s dope, lap it up!

Living in different states and different time-zones [California/ Florida] Jeremy and Rachel manage to write beautiful intimate jams. Like M83 they have taken those beautiful John Huges films, chorus synth lines but in place of layering them on top of double compressed close-mic’d kits they’ve brought in their late 50s early 60s influences of echoing drums and an ocean of vocal melodies.
What I most like about Kiss Kiss Fantastic is they obviously have an extremely broad musical influence so each track brings something totally different from the previous track, but it manages remains coherent. That said, they are hard to pidgeon-hole into something like ‘Chill-Wave‘ as some of their tracks fit that sound where as others sound less ‘chill‘ and more ‘post‘ There is noise, harmonies, echo drums, waves of vocal melodies, picked bass lines, sawing synths, syncopated guitars; how could you not love these guys. I hope they release an EP soon.
Kiss Kiss Fantastic – Violet
The South Carolina collective have updated their website with the artwork to their full-length album titled ‘Stoned Alone‘:
The release date is still [TBA] but I will keep you informed as to when are where you can pick it up, as far as I’m aware it will be a vinyl release [yes!].
For the mean time check out five exclusive tracks off their up coming release on their Myspace, they are titled ‘Lindsey‘, ‘Black Birthday Cake‘, ‘In Lieu of Flowers‘, ‘Caroline‘ and ‘Stupid Blood‘. If you only have time to listen to one, I recommend ‘Stupid Blood‘.

If you haven’t seen it yet here’s the ‘Flower pills‘ video. Every time I watch it I end up watching the whole thing, that means it’s fucking awesome.
Don’t be the last to hear it first!
Just a quick post to let you all know Free Kisses who we posted about not too long ago [here] has a new track up on her Myspace titled ‘No Map Book‘ and it’s really really… well it’s really pulchritudinous.
Free Kisses write the most beautiful jams. If you haven’t already, check her out on her Myspace, it’s packed full of wonderful music.
Mathemagic have been working on a bunch of new jams recently, 5 new tracks are for their upcoming EP and with thanks to Evan from Mathemagic we are totally honoured to be able to let you guys grab a couple of their other new exclusive tracks.
If beaches could write music, they would sound like ‘Breaststroke‘ and ‘High‘. High starts with that Fleetwood Mac ‘Everywhere‘ style glassy synth arpeggiation, which is the perfect tool to transport you into their melodies. Just like M83’s tracks make me think of cityscapes and clips from movies like ‘Sunshine‘, Mathemagic take it to the beach. Their jams carry a ‘feel’ to them, just like Beach Boys tracks have that amazing vibe that goes beyond the chord progressions Mathemagic’s tracks are like 4 minute time (and place) capsules. The swells of their synth sound like melodic versions of the ocean lapping again the coast. The picked bass line of ‘Breastrokes‘ alone will make you want to stick it on repeat. Man I can’t wait for summer.
Mathemagic – Breastroke

Mathemagic – High
These guys are going to be huge, so in a few months time when they’re all over Pitchfork and Gorilla Vs Bear you can say “I heard them way before all of you“.
