Stick around for the Television-esque jam.

FIDLAR doesn't do it for me at all.

Posted this 7" in the 2012 album segment, so forgive me for the repeat.

I really like this song, don't necessarily care for the band.

The Ocean Blue -

Big fan of this band back in the late 80s/early 90s. This is their first album in a decade and it's surprisingly good. If you liked them 20 years ago, or you're a New Order fan, you'll like this album.

Deerhunter - "Monomania"

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=bYUENZQ84-E&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DbYUENZQ84-E

And this is badass. Bradford Cox is a harrowing figure.

Majical Cloudz:

 

[wilked]

Whoa. Really looking forward to this upcoming album now.

 

[Apple Jack]

Spiritualized - Here It Comes (The Road, Let's Go)

Listened to this probably ten times in the last week. And a new Christmas song addition for next year.

 

[mad sweeney]

Frontman from The Sister Ruby Band, which I've recently discovered. Their sound, including vocal effects, is really, really reminiscent to me of Mazzy Star with a male singer of course and an alt-country feel.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Good tune. I dont see this song on either of his/their albums though, whats the deal?

Great song, great album.

 

[mad sweeney]

I got the album off amazon, couldn't find it anywhere else, even allmusic. I just used a YT to mp3 site to convert it. It still sounds pretty good if you use a HQ video.
