i wish artists these days would wait longer in between releases, maybe not 2 decades..

Mac DeMarco - Dreamin

CertifiedSW posted a song of his a page or 2 back. Just heard he's touring with Phoenix.
 
James Blakes new track, "retrograde" is just premiering. SOunds amazing, can't wait for him to drop a new album, one of the most anticipated albums of the year for me, after his self-titled debut record.

Starvin' for some new Little Dragon...






Edit - interesting story about Phoenix's forthcoming album.

http://pitchfork.com/news/49468-pho...el-jacksons-thriller-to-make-their-new-album/


This week's issue of The New Yorker has a nice little nugget of contemporary music trivia: Phoenix's upcoming record Bankrupt! was mixed on the fabled Harrison 4032 solid-state recording console used to make Michael Jackson's legendary Thriller.

According to The New Yorker, Phoenix guitarist Laurent Brancowitz found the console for sale on the eBay page of owner Clayton Rose, who owns a Christian music studio in Fullerton, California. Upon consulting with the band, they decided they "had to have it" because they "liked the idea of working with a consecrated artifact, as well as having something strange upon which to fixate between albums."

"The most mysterious part to me was that no one else-- no nerd or music engineer or memorabilia freak-- seemed to want it," frontman Thomas Mars told The New Yorker. "There was something a little spooky about him [Rose]. He was very pushy. It seemed like a scam. " After a prolonged and skeptical online back-and-forth with Rose, Mars committed to the console for a price of $17,000 (the original asking price was $32,000) and shipped it to Paris to begin mixing Bankrupt!.

A couple more tidbits from the piece: The Harrison is as "long as a Ping-Pong table and weighs eleven hundred pounds" and Bankrupt!'s original working title was Alternative Thriller. (This seems to be a trend.)

I haven't spinned MBV's album yet, but I heard a track off of the album and it sounded really good. I gotta get on that asap.
 
My newest song "Excessive Celebration" let me know what you guys think, thanks.





Edit: I just scrolled up, lol i don't think indie is short for "independent" in this case :smh:

Jim James - A New Life

Vid was just released. I guess the Jim James solo album was released already. I'll pick it up tomorrow when I go to buy SkyFall.

I like the new James Blake song too.

she's on an indie label, so i guess this counts..

i'm really diggin the sound her and dev hynes have come up with.
 
^ dope video. Dev been messing with this sound with his Blood Orange act, but when he gets a someone with really good vocals a la Solange or Sky Ferreira, it sounds :smokin
 
:smokin .. I actually just got into some Indie music last night when I was bored and tired of listening to the same stuff over and over. I listened to Gotye's 'Making Mirrors', Goldfrapps 'The Singles' mix, Kimbra's 'Vows' and Chromatics 'Kill For Love'.

As a guy who mainly listens to Rap and Hip Hop I absolutely love this genre of music. Out of the music I listened to last night I think I liked Gotye's. Wasn't really feellin' Chromatics. Goldfrapp had a couple songs that I'd listen to again, and I only got a couple songs deep into Kimbras so I cant give an opinion on that one.

I'm a complete newb to the genre and will read through this thread (that I was excited to see was on here) but does anybody have any recommendations or must listen to songs and/or albums? I prefer a more uptempo approach but appreciate good music either way so any input is appreciated.
