CARIBOU – ODESSA [VIDEO]

Friday, February 19th, 2010
Watch the video for ‘Odessa’, the first single from Caribou‘s forthcoming full-length Swim. There’s some blood, some fire and water, and a lot of snow. Hmm… Anyhow, can’t wait for the new album.

MP3: Odessa

Swim is out April 20th on Merge and City Slang.

WITCHCRAFT – FUNERAL SONG

Friday, February 19th, 2010
The only info on the mysterious Witchcraft is that there should be a 7″ on Captured Tracks soon. Which is good. And so are their catchy Blank Dogs-style lo-fi post-punk jams. But I would reconsider that band name if I was them… (Or have they already changed it to MINKS?)
Download ‘Funeral Song’ below and stream two more tracks on Witchcraft’s Myspace.

EMILY REO – CAR (BUILT TO SPILL COVER)

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Seen this around on blogs and liked it so I thought we should post it too. Ever wondered what it’d sound like if Tickley Feather was a member of Beach House? Me neither, but I’m guessing it would sound something like this. Check out two tracks from Orlando, Florida’s Emily Reo, the wonderful ‘Metal on Your Skin’ and a cover that doesn’t suck (!). You can stream her album on last.fm and buy it from A Dracula Records.

ELA ORLEANS – LOST

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
2009, La Station Radar
01. Something Higher; 02. “Yes, of Course”; 03. Better Friends; 04. Reading Stones; 05. Rocket Trip to Nowhere; 06. Amsler Grid; 07. Myriads; 08. Barry Lyndon; 09. Lost

We’re a little late on this one, but I have a hunch we might not be the only ones. Lost is the second full-length by Ela Orleans, a New York-based Polish musician who creates wonderful hazy soundscapes (or, in her own words, “movies for ears”) using guitar, violin, keyboard, sampler and vocals. This album is absolutely gorgeous so grab those two tracks below and order the LP from La Station Radar. Now.
