Thrill Jockey sent over a new tune by seemingly active duo Pit Er Pat yesterday, and it’s definitely my favorite new weirdo jam of 2010. Lots of synth, drums, loops, what sounds like rapping and dripping water noises. Confusing much? That’s good for me. I’m in. The song is from their upcoming LP, The Flexible… Continue reading [MP3] Pit Er Pat: “Water”

[MP3] My Gold Mask: “Circle Mass”
We first heard from Chicago’s My Gold Mask back in April when they gave us some cool dark, brooding stuff.

[MP3] Pigeons: “Tendresse”

As it turns out, it is a pretty interesting song. As CB notes, and I happened to notice as well, it… Continue reading [MP3] Pigeons: “Tendresse”

You heard me right. Islands. Cera. Drugs. Video. Looks like our man, MC buys some shady pills to to tune of Islands’ “No You Don’t” and goes crazy with lights (!!) and trees (!!) and a guy (!!) who is everywhere (!!).

Magic Wands all about the wind and confetti in “Kiss Me Dead” video
We all love fake wind, fake driving and confetti, don’t we? With oversized tiger heads? And ferns? Good, I’m glad we’re all on the same page. So let me direct you, now to the new Magic Wands video for “Kiss Me Dead.” It was clearly shot in a basement on a low budget, and that’s… Continue reading Magic Wands all about the wind and confetti in “Kiss Me Dead” video
