Paw Tracks

[Neo-Psychedelia, Noise Rock, Experimental Rock]

this album is one of the more original and interesting albums i've heard in the past few months. they kind of remind me of the dirty projectors in some weird, experimental way. i don't really know why.

also, they are on Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label... bet you're sold on this album now, aren't you?

i'm trying out a different style for putting up albums on here. so you can get more information and less of the babble.

but anyway, this is a classic. if you haven't heard these guys by now, i don't know what the fuck you're doing with your life. download this immediately.

Count Bass D - Dwight Spitz

2009-07-02T17:53:00.004-04:00

this is one of those hip-hop albums that will never receive the credit that it deserves. usually, the only way anybody even hears Count Bass D's name is if they happen to listen to MF Doom's 'MM.. FOOD' album. i strongly suggest that you give him a listen. if you don't enjoy this album, then i quit.

Whitehouse - Bird Seed

2009-06-11T17:21:00.004-04:00

it's been a while, hasn't it? my apologies, my life has been... ridiculous. i've honestly only had a few minutes in front of a computer in the last month, and i was drunk during those few minutes too, so you can understand.

but now i (avoid, you know, the guy that posts the majority of stuff on here) return to you with another noise album. this one is by Whitehouse. i'm not even going to build it up. either you're going to download it because the album cover looks interesting, or you're not because i mentioned that it was noise.

see you next month!

combatwoundedveteran - This Is Not An Erect, All Red Neon Body

2009-05-04T17:21:00.005-04:00

the only grindcore band you'll ever need to listen to. and you can quote me on that. i'm just shocked that this band is still not all that popular. i mean, they only have a little over 11,000 listers on last.fm. there is something incredibly wrong with that. anywho, i'm done rambling, download this and listen to it, it'll probably take less time to hear the whole album then it did to read all of this.

Modest Mouse - Miscellaneous, Early, Rare, and Bootleg

2009-04-25T00:07:00.005-04:00

Okay, if you're a die hard Modest Mouse fan, you cannot live without this. I happened upon this album not too long ago and it has brought me great joy ever since. It's really nice, because it has many song that have the Sad Sappy Sucker feel to them, yet this is an unofficial album. Hey, even if you haven't got into Modest Mouse yet and all you've heard is Float On or Ocean Breathes Salty, this would be the perfect time to hear Modest Mouse at its best. There are also some interesting alternate versions, hard to find Ugly Casanova songs, and just a little bit of everything you could hope for. Props to schonert for uploading this shit on Demonoid.

Del the Funky Homosapien - Funk Man (The Stimulus Package)

2009-04-20T00:21:00.002-04:00

dude, it's Del. i shouldn't have to say anything about him.

also, i'll be upping his Deltron 3030 album later this week. it is, by far, my favorite rap album EVER.

this album is available for free (in every format you can imagine) on bandcamp.com

U.S. Girls - U.S. Girls

2009-04-18T06:05:00.004-04:00

what is this? two uploads in one day?! what the motherfuck.

i was exposed to U.S. Girls randomly when i went to a show at a small, artsy little house on the far side of town. i immediately fell in love, and this CD has become on of my favorite unknown gems. and now i'm sharing it with you... the 3 or 4 of you who read this blog and never comment... or post any albums. hah.

Xiu Xiu - CD of the Month: April

2009-04-18T05:52:00.003-04:00

from what i understand about this series, jamie is going to release one CD of solo ambient music a month, for twelve months straight. as far as i know this is the first CD of the series. enjoy.

Current 93 - Dogs Blood Rising

2009-04-13T16:07:00.007-04:00

i think this review sums up this album better than i could... "Having established his art on initial releases, Tibet makes a stunning declaration of purpose on Dogs Blood Rising, one of the most frightening, nerve-wracking records ever released. Interspersing quicker tracks and two lengthy evocations of destruction, Dogs Blood shows Tibet and his collaborators -- including, as always, Stapleton -- combining everything from invocations of Yukio Mishima to Christianity in a harrowing blend. Opening track "Christus Christus" sets the tone with its heavily flanged and looped vocals, chanting the title over and over again against a wash of sound, but it's the following track, "Falling Back in Fields of Rape," which truly begins to set this album apart. With guest vocals courtesy of Crass singer Steve Ignorant, who recites lyrics clearly meant to play on both senses of the word "rape," everything -- from recurrent chants of "War!", other choral moans, varying percussion, heavily treated musical snippets, and fragment loops -- builds and fades throughout the mix. When a young girl's voice takes over the main lyrics after a snippet of a nursery rhyme is sung, the sheer sense of creep out grows even higher. It's even further intensified as Ignorant's rasping shouts of the main lyric start floating up through the mix like a mantra from hell. "From Broken Cross, Locusts" provides a semi-respite in ways, but only just, chanting from Tibet and others floating low in the mix as a recurrent, strange drum loop sets the overall pace before a sudden, frazzled ending. "Raio No Terrasu (Jesus Wept)" ratchets up everything to the level of apocalypse -- the music doesn't pound and explode, but the ever-more pained, wailed voices chanting the title phrase or other similarly disturbed lines, or simply calling and keening unintelligibly, become a disturbing, fractured and tape-treated collage of sound. "St. Peters Keys All Bloody" concludes the album on a perversely calm note, with Tibet speaking in a snarl, then softly singing "The Sounds of Silence" and "Scarborough Fair" by Simon & Garfunkel. It's a chilling coda to a striking album."

Henry Thomas - Texas Worried Blues: Complete Recorded Works 1927-1929

2009-04-08T17:57:00.006-04:00

one of the oldest, and also one of the best blues compilations i've ever heard. now i know i'm not much of a blues fan, but out of all of the people i've played this album for, i've yet to have a single person say they didn't enjoy it. if you're not into blues already, please let this be your introduction. especially if you're a bob dylan or canned heat fan, because mr. thomas was a big inspiration on them.

Merzbow - 1930

2009-04-07T06:22:00.008-04:00

sorry for being so lazy.

another noise classic by a noise master. if you have never heard merzbow, this is probably your best hope for an introduction.

p.s. i'll be posting a lot more often from now on.

Beck - Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape

2009-03-28T11:58:00.006-04:00

If you are a true fan of Beck, you are in for a treat. This was his first ever released demo, originally on cassette. This demo includes a few songs from Loser UK and US, but has many rare and unreleased tracks; 36 in all. If you enjoy lo-fi you 'gon love this. Snag it, mutherfuker

apologies.

2009-03-17T04:50:00.001-04:00

we aren't dying already. jacob and i have just been extremely busy and haven't had any free time to upload any albums recently. don't worry, we'll get some more up this week... hopefully.

Prurient - And Still, Wanting

2009-03-09T05:36:00.004-04:00

you dig harsh noise? you'll enjoy this album then. in fact, if you're into noise at all and you don't have this album than i don't know what the fuck is wrong with you. i only have two words for this masterpiece: instant classic.

get it while it's hot!

Japanther - Master of Pigeons

2009-03-04T13:38:00.004-05:00

A melting pot of genres; one of the most diverse albums I own. Includes many live tracks and is sure to spark your interest in some way. Download!

Big Black - Songs About Fucking

2009-03-03T06:34:00.004-05:00

an album everyone should own, or at least hear once. raw, loud, fast, noisy, what more could you possibly want from an album? i don't know if this should be labeled as punk or not, but that's probably the closest genre i can think of to this. i shouldn't even have to write anything about this classic, the name should be enough to get you to download it.

give it to me, baby

The Threshold HouseBoys Choir - Form Grows Rampant

2009-03-03T06:07:00.004-05:00

first off, ignore the album artwork, though once you see the DVD and read about the CD/DVD package it becomes a lot more apparent why they picked that picture as the cover art. The Threshold Houseboys Choir is Peter Christopherson (Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV/Coil). even if none of the bands that he has been a part of ring a bell for you, you should still check out this album. it is one of my all time favorite albums to fall asleep to, next to Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2.

describing this album is extremely hard for me to do, for some odd reason. no words seem to come to mind, except for beautiful. the soundscapes and everything... it just puts me in this amazing frame of mind every single time i listen to it. if you don't ever download anything else i put on this blog, please download this album.

Cars Can Be Blue - All the Stuff We Do

2009-03-01T00:20:00.004-05:00

The hilariously provocative duo consisting of Becky Brooks and Nate Mitchell of Athens Georgia will make you both dance and laugh your ass off. Their sound is somewhere between pop and dance, well give it listen already! (Also in .wma format, once again sorry if that bothers you) Download!

Flux of Pink Indians - Strive to Survive Causing the Least Suffering Possible

2009-02-28T10:19:00.006-05:00

A vicious insight to the world of suffering, made from the broken pieces of The Epileptics, Flux of Pink Indians gets their first full length album in 1983. Now it's 2009 and it's still so fucking good you'll wish they were still around. (This album is in .wma format, sorry if that causes you any problems.) Download.

White Magic - Dark Stars

2009-02-28T10:02:00.005-05:00

Unique in its own way, this short, but sweet album never ceases to amaze me. With up to seven drum tracks on some songs, cryptic and beautiful sounding piano, and the unexplainable Native American like vocals, this album is definitely worth your time.

Lee Rockey - Lee Rockey Music

2009-02-25T15:57:00.005-05:00

for a record that was recorded 30 years ago, this beauty really stood the test of time. the source of the sound on this album is a violin, but he uses it in ways i've only heard a few artists use it before. it's sometimes jazzy, sometimes avant-garde, sometimes straight up noise. and it's 30 years old!

if you dig Burning Star Core, you'll probably love this.

this is truly an unknown gem. so unknown that i really don't know anything about the band at all. i would recommend this album for fans of Os Mutantes.

Cold Cave - The Trees Grew Emotions And Died

2009-02-24T15:07:00.001-05:00

it's not very often you come across a group that really just grabs your ear and doesn't let you go. this EP did that to me. it sounds like some kind of rehash of many other things i've heard. but for some reason i just can't stop listening to it.

try it out for yourself...
