MP3: Crystal Antlers - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue [bob dylan cover]


Crystals Antlers turn themselves a little less spazz-blues-rock and a little more folk with a wonderful cover of Bobby Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." It's a nice change from the sluggish/drunk Dylan voice but I still don't think it holds up to the original. Yet again, do covers ever trample the masters?

SATURDAY IN VIDS: Ani Co // Monsters Of Folk // Rain Machine // Real Estate

Ani Co really "gets" their audience. Does the audience get them? I'm not really sure. Check out their new video for MWPP's opening track "In Flowers" directed by Avey Tare's sister.



********

Check out Monsters Of Folk's dusty western video for "Say Please"



********



"Give Blood" introduced us to Kyp Malone's Rain Machine a few months ago and opened his debut LP with a groove that pulled us right in. Check out the beard video below which feature's some people he found under the bed, paper mache elephants and dancing colorful things...

Real Estate performed live and the dudes from Chocolate Bobka captured it all for P4K's Tunnelvision series.

MP3: Best Coast - This Is Real + When I'm With You


Best Coast [aka Bethany Cosentino] has been making some serious waves tsunamis with her brand of lo-fi, surf pop. Earlier today, Black Iris released her latest 7" - a 2-song indie explosion of good times and echoed vocals. It's kind of like listening to your new favorite band from outside your local venue - raw, entrancing and insanely catchy. Side A side contains a 50s influenced love song as she confesses her heart to a lucky guy - "when i'm with you i have fun." The other side is an infectious jam called "This Is Real." If you don't end up singing along, there might be something wrong with you.

Overall, the 7" is a well-produced lo-fi jam [if that makes any sense] of 2 of the years catchiest songs that should have been released in the summer.

Get it here, now.

MP3: Yeasayer - Ambling Alp [memory tapes remix]


Amid his busy schedule, New Jersey's bedroom pop solo dude Dayve Hawk aka Memory Tapes aka Memory Cassette aka Weird Tapes turned Yeasayer's newest upbeat/life changing/horn-enhanced single "Ambling Alp" into a dance floor friendly/happiest-bass-line-ever jam. You can find it on the Ambling Alp Single via Secretly Canadian along with a DJ/Rupture remix and an instrumental version.

MP3: Post Post - Wolf


In 2008, four junior's from Bryn Mawr college in PA came together to form a dreamy indie pop quartet called Post Post. These ladies recorded their debut EP called Meta Meta with two mics, apple's garageband application and passion for creating the music that they love.

Meta Meta is out now and is available for a one cent minimum on Awkwardcore. I suggest being a little generous and donating more. $5 gets you a physical copy...just saying


MP3 :: Post Post - Wolf

And also be SURE to catch them on November 27th with Free Energy and Tough Shits @ Kung Fu Necktie [tix].

MP3: BONELESS - Breathless + Warm Breeze


From Nevada comes chill, summer, bed-room jams from Isaac Knight. Isaac contacted me a while ago when he went by the name Destroy It. I was pretty impressed as the music separated itself from the usual suspects and massaged my brain with the smooth sounds. Check out a couple tracks from his upcoming demo/EP. Breathless is a super-soaked jam to help cool down any last heat wave of a forgotten summer while Warm Breeze is a friendly reminder of a season to look forward to. All are great examples of stream-of- conscious song writing.

MP3: Chandeliers - Mango Tree


This week hasn't been much of anything in the "new music" department.

Chicago's Chandeliers tear up the electro-percussion thing with Mango Tree from their 2008 LP called The Thrush [via Obey Your Brain]. Mango Tree is an accumulation of funk bounces, found sounds and unclassifiable style in the realm of Tyondai Braxton's classical mind trip.
