Current Releases

The theme this week is current releases, it even has one song that hasn't been released. The sound quality seems lower than usual, I'll try to fix that soon.

1. The Strokes - Juicebox
Posted for you people who are being monitored by the man and can't download the song. I leave the review up to you.
2. Goatbed - Says Says Says
An all out 80s dance song. Analog drums machines and analog sythns, the whole business. It is definately cheesy to an extent, but it still has some great melodies. I love that bass melody in there, very New Order.
3. Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah - The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth
Described as a mix between Neutral Milk Hotel and Talking Heads by Pitchfork not me. I hear the David Byrne though. Quality song, begins with a great key riff and builds up layers and layers of atmosphere. Great vocal performance.
4. Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah - Is This Love
Turns out the song it called Is This Love. I recorded it from a KCRW performance. Fantastic melodies in this song. Seems like the lyrics aren't shabby but kind of hard to understand what he's singing.
5. Belle and Sebastian - The Eighth Station of the Cross Kebab House
From that War Child Record. A cool reggae/dub style song, but with a creepy atmosphere. I really like the breakdown that steps down and the synth accordian, gorgeous tone.
