Pictureplane - Thee Physical

I'm seriously on a synth-pop vibe right now and you'll find nothing different in listening to Pictureplane. Denver producer Travis Egedy, aka Pictureplane, released his sophmore album, Thee Physical, earlier this year. There's a hint of DnB, a touch of industrial, and all around some pretty bangin' beats. Stream the entire album below.

New Nicolas Jaar EP "darkside"

The 3 track EP out on Clown & Sunset today from Nicolas Jaar is appropriately named 'darkside'. My initial thoughts keep going back to Pink Floyd vibes.

Austra & Grimes @ The Croc 11.15.11

I was impressed that this show was nearly sold out before Grimes came on....and even more impressed that people were actually there to see Grimes. Nice job, Seattle! I haven't paid much attention to her even though I've been seeing the name around the blogosphere for quite some time. Everything I had briefly read was that she puts on a hellova show. Agreed. Girl's got some beats!

After such an enegry charged set at Capitol Hill Block Party, I was concerned that last nights Austra show would somehow be a disappointment. So not the case.

NO CEREMONY/// DELIVERUS

The third track from mysterious UK group, No Ceremony.

NO CEREMONY/// HURTLOVE

Another track from No Ceremony. Not a lot of info on these guys around the interwebs, just 3 random tracks, all of which are different from each other. This one is my favorite.

NO CEREMONY/// WEAR ME

"Years Go, Days Pass" - Pallers

Download this track from Swedish duo, Pallers, over at their site. Looks like a bunch of other downloads available for free too. Vocals are strikingly Thom Yorke-esque. Buy their album here.

"Why Didn't You Save Me" - Nicolas Jaar

Stream & download the second track on Nicolas Jaar's new EP on Stereogum today. With the real build and break after the 3 minute mark, I wish this track was 8 minutes long. Remix anyone??

The Lover - Février

Experimental electronic producer/artist/student, Connor Etges, aka 'Février' relesed this 13 track album in September.

Shoegaze sounds even more lovely in the fall, IMO.




He's also got a pretty cool tumblr http://fevrier.tumblr.com/

"Hanging On" - Active Child (live from Iceland Airwaves)

Absolutely kicking myself for skipping the show he did with Chad Valley at the Croc not too long ago after seeing this. However, I'm now inspired to make the trip to Iceland to be able to experience live sets such as this next year.
