What I Heard This Morning: AIDS Wolf

-
I'd actually heard of AIDS Wolf before, knowing the Canadian No Wave-based, artcore troupe as students of Get In The Van and D.I.Y. ideology; as the creative force behind the art crew, Seripop and as the band that had their promotional photographs taken while they were naked.  (Can't find those, by the way.  Sorry).

Their fourth album, a double-LP titled Ma vie banale avant-garde, is being release October 4th by Lovepump United and will likely bleed more than a few sets of ears.

Don't believe me?  Check out this single, "Please Hold The Line."

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings. The mostly repetitious loop'd loop of springy bass riffs and flat percussion offer Sleaford Mods the distinction of being the more sophistica

What I Heard This Morning: Breton

I received an email via Sure Shot PR that was promoting Hemlock Recordings as well as their new acquisition, Breton . The band has a new EP out: A digital release entitled, Counter Balance . “RDI” is the song I sampled and it is a post-rock-meets-electronica mixture that seems to capitalize a bit on Foals , (an assessment all too accurately made in the press release by a writer for NME). The melodies they pick, though, are catchy and “RDI” really didn’t leave my head all day. They’re not typically a band I would discuss, but I thought Breton were intriguing enough to note. ”RDI” Here's the press info: HEK010 BRETON - Counter Balance EP Digital release: "RDI" "Counter Balance" "December" "Pop Death" "Hours Away" 12" Vinyl: HEK010A: "December" HEK010B1: "Hours Away" HEK010B2: "Counter Balance" With incendiary debuts from James Blake and Fantastic Mr Fox , Hemlock has built

The "I'll get back to that" portion of my brain results in sometimes 50 browser tabs being open, many of which are YouTube or Bandcamp links for bands and performers that I want to keep track of.  So, I'm sorting through browser tabs.
