1. OK one more.  This song is just badass.  No other info on this band.  Here’s their website.  

  2. One more track this morning, this one from FP favorite and R&B alchemist How To Dress Well.  ”Ocean Floor For Everything” will appear on his sophomore LP Total Loss, out this fall via Acephale.  

  3. [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

    Suddenly Denmark is the world capital of punk music.  Last year’s debut from Iceage was one of the year’s most earth-scorching records, and now we’re introduced to Lower, a tremendously exciting group with a single EP to its name.  Enjoy “Craver,” and expect the EP to become available soon via Escho records.  

  4. All the DC touchstones are present on this track from Capital-City punks Imperial China: Rites of Spring, Fugazi, The Dismemberment Plan.  Battles show their face as well, as do various Zach Hill project.  This all makes for a track that is both engaging and fascinating, and one that should appeal to fans of punk and polyrhythm everywhere.  The band’s third LP, How We Connect, is out now via Sockets Records.

  10. 2012 will be remembered as the year that the best records resembled 1980s film soundtracks.  Already Chromatics, Night Jewel, Chairlift, Zambri, Trailer Trash Tracys and more have brought us fantastic film scores without films.  Now comes rising UK group Money with this fantastic new single, “So Long (GODISDEAD).”  Out on vinyl June 4 via Almost Musique.  

  11. New video for Lower Dens’ “Propagation.”  Nootropics out today!

  12. If you haven’t heard Chromatics’ Kill for Love yet…what the hell is wrong with you?  Click the photo to read our review, then spend some time with the album.
