Atlas Sound
The infinitely prolific Bradford Cox dropped another Virtual 7″ under Atlas Sound on his blog. On “Springtime Instrumental” he demonstrates yet again how well he can meld seasonal feelings into his own distinct sound. And I absolutely love “Time Warp”, definitely my favourite Cox tune right now:

Pistolero
Atlanta’s Pistolero is dropping their newest album, Warface, this Saturday at their Star Bar show with North Elementary and Thee Crucials. In addition to that, you can also pick up a split 7″ between Pistolero and North Elementary where each band covers a song from the other. They are offering this free via the 200 limited edition vinyls available at the show, or digitally here. Have a taste:

A Random Mp3 Trilogy: Dan Deacon/Shit Wolf, BLK JKS, North Elementary
Dan Deacon @ Eyedrum (1/7/08)
I finally got around to listening to Dan Deacon‘s new album, Bromst, and it delivers everything a fan could want. When it comes to dance music, it doesn’t get much better. I recently got sent a remixed track of one of the Bromst tunes called “Red F”. The artist who reworked the track, Shit Wolf, is a member of Murfreesboro Tennessee’s Blastoids, a fantastic band I really dig. Check it out:

BLK JKS @ SXSW 2009
South Africa’s BLK JKS have debuted themselves to the world with a 4 track EP called Mystery, although they have been a band since the year 2000.The album is produced by Secret Machines‘ Brandon Curtis and it is a truly epic 20 minutes of music that sounds sort of like TV On The Radio, but way more psychedelic. The acid-dub jams’ mind altering intentions are bolstered by the strangeness of their music being loosely rooted in traditional African music. It is an extraordinary and wholly successful fusion of very different musical aesthetics.
North Elementary are a band based around Chapel Hill, North Carolina singer/songwriter John Harrison. He has put out a bunch of material over the years under different banners, but this is my first introduction to the musician. The sound is a beam of indie rock shining through an alt-country prism, reminiscent of bands like Sparklehorse, Cracker, and middle period Wilco. In fact, the album is produced by Alan Weatherhead who has worked with both Sparklehorse and Camper Van Beethoven, so if you are into music like that, as I am, you will enjoy this album.
