Our friend Alt Altman (aka Digits, the electronic indie pop artist) sent over a few tunes last week of a band he was previously in, titled Europe in Colour, from 2005-2009. They were based in Toronto and released one self-titled EP in 2007. Unfortunately they recently broke up, so we won’t get a chance to… Continue reading MP3s from the now defunct Europe in Colour

[MP3] Color of Clouds: “Burn It Down”
Not sure how I missed this one. KR favorites, Color of Clouds, released a “free EP” of sorts last month because fans were digging their song “Burn It Down”, which CoC had planned on editing a bit for their forthcoming album. The EP has the original version of the song, along with an acoustic version… Continue reading [MP3] Color of Clouds: “Burn It Down”
[Abby’s Road] Transcendent Culture
The quiet of the Bavarian countryside. Post-Washington DC’s 2009 Snowpocalypse, it ended up being the perfect place to spend my holiday season. As my German boyfriend Albert and I nestled in the kitchen of his childhood, his mother, a lovely, traditional mama called Marlene, tuned the television to Bayerischer Rundfunk – the Bavarian equivalent of… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Transcendent Culture
[MP3] Pit Er Pat: “Water”
Thrill Jockey sent over a new tune by seemingly active duo Pit Er Pat yesterday, and it’s definitely my favorite new weirdo jam of 2010. Lots of synth, drums, loops, what sounds like rapping and dripping water noises. Confusing much? That’s good for me. I’m in. The song is from their upcoming LP, The Flexible… Continue reading [MP3] Pit Er Pat: “Water”
Collider releases free EP
What have we here? Free music? A free EP? A free eight song EP?? Sounds more like an LP to me, and that’s just fine. Collider, our San Fransisco friends from July and October, have released a free EP, titled BBM, to coincide with the new year. (We actually missed the boat on timing with… Continue reading Collider releases free EP
[MP3] My Gold Mask: “Circle Mass”
We first heard from Chicago’s My Gold Mask back in April when they gave us some cool dark, brooding stuff. Now they’re back with a much more polished sound that’s a little less brooding, but still just dark enough for my taste. They’ve recently released their A Thousand Voices EP, and are offering up “Circle… Continue reading [MP3] My Gold Mask: “Circle Mass”
[MP3] Eluvium: “Leaves Eclipse The Light”
Another new Eluvium track surfaced today on Stereogum, much to my delight. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve fallen asleep to Matthew Cooper’s music (would be kinda hard I guess, since I fell asleep and all). His sound is perfect for long car rides into a vast abyss, staring out the window as… Continue reading [MP3] Eluvium: “Leaves Eclipse The Light”
[MP3] The Knife: “Colouring Of Pigeons”
Um, so you know The Knife? The Swedish electronic duo that people/critics tend to like? Wellllll they’ve collaborated on a Charles Darwin-inspired opera called Tomorrow, in a Year and have given us a look at it with “Colouring of Pigeons.” I mean, it’s like, The Knife, you know? But it’s kind of operatic, I guess?… Continue reading [MP3] The Knife: “Colouring Of Pigeons”
Old Abram Brown
I know I know, we all want to get that Pigeons lady image (or whatever you wanna call it) down the page as fast as possible! Blam(i)e Jamie! But trust me, this post isn’t forced – it’s rather the opposite. I’ve been sitting on these fellas for several days, and I think now’s an appropriate… Continue reading Old Abram Brown
[MP3] Pigeons: “Tendresse”
Chocolate Bobka and Pitchfork have been calling “Tendresse” by Bronx group Pigeons “one of the most slept on songs of 2009,” which is enough of a statement to warrant a listen, in my book. As it turns out, it is a pretty interesting song. As CB notes, and I happened to notice as well, it… Continue reading [MP3] Pigeons: “Tendresse”
