MP3s from the now defunct Europe in Colour

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] 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”
