Some good bands done some albums




I am disturbingly excited by the new of Montreal album Paralytic Stalks released last week . It's simply fantastic...






Next up, an old Exeter favourite Paddy Johnston & the love explosion did this short album songs on a comically small guitar which is lovely. You can download the tracks (for free) and read his blog over on his website.

Lastly, while we're on this theme - thought I'd slip in a mention of the bombay bicycle club - brilliant band I only discovered recently. They feel like a slightly less clean pheonix? anyway this is your eyes:

Zebra fucking Katz!

If you like your music low and unnerving them you will love this odd track by Brooklyn fella Zebra Katz, featuring Reddd Foxx:


This track is just as weird but a little less intimidating, infact it almost reminds me of a friend of mine...



I don't much out about this guy, but I'm pretty out of touch sometimes - I wouldn't be supprised to find out he's had a the Christmas number one and I wasn't paying attention. Anyway here is a mix of some of his tracks if you need more Katz:

Chill Please - I'm Hung over


First off, Thanks to everyone who came to noiseban.02.12 on Friday, at the Russian Bar. Great night.


Just thought i'd put together some superchilled out music to deal with the old sunday hang over:

first up, Hammock - Can almost see you.



Really nice band, check out all their stuff over at band camp where you can also buy their albums and jazz...

Next up, some good old fashioned Texan post-rock by The Clam Blue Sea with We happy few- check out their website for tour dates (mostly in the US).




Lastly is Paper Birds by the Icelandic band Parachutes who unfortunately split up in 2009. If you've noticed the likeness to sigur ross, its because they shared some band members. Following the break up, all of their albums have been released for free as explained in the Swedish bed music blog.

Chill & Trip Hop

First up, Got wind of this relatively unknown artist King Singh from Steve Strong over at White Elephant Clothing. This track, 'wood or wire?' has a sweet video and is probably his best work so far. check it out:



Download the track here,

Next up, Whilst reading the musigh blog I came across an artist we used to play far too much on the Ralph and Joe show back on XpressionFM, I am of course talking about emancipator:



That track was Nevergreen - Which you can download here


Lastly, one of the pioneers of the Genre, DJ Krush: with Day's end. Enjoy!



By the way, the next noiseban is on Friday the 2nd of December, click attending on facebook for guest list.

French!

Justice have a new album out, and the title track is pretty self descriptive; "Audio, Video, Disco".
It seems like a million years since they released the single "Civilization" and this time they've ditched the rock guitar and drums for some smooth synth sounds. The first thing I though when I heard the track AVD was these guys are unmistakably French. It isn't just their accents, this track seems to pull together bits of Air, Daftpunk's more relaxed songs and a touch of Yuksek. I can't tell you what it is about this song, but it's definitely French.
Yuksek's album "Living on the Edge of Time" was out this summer, I recommend getting a copy. This is his latest single, "Always On The Run":

Also Check out Villa's balearic remix:
Yuksek - Always on the Run (VillA remix) by VILLA (Official)
Seeing as I mentioned Air I have to play this:


PS: Noiseban .02.12 is on Friday 2nd December
