If you’d asked us yesterday what a Becoming Real remix of Banjo Or Freakout might sound like we wouldn’t have said xylophone club banger, yet here it is. But then yesterday we didn’t know Mr Real is busy writing his dissertation about 9/11 and its representation in art, and today we do. Learn much more [...]

We have no idea who the mysterious Silver Columns is/are but this song sounds like Jimmy Somerville playing Mario Kart and that can only be a good thing. After the jump he/they talk dog shit and “the MP3 equivalent of AIDS.” Silver Columns – Brow Beaten [mp3]

As Campfires are from Chicago this song is probably not about Bargain Hunt or Loose Women, so we will have to wait a little longer for our favourite shows to ignite musical inspiration. What we do have is stacked high with tottering, tumble-down charm, and blazing with a wild, ashy warmth that will sting your [...]

It could be the sheet rain, the dead raven on our doorstep or the fact that we’ve broken out the winter coats, but music is starting to feel a bit like the end of Ghostbusters. Before they even strike a note Blessure Grave warn of serious injury and they do not shy from this pitch [...]

[Photo: Shay Peretz] We’re not sure why The Muslims changed their once awesome name to The Soft Pack, nor why this is called a remix when it’s clearly a cover. Maybe it’s what Phoenix would sound like had they grown up in leathers gargling gin instead of quaffing chamomile in chinos. There are tons more [...]

This song opens with a Matthew McConaughey sample so of course we’re going to love it, but its charm doesn’t end with the romcom Brando. It sounds like the best high school party ever, and Assassins 88 only came to do two things, kick some ass and drink some beer. Looks like we’re almost out [...]

[Photo by Owen Richards] For this week’s D2P I caught up with the fantastic Fair Ohs. We spoke about dude culture and a variety of dudes. Read it and listen to their awesome Almost Island at The FADER.

[Pic via ilovehotdogs] Blood Orange is a playful new project from the ever-dexterous Dev Hynes. He sent us two new tracks for your delectation, a six-stringed flight through the neon-stripped night, and a sunrise cruise through the catacombs of Queens. He calls this a “wanky experiment” and the results are empirically awesome. Blood Orange – [...]

Dan Svizeny is our kind of dude. As Cough Cool he writes woozy songs for sweethearts and epic jams for the rest of us. This track is from a Woven Tones split with the amazing Wild Safari. After the jump Dan extols the many virtues of Ween. Cough Cool – Flower Reading [mp3]

When His Clancyness sends us songs they invariably end up on here, such is their unswerving awesomeness. And this summer we visited a pretty place called Malsescine on his recommendation. He’s a woozy troubadour and our personal travel adviser. He basically rules. Here is his latest offering, which lilts and laps at your toes like [...]
