New Track from Boogarins

boogarinsA short while ago we wrote about Brazilian act Boogarins, and it’s time that we return with another track from the band.  It’s really hard to decide where to group these lads, genre-wise, which is perhaps great in its own spectrum.  I hear bits of oddity like you’d find on a Flaming Lips LP, but also toucuhes of collage/instrumental artists such as The Go! Team and Ratatat.  All these signs, and the pop sensibility of the vocals point to good things from the band when their debut record, As Plantas Que Curam, comes out on October 1st via Other Music Recordings.  Let this tune blow your mind.

New Power Twee From Ex Cops

I love that this song is labeled as power twee by the folks trying to drum up publicity for this Brooklyn based band Ex Cops.  I’m into it because I’ve never heard music labeled as such, and it totally fits the style of this band.  It really does have this sort of soft-spoken power behind the twee overtones, that gives it this driving pop sound I’m finding irresistible.  Here’s to you loving it as much as me.

You can get your hands on the new Ex Cops album, True Hallucinations, on Januaray 22nd via Other Music Recordings.
