The Slew

October 14, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

So hopefully you are familiar with the man known as Kid Koala and his famous work with Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Dan the Automator on the Deltron 3030 project. No? Go listen to it now. When you’re gone, get back with me and check out this new project from Kid Koala called The Slew. You’ll notice some familar head bobbing beats. The project has a new album out called 100% and you can download it all for free on their website. We’ve got the single track “You Turn me Cold”. Stop saying we don’t post about hip hop.

Cant

October 14, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

Cant is the new side project from full time Grizzly Bear bass player and producer Chris Taylor. At the time being the project has very little material available aside from this new MP3 “Ghosts”. This one appears on Cant’s one and only 7″ which is available today on brand new label Terrible Records. This vinyl issue is very limited in production so you better buy one now before they’re gone.

Fx3 Fest Spotlight: Yeasayer

October 13, 2009 RayRay 3 comments

Now that our ACL coverage has fully wrapped, it’s time to start focusing on the upcoming Fun Fun Fun Fest in early November. We’ll start things off just like we did with ACL and touch on a few bands that we’re excited about seeing during the festival. Starting our spotlight coverage off is Brooklyn based band Yeasayer. Being from Brooklyn in this day and age it’s easy to get lost in the massive quantity of bands coming out of the area. When you’ve got MGMT, A Place to Bury Strangers, Grizzly Bear, and countless other acts, one can easily forget about a great band like Yeasayer. We haven’t. The band first caught our ear after their incredible 2007 debut LP All Hour Cymbals and we’ve been hooked ever since. We’ve also seen the band live a few times now and we can say that this won’t be a set you want to miss over the Fun Fest weekend. The band is also said to be hard at work on their sophomore effort which is due out in January. You can catch Yeasayer at 6:45pm on Friday November 7th on the orange stage.

New Music From Charlotte Gainsbourg

October 12, 2009 RayRay One comment

News has been churning over the interwebs as of late about this new Charlotte Gainsbourg album that will feature major contributions from the always versatile Beck. This could really be sold as the latest Beck LP since he wrote the music, produced and even co-wrote the lyrics for the album. Regardless, the french singer/actress will release IRM in January via Elektra. Here’s the lead single from the upcoming album.
