Delorean Release A Great Track

Leave a comment

DeloreanI owe you all an apology. This track was available as a free download for one day. I missed it. *sniffle* Sorry friends.

BUT, you can still play it all over the place on streaming services and I think this is the best Delorean song since the Ayrton Senna EP. “Bena”, featuring backing vocals from Hanin Zueiter, is the B-Side to “Crystal”; they got them backwards, IMHO. The band has their own label now, called PHLEX, so expect more stuff to hit whenever they feel like it.

Have a Nice Weekend

This track by A Copy For Collapse, an Italy-based duo making strong synth-driven darkwave, is called “Grey Sunday” so I will forgive you if you withhold playback to be clever and/or aprapos. It seems to go nowhere and everywhere at the same time by adding and pulling back circular elements, buoyed by a vocal skillfully buried in effects, as it puts you in that hypnotic state that causes the dreamy defocus. No Sense of Place Records put out the record Waiting For jsut a little bit ago, available here.

*but you are not allowed to stay home tomorrow. #austinrecordlabelfleamarket

PYAITK: I Dig This New Division Track

Leave a comment

We first featured The New Division a few years back with a track called “Opium”. While they have sent out some work recently, this one stuck with me. The new record Gemini is being released June 2nd and “Copycat” has been my favorite thing previewed so far. It is the synthy goodness I fall sucker to with bass-lines that evolve from disco to wave and darker progressions, eliciting M83 and all bands that influenced them.

So I share, because I care.

Have A Nice Weekend

l1krxxmwzbja8ea3tpliLove me some Ghostly International. We’ve stepped up hip hop coverage with Tactic joining the team. I traditionally find the zeros and ones when Nate doesn’t beat me to it (or I hate looking at music related stuff after SxSW photo processing benders). This track will be the closer to Ghostly Swim 2, available to sample and pre-order now; it is a fourteen track compilation featuring the likes of Shigeto, Heathered Pearls and CFCF. Galcher Lustwerk’s “In The Place” takes a beautiful sonic landscape and layers party rhymes delivered in a monotone smoothness that lets you just focus on the cadence with words disappearing or smile as the juxtapostion of being about it is delivered over the sonic landscape.

In it to win it. Check out a few other tracks on Ghostly Swim 2 here.

Martin Gore Announces New Album

Leave a comment

Photo Copyright Travis ShinnI make no bones about my love of Depeche Mode. I even cried at a show a few years back; I miss my Maggie dog, they got me with the sad doggies on the video screen during “Precious”, it was an emotional time, family stuff, whatever, man enough to admit it.

Anyway, the driving force behind Depeche Mode has always been Mr. Martin L. Gore. You will see that name on the writing credits for every song, only joined by David Gahan a few times. The guy is a prolific songwriter, I even have a rather rare “solo” album where Gahan still provides vocals. Depeche Lite? But Martin’s latest project is truly solo, instrumental electronic music and the preview track is wonderful. Solemn and melancholy, as could be expected, it works as a great prelude to the album called MG due in April on Mute Records because you want it to be five minutes longer.

Get Your Disco Electro Fix

Leave a comment

lindstromLindstrøm has teamed up with Grace Hall to get you through your day, your night, your party, your after-party with nine minutes of Disco slanted electronica. Grace is in Skin Town, an LA based duo doing dance stuff. LA, Skin Town, I get it.

Anyway, Lindstrøm has been an ATH IT Deopartment favorite because he has a style, but collaborates with just about anyone to produce something a little bit new. This latest jam, due on 4/6 via Feedelity is pretty stuff and when you click play, pick whether you want to zone out or get up. Take me to the (synthetic) bridge…

Night Drive Release New Music + Video

Leave a comment

Night DriveIf you have taken our advice over the last couple of months, you would have already heard this song during a Night Drive set. “Easy to Lie” was an instant ATH IT Department favorite; slightly droning, shimmy inducing, ringing guitar layer. Just so happens, this jam is now available for streaming at the Night Drive soundcloud and to push things over the top, they did a video for the song. It is a stylish throwback, something these guys get pegged for musically, so it all feels right. Click here for iTunes buying.

Confetti.

Stream the track below or click through to watch the video…

Title Track From Barbarossa’s Imager

Leave a comment

BarbarossaNathan forwarded this track over to the IT Dept. and within a few seconds of clicking the stream it link, I knew I was going to post it. Tones, contrast, waves progressing and complementing, a controlled vocal effect…

Barbarossa is James Mathé, he comes to us with an impressive resume, working with Jose Gonzalez and Junip, has a couple of solo records already, but the latest is aimed squarely at the IT Department. Gradually layered, but with spaces between, melancholy and elegant, you can download the title track at the site linked for the price of an email address. The album is due May 11th on Memphis Industries.

PYAITK: New Chromatics

Leave a comment

ChromaticsI didn’t miss it, but I didn’t post it. I am sorry. I was sidetracked and found a buried tab.

Chromatics will release their latest album called Dear Tommy in March on Italians Do It Better (of course) and to celebrate, they are sharing a track every week (allegedly) and we start the sharing with “JUST LIKE YOU”. It is a slowly evolving tune that never loses its way. I tend to like anything Chromatics and this is no exception. Download via the soundcloud thingy down there.

Check Out Vessels

Leave a comment

1932274_10152637217368725_8071902935186133269_nI have been allowed to listen to this new record from Vessels. It is called Dilate and it is an early best-of 2015 for me. I have a feeling it will stick with me through the year. To help intro you, XLR8R has offered up “Echo In” for download. Comprised of five lads from Leeds, they layer in depth to what is happening and I want to see this live.

Seriously, this record is outstanding and I call this merely an intro track.
