February 29, 2012 § Leave a comment


Taken from the ‘Mellem Dine Læber’ EP.
Out now on Plug (iTunes).

#Wednesday. It’s been a good long while since we listened to this last, but one thing leads to another when it comes to music libraries as we all well know – so here we are again. Happy leaping.

The Magnetic North – Bay Of Skaill

February 27, 2012 § Leave a comment

Taken from the album ‘Orkney: Symphony Of The Magnetic North’
Out 7/5/2012 on Full Time Hobby (link)

#Monday. We can get into a good concept album as much as the next Stan when the mood strikes (see Unruly Dogs for supporting evidence). Bad ones we are, unsurprisingly, not so sure about. This free download from the forthcoming debut by The Magnetic North – inspired by an in dream visitation from a suicide victim of the late 1700s that takes the island of Orkney as it’s principle subject matter – has all the markings of being one of the former. Visit The Magnetic North website here.

Sleigh Bells – Comeback Kid

February 17, 2012 § Leave a comment

Taken from the album ‘Reign Of Terror’
Released 20 February on Columbia (iTunes)

#Friday. Repeated behavioral experiments have shown that we start maxing out on Sleigh Bells exposure at somewhere around the 9 minute mark. That’s alright though – it’s almost the weekend, we’re so not in the mood for listening to anything vaguely ambient right now and we should still have the capacity to listen to this two more times in the next 12 hours without melting.

Veronica Falls – My Heart Beats

February 10, 2012 § Leave a comment

#Friday. A new tune from Veronica Falls that’s been keeping us moving forwards this morning. We love the first 35 seconds in particular, but the other 142 ain’t half bad either.

Julia Holter – In the Same Room

Taken from the album ‘Ekstasis’.
Released 8/3/2012 on RVNG Intl (Shop)

Stan says: #StillOnlyWednesday. A soothing slab of mesmeric beauty and one of our favourite tunes heard so far from Holter’s forthcoming sophomore album.
