Dexture

All relevant to your life: 5min clip about Dexture (like texture), he likes to fix things, something gets fixed, there's a death in the family and, well that's about it really its pretty short. Great cameo performance/music by Jake Dietz. Many layers,illusions, and modern art.

Neon Indian- Psychic Chasms

This kid (Alan Palomo) was born in Mexico and grew up very close to me in Denton, Texas. He produced this album out of Austin, and over the past few weeks it has been getting mad hype from various reviewers (maybe a little too much so). Nonetheless it is a great album and I've been really digging it the past two weeks, it sounds a lot like Nite Jewel synths, and the lyrics are (somewhat) comprehensible and pretty dope at times. Check it out and give it a passive listen, hope you enjoy.

Memory Tapes- Seek Magic, Treeship

Seek Magic has some really great melodies, nice listening tunes. Great for chilling hard and skateboard cruises. Party vibes through some songs, but also great zome parts. Ages well. Songs flow together so well that it's hard to differentiate them, repeated listening makes it better.

Treeship is a great one-songer that's 28 min long, terrific ambiance, much more vast, slow soundscapes.Good for the right occasions. sleep and contemplation being two of them.

Beansprouts- Songs to Accompany The New Testament

This album consists of interweaving loops of the famed African Juju music, if you've never heard of it, well I don't blame you, but you NEED to check this out its a great introduction to the vastness of non-American world hits. Easily the happiest sounds to ever come out of Africa. This album combines many of the greatest hits from Juju into manageable samples that will make you happy no matter how un-human you are. If you're feeling down and want a carefree pick me up, or if you just dig world music in all its splenda than check this shit out your ears will be so pleased you did. A smile or two is bound to come free. The producer's pretty dope too, its only his first release but dayum way to slay it.

Nite Jewel- Want You Back EP & Good Evening

Let me start of by saying i want to marry this chick, her music is a spacey synthy spectacled look into the glorious 80's from a drug induced 21st century perspective. Shame on all you cats who label this hipster trash, you're shallow, this chick is fantastic in her own glorious right. Voice magic, truly. good for mind dances and what not, lose yourself in it, you wont regret it. I'm feverishiously working to make beats for her vocal mix of Want You Back. That songs so dope. its all dope, open minds open minds friends. oh and im writing this from a plane? apparently they get wi-fi now and its free. space cadet 2009.

p.s. Ramona Gonzales, you're the shit come to Chicago sometime please.
p.sss. drink wine with friends and dream

Broadcast- The Noise Made By People

Released in the year 2000, this album is a beautifully engineered dream pop hit. Although it failed to chart in either the U.S. or U.K. it was critically acclaimed for its terrific flow and haze. Broadcast is a British quintet that has released over 7 albums in the past decade; Trish Keenan's voice always projects a dreamy, careless, beautifully flowing tonality, paired with the drifty instrumentation of James Cargill and cats creates soundscapes that border the lines of bliss and misfortune. Broadcast usually throws in some raunchy samples to keep you awake, yet this album opts out of this approach mostly in trade for a less abrasive sound. Think Stereolab, but in my opinion a little more mysterious. Great music to smoke and chill to, highly recomended.
