Nuggets 93 – Morning Voices

“..and don’t send me any of that wimpy stuff.” So I didn’t.

I get lost on Bandcamp and here is what I found…

Cover and tunes on the way.

 

First up Motopony from Seattle, a one man band that recently got bigger and now make hard-soul/glitch-folk indie-rock. Great video and love the song. No so sure about the rabbit (?) fur jacket.

Motopony

 

Little Scout practice dreampop from Melbourne.

 Little Scout

 

Buy Yung Life from his bandcamp page, or download it for free. His bedroom experimental music comes to you from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Youth's Hours

 

Acid Flashback have no existence apart from the playlist on their Myspace page.

I Love Your Magic

 

Neat Beats can be found on Bandcamp where they peddle their wonky trip-hop. They hail from San Diego. Buy their music in bits and bytes or in vinyl.

Neat Beats

 

Korea in the Space, yeah, naff name and very unhelpful team photo. From Pittsburgh. This track and others free on bandcamp if you like their twitchy lofi.

Korea in Space

 

Klaus Von Barrel, aka Die Jungen – hails from Southampton. This does little to explain the name, or the photo below… Wistful. Free from bandcamp.

Die Jungen

Shimmering Stars make spare yet beaty musak. From Vancouver. Music here on bandcamp.

Shimmering Stars - Violent Hearts

 

Teen Suicide, not sure where they are from, probably not the London band of the same name. This track from their album, Bad Vibes For Ever – glum.. Free on bandcamp.

bad vibes forever

 

Deamdate – Anna Hillburg (bass, vocals) and Yea-Ming Chen (guitar, vocals) from Oakland, California. Less wistful, tuneful.

Dreamdate

 

The Handsome Family – serious about their music, or even just serious.

Through the Trees

 

Steffalo – from LA, has recorded with Blackbird blackbird. Buy her tunes here.

Meet Me in Montauk

 

J. Irvín Dally – Californian artist. Too talented for his own good. Visit bandcamp for more.

Nuggets 190a – Morning voices

It’s Sunday and yours truly is at the office. Here is a mix to get me to the end of my allotted tasks and back to my family (not to mention the tele for more footy).  I will find a picture later.

This mix is a combination of woozy dreamscape’y songs, slowcore and a jazz number. Love the slowcore sound of Bedhead (now playing as New Year).

eden ahbez was colourful. Perhaps the world’s first hippie he lived for a while under the one of L’s above Hollywood.

I have included versions of songs recorded as Daytrotter sessions. They are often more compelling than the slick versions available on CD’s. Wikipedia is spot on.

The process of attempting the perfect take, instead of months of overdubbing, combined with low pressure on the artists (it’s not a live performance in front of a crowd, and it’s not an album being recorded), causes the final product to be an honest representation of the band at the time in both a physical and musical sense.
