mixtape #7

most of these bands are new to me.
and i know nothing about them.
they all have a similar vibe though.

liars is an exception – i have all their albums & eps.
i’m looking forward to their upcoming record Sisterworld.
i can’t say i love all their releases but i am always drawn back to them as a band and listen again and again.

i do know of Blank Dogs. and again, like liars, i can’t say i like everything but i recently took another listen and this track caught me enough to buy it.

Hollow Tongues is a different vibe from the other songs but i still like it in the mix.
i don’t know anything about this band. stereogum had two songs for download.
i opted to only keep this one. i couldn’t make it through the other.
check out both tracks HERE.

my favorite in this find of new music hands down is Vibes. this song is just rediculous enough for me to love it. not rediculous in a bad way. just the lo-fi production and the lyrics – at least what i could make out. just made me laugh. plus the cover for this 7″ is pretty epic.
i might have to order it HERE just to have it.

none of this is exactly xmas music but i can’t say i really like xmas music.
i do have one song that i will post separately that is xmas-y and it’s pretty radical.
