the golden arches.



Arches - Headlights

words cannot even explain how enamored i am with this new album from philly's own arches. it's a simplistic slice of psychedelic pie that just begs for you to fall in love. you can stream the entire album on their bandcamp HERE.

i've been stuck on this like elizabeth taylor to husbands for the past week & imagine my surprise when the guys posted a julian lynch cover to their tumblr today. as if they weren't cool enough already......

saturday morning fever.



Honeydrum - Saturday Morning

if a monotone indian drum circle with a splash of lo-fi is something you'd be interested in then you're going to love new jersey's honeydrum. and this is another band that's keepin' it real with the $5 cassette tapes!

fucked up friends.



Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Ffunny Frends

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Thought Ballune

this week i've been soaking up the r&b infused sounds from portland's unknown mortal orchestra. apparently ruban nielson, of the mint chick's fame, is the brains behind this project & while they tend to go down the noise pop road UMO's road is paved with a little more jamie lidell/tobacco.

well this really melts my butter.



now if anyone could make my heart stop by covering 'agoraphobia' this would be the band. while this whole little session is fantastic, skip to the 9:50 mark to get to the goods.

insane in the membrane.



Brain Idea - Days Blown Away

Brain Idea - One More Time

anyone who knows me knows i love my scuzzy, low fidelity tunes. this time it comes courtesy of chicago trio brain idea with tracks from their debut album, the survival scrolls.

so go ahead...get all rob gordon on it.
