Purling Hiss

I've been fan of the whole Woodsist label for awhile, so I always check out new bands that release albums through them. When I found out the newest entry to the Woodsist family is a band from Philly I had to check it out.

Purling Hiss is Mike Polizze of Philadelphia's own fuzzy stoner rock group, Birds of Maya. Their 3rd album, and Woodsist debut is a nice little album called Public Service Announcement. So I gave it a listen and it sounds pretty wild. It drifts from noisy drugged out 70's inspired psych rock, dreamier tracks that sprawl into decent jams, and then sometimes just noise under water. Give it a listen:

Even MORE new Real Estate, almost new Panda Bear

This is just getting out of hand. Real Estate has been on a tour in Japan as of late and debuted another new song (whoops!). I wonder what its like. Y'know, to be a part of a band of music making robots. Well, here you go, enjoy:

Also, the new Panda Bear single "Last Night At the Jetty" which is due out December 6th surfaced today briefly but within minutes was already taken down again. Seriously, I saw it was posted around 12:30pm, and its about 12:45 right now. Sorry, wasn't quick enough to get it up here. Apparently its a hazy track with heavy reverb. Oh well. I'll keep on looking for it.

WEEKEND TIME DANCE TIL MONDAY

Bye.

Sweet Lights

I've really been digging on this Philly pop group called Sweet Lights. Warm songs for November. Here's two songs:

Here's a new music video they just released.

Stuck in my head.

If anyone finds anything by this woman, ever...

Let me know.

New Volcano Choir, more new Real Estate, new Wolf Parade

So many odds and ends popping up!

Found this little guy. A video of Justin Vernon's Volcano Choir. Good fall tunes:

Also, more Real Estate. In the past month its been a new single, Ducktails announcing an album, and now this cover of John Lennon's "Mind Games" featuring Bradford Cox of Deerhunter. Pretty busy dudes. There was a video of it that's since been taken off of youtube, so here's a link.

ALSO, Wolf Parade just came out with another non-album single. Here's a link.

Give us some time to breath, guys!

Ducktails - Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics

(old album cover, don't be fooled)

Hello,

So I've been a really big fan of Matthew Mondanile's pleasant, mellow instrumental pop project Ducktails. I was sold ever since I heard this recording of Ducktails playing "Let's Rock the Beach" (now better known from being a track on Real Estate's self titled album) sometime last year. Good news! is that the Matthew Mondanile (also of Real Estate) just announced a third album entitled Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics set to release on January 10th on Woodsist. All those Real Estate dudes are pretty busy! Here's a little sample of some old goodness.

and new goodness.

Bye.

Hear new Smith Westerns track "Weekend"

Oh my goodness! The Smith Westerns' self titled album has definitely been one of my favorites since it came out. Its been rejoining the rotation of albums I've been listening to a lot lately. The new one coming out on January 18th entitled Dye It Blond and I think there's good reason to be excited. So far, we've already heard "Imagine Pt. 3", a song that was released on a single and played live a ton. WELL NOW we're given another little tidbit from Fat Possum, "Weekend", the lead off track from the album. Its classic Smith Westerns glam pop, only this time with a bit more of a budget:
