New Thom Yorke “The Daily Mail” “Give Up The Ghost” & “Mouse Dog Bird” + Live Bootleg

New Thom Yorke The Daily Mail Give Up The Ghost & Mouse Dog Bird + Live Bootleg bootlegs

A reader sent in this recording of Thom Yorke’s concert in Cambridge, where he played a whole bunch of new tunes. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that they are new Radiohead songs, but everyone-else’s fingers are pointing to Thom Yorke’s silly new side-project (they’re all silly for the most part, aren’t they?), Atoms For Peace. Download the mp3s of Thom performing the three new tracks, “The Daily Mail”,  “Give Up The Ghost” and “Mouse Dog Bird”:

The Pass “Colors”

The Pass Colors mp3

I introduced you to electro-pop quartet, The Pass, last month, to a great response, something that’s always exciting when dealing with a brand new band. Now The Pass are offering up the title track from their Colors EP for you all to download.

“Colors”, instantly likable and kinetic, is cut from the same A-Grade cloth of indie pop that made Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix one of the late ’00s most memorable records. You can listen to and download “Colors” below, and make sure you also have the Pass’ debut single “Crosswalk Stereo”, which you can download for free right here.

The Ravonettes “Heart of Stone”

The Ravonettes Heart of Stone mp3

The Raveonettes “Heart of Stone” takes the Danes’ customary ethereal, ghostly vocal harmonies and layers them over an echoey, twangy guitar line reminiscent of a western movie. It’s a sad song, but a fascinating one; intertwined vocals and a rhythm it’s easy to lose yourself in wrap you up from the first listen. “Heart of Stone” is like an endless highway, a black-and-white detective film – vaguely sinister but mostly transfixing.

The song’s music video is as dark, mysterious, and ornate as the song itself, with imagery akin to that dreamed up by Tim Burton – an animated Rube Goldberg machine of heartbreak. Watch it below, and catch “Heart of Stone” in our latest (and best, if I do say so myself) PMACAST. Continue reading →

New She & Him “Thieves” (FREE MP3)

New She & Him Thieves (FREE MP3) favorite songs

Last week, She & Him stopped by the BBC and performed a life set that included this gorgeous little number. After gushing over the live version of “Thieves”, my good friends at Pop Librarian and Tsururadio pointed me to the wonderful studio recording.

It isn’t known if this recording of “Thieves” is the final version that we will be listening to on Volume Two, but it’s wholly satisfying nonetheless. Thanks to the newly revamped Stereogum, we now have the final MP3 version of the track, which you can download for free below, and fif you’re interested, you can still download Vol. Two first single “In The Sun” for free as well: Continue reading →

The New Pornographers “Your Hands (Together)”

The New Pornographers Your Hands (Together) mp3

A.C. Newman, Neko Case and the rest of the New Pornographer gang is back with a new album entitled Together, which is hitting stores on May 4th — the same day the new Broken Social Scene and Flying Lotus albums come out. Matador has also announced that St. Vincent, Beirut’s Zach Condon and Okkervil River’s Will Sheff will be making guest appearances on the new album.

The New Pornographers are giving away “Your Hands (Together)”, which is, I’m assuming, where the album gets its title from. The track is also the first sample we’ve been giving from Together. You can download the track below, and pre-order the new album at the Matador online storefront.

PMACAST No.028

PMACAST No.028 podcastsOriginal photograph by Rodrigo M

I took a break from from the PMACAST for a few weeks because I wasn’t feeling particularly inspired to come up with a significant group of songs to line up for you. The last PMACAST was directed by remix artist RAC and became the most popular installment yet, with nearly 16,000 downloads.

This one goes out to Six Feet Under, for inspiring this mix. I just finished watching the entire series on Blu-Ray yet again. It took all I had to refrain from using Sia’s “Breathe Me”.

Caribou “Odessa”

Caribou Odessa favorite songs
“Odessa,” the first single from Caribou’s upcoming LP Swim, is sexy. “Elctropop” and “disco” are often used in the description of the song, and, indeed, “Odessa” is more reminiscent of bands like Hot Chip or Hercules and Love Affair than Caribou’s previous material. A prominent bassline, a little house vibe that would make the good people of Jersey Shore proud, tender vocals, production tricks – all wrapped up into one synthy, eighties-y package. “Odessa” sounds like it is emerging from a dark place, coming to smoke a cigarette out on the street in the rain. It would have to be summertime, it would have to be sweaty, there would have to be a flickering streetlight somewhere.

Like Hot Chip and Hercules and Love Affair, Caribou’s new disco bent doesn’t focus on that hot club ecstasy so much as a weird, strangely melancholy sensuality. Added to the video – a woman stumbling and driving through fog, smoke, and ghostly, disconnected memories – “Odessa” tells a strange, captivating story of love, loss, and escape. And it works like a charm.

You can download “Odessa” below, and catch the music video after the jump:

Girls’ cover version of the song appears as a B-Side on their new UK single “Morning Light“, which is out tomorrow, February 22 on Fantasytrashcan/Turnstile.
