From last year’s Sonic Bloom, which is still getting heavy play on my iPod. The entire second half of the album crushes, but it all comes to a head on closer “The New World”. Best experienced live, if you get the chance.

People tend to lump Codeine in with the slowcore movement, but I always thought they came off a lot more sinister than Low and their ilk. Exhibit A is “Cigarette Machine” off of Frigid Stars, which wouldn’t sound out of place on Spiderland or some of the other stuff coming out of Louisville at the time.
Chugging noise rock from Atlanta’s Whores. I regretfully missed them when they played Pittsburgh a few months ago, so we’ll all just have to live vicariously through this video of the band burning through the song live:
Here’s some Sunday afternoon interstellar radio gospel for you.
Taken from the duo’s (?) upcoming LP Complete Surrender, due out in a few weeks. RIYL cinematic chamber pop a la Camera Obscura.
Had to hurry up and post this before Jim did, cause I know he’s way into this album, too. You can definitely hear a DC lineage in the music, and the vocals remind me of Nick Cave at his Birthday Party-est/most unhinged. If you like this song, you’ll definitely dig the rest of their new EP, out now on Don Giovanni records.
Here’s one I can’t play on the radio show. This is off the free album Death Grips dropped out of nowhere about a month ago, which is apparently part of an even bigger project. If those female vocals sound familiar, it’s probably because they chopped up a ton of Bjork samples and put them in every single track on the LP.
Heady psych jam from these krauty Pittsburghers. Ex-Modey Lemon. Hang around until about halfway through, when the groove really kicks in.
Heyoooo… hope you’re all enjoying Jim’s songs of the day. I’m gonna start getting in on that action starting tomorrow, but for now here’s what I played on the radio show Sunday:
