Coast through the remainder of your Friday on some soul vibes, courtesy of Mr. Bridges.
Ex Hex is the latest project from Helium veteran Mary Timony. Here is their new video.
The VSS is one of those bands I’ve always sort of been aware of (mostly owing to my year long Gravity Records kick in college), but never got around to listening to until recently, which turns out to be a real shame. In hindsight, it’s sort of embarrassing how many times I’ve listened to These Arms are Snakes and thought, “Man, I wish there were more bands that sound like this,” when The VSS seems like such an obvious influence on them. Better late than never, though, I suppose.
Seems like we’re always posting something from Ovlov. But I like them. Found this via Wondering Sounds who said:
There’s some of the same gurgle-and-pound that defined Dinosaur Jr.’s classic You’re Living All Over Me, but Ovlov are less stingy with hooks.
I do like Ovlov, but I wouldn’t mind if they were a bit more stingy with the hooks. It can still stick in your head which dino jr has done to me for years. Still, this is a good song.
In keeping with yesterday’s theme, the opening track of Dune Rat’s self titled LP might not be very deep, maaaannnnn, but goddamn if it ain’t fun anyways.
I enjoyed this. That’s a lot of hyphens in the subject line.
Who needs subtlety when you can bash out anthems like this?
I picked this up after hearing about it via the 7 Inches blog. If you aren’t following the 7 Inches blog. You should be.
Before I get to the song, I should mention that this is the second time in the past few days I’ve pretty shameless lifted my song of the day from Revolt of the Apes, so please do pay them a visit. You won’t regret it.
As for “Rot Inside”, it carries a bit of the dark and effortlessly cool vibes that Crystal Stilts have been cruising on since their inception, with a bit more of a cinematic, worldly feel to it. It will be on 8, out October 13th on Moon Glyph Records.
You can’t go wrong with Slant 6. BTW, this is being re-released on Dischord next week. Buy it. Check out this interview with Christina Billotte as well.
