James Pants: “The Eyes of the Lords” & “Seven Seals Theme” AUDIO

jamespants

i can’t pin down james pants‘ new album seven seals, which is what i like about it so much. sometimes it sounds like a krautrock record but that isn’t true at all. still awe-struck that he is from spokane..buy it:

Description: Seven Seals was made while reading mystical books and the book of Revelations, and inspired by being in the mood to start a cult. This is the cult’s soundtrack.

Walls: “burnt sienna master” AUDIO

Wall

walls are the perfect accompaniment to the weather happening in los anglees right now. a refreshing, cleansing rain after a long hot summer – washing our palette of the drenched out noise summer tracks we have been inundated with. i’m sure i’ll have grown tired with this sort of electro by the time the seasons change again (if that is possible in southern california) but for right now walls is perfect to me (via npip):

Mayer Hawthorne: “Green Eyed Love (Classixx Remix)” AUDIO

mayer

mayer hawthorne is an interesting beast – a straight crooner that on record invokes black soul/r&b of the 60s with an incredible talent for production, songwriting, and melody. he puts out records on the venerable stones throw, which is basically a carte blanche to do anything and have it turn out great so i’m not super surprised that the music hits so hard.

i am stoked on hist debut album a strange arrangement but even more stoked on the electro slant given to “green eyed love” by LA’s finest classixx. i can’t stop listening to this remix – classix strips away hawthorne’s production leaving only the song intact, pushing it in a completely different yet surprisingly fitting setting.

Cameo: "She's Strange" AUDIO

cameo

summer is slowly coming to a close – although with this week’s weather it seems like it is just peaking. i’ll miss these days of shorts, cuffed jeans, swimming, and acceptable malaise only to have them come back next year.

cameo is better known for other tracks but she’s strange is one of my favorites – it acts like a gradient between the hot summer sound pumping out of car windows on the CA-1 and the late-night oddity that is LA in the fall:

Washed Out: "New Theory" AUDIO

l_d8b740e0ca9240aeb7c25801c60cda45

i have been remiss in not posting anything on washed out yet. best of the electro-pop hazy/lofi acts happening right now. at the end of the day, it’s all about harmonies and a sense of clarity within the noise:

His Clancyness: "I Trust Your Way" + "Nothing and Nowhere To Go" AUDIO

l_a6c62692f5bc4ab0bc9e79906e03b950

his clancyness is a canadian ex-pat living in bologna. he hit me up with his music and we’ve been buds ever since. he even got us some nice features on some crazy far-out italian blogs. i’ve been digging his music a lot (as has some more prominent members of the music establishment) so be sure to peep these tracks. the writing is on the wall so expect superhumanoids to be touring italy and day now.

the following two tracks are examples of his lo-fi prowess – ITYW is a great pop tune with some up-front vocals while NNTG builds off a nite jewel sample to do up a slow build dream-scape. the clancyness has a mixtape up for free download and also plays in a classic education.
