BlackbirdBlackbird - Euphoria
Dig this new goodness from chillwave producer Blackbird Blackbird out on XLR8R today. Looking forward to the new Erasers LP, due to drop late this summer (via Brooklyn’s Old Flame label). It can’t come quickly enough. MOARRRR MOAAARRRRR!!!
If BlackbirdBlackbird is new to you, head on over to check out the albums up for grabs on Bandcamp. They’re dirt cheap and the sonic treat is worth every last cent.

Braids - Lemonade
It’s not that they wanted to state the obvious, but sometimes little mantras like:
“What I’ve found is that we/ We’re all just sleeping around.”
Can be powerful defense mechanisms for even the most fortified of egos. They’re not tweens. This is not Braids coming to some kind of self discovery or enlightening realization - they’re holding a mirror up and reminding us all - themselves in particular - to keep our collective shit in check. Can’t get hurt if you keep it real, right?
These lyrics from Lemonade have gotten the most attention in the blogosphere for stating the obvious while people pass it off as profundity, but I feel that it’s neither their best nor most representative tune from the record. Lammicken is a personal fave, however.
Some have referenced Cocteau Twins and Animal Collective as obvious influences. Sure, I get that. Okay. I say, if you haven’t listened to Braids before - go into it expecting a kind of melding-together of Mazzy Star vocals backed by Boards of Canada / Album Leaf - like dreamy sequences.
All in all, good stuff. Go Canucks! Looking forward to hearing their audial progression. If you wanna read more, might I suggest this post on Tiny Mix Tapes.

Happy to have just discovered Sun Glitters - an electronica / chillwave / dubstep artist who was apparently put on this planet to make sure we all recognize Luxembourg is indeed still very much a country, and exporting some high calibre talent.
I dont think I’ve been so in love with sounds like this since Burial unleashed his progeny into the world. Really good stuff. If you want a real deal, go check his music out on bandcamp - you can snatch full albums for $5. (heh heh, I said snatch) #yesiam12
