Video: Atlas Sound – “Quick Canal” (feat. Lætitia Sadier)

by Mark Jackson on November 18th, 2009

I guess you can call it Atlas Sound day on musicleech. Been posting slowly lately because of school work, but I do have one other thing I want to share today. Will post it right after this. Anyway, this is the video for Atlas Sound’s epic 8-minute crescendo “Quick Canal” featuring Stereolab’s Lætitia Sadier on vocals. It mostly [...]

Interview: Atlas Sound

by Mark Jackson on November 18th, 2009

If you’re curious about the man behind the music (Deerhunter/Atlas Sound), Pitchfork just did a really comprehensive interview. He said he wasn’t planning on doing that many interviews so that he would just go ahead and open himself up to a lot of questions.

Doom & Ghostface Killah – “Angels”

by Mark Jackson on November 16th, 2009

Doom recently released Unexpected Guests, and as with the rest of his stuff, it’s in-your-face abstract hip-hop. Apparently a lot of the tracks on the album have already been released, so in a way it’s a compilation (a decent pickup for newcomers, although Born Like This is better IMO), but there are a handful of [...]

The Hood Internet Mixtape Vol. 4

by Mark Jackson on November 15th, 2009

The Chicago indie vs. hip-hop mash-up duo is back with number four and you will not be disappointed! A lot of really hot tracks on here (as usual). I’m most of the way through and I think it’s their best one yet.

Head over to their website for the download links (it’s free).

Atlas Sound – Virtual 7″ No. 7

by Mark Jackson on November 12th, 2009

Only a few weeks after the release of Logos, Bradford Cox is back with another couple tracks to help hold you over until the next Deerhunter album. The first track is something different from Bradford, a cover of the doo-wop band Five Discs’ “Doctor”. The second is a new slow one called “The Screens”. Grab [...]

Bluskreen (guitarist from Sinch) – Mockup

by Mark Jackson on November 12th, 2009

Tony Lannutti, guitarist for the hard rock band Sinch, just released his second electronic album Mockup under the name Bluskreen. It’s very inviting, using uncomplicated sound structures and the usual array of instruments to make free-flowing instrumentals. Head over to http://music.bluskreen.com to stream or download the album. He also has some cool free samples you [...]

RJD2′s Home Studio

by Mark Jackson on November 11th, 2009

Well this is always fun. RJD2, one of my favorite DJs, shows us around his home studio, but not before he shows us his skillz in the kitchen. The interviewer annoys me because his questions pertain mostly (all?) to the equipment rather than the music, but nevertheless it’s definitely cool to watch if you’re a [...]
