Their last release was one of my "must-hear" albums of 2009, and this one is great as well. Here's the opening track:

Wye Oak - "I Hope You Die"

Sounds like it would be a little malicious but its really not.

The EP is out now digitally via Merge.

This band laid the foundation for Broken Social Scene, as it's core members were Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin, and a bunch of other people contributed on their second album (they only had two). If you're a fan of BSS you will love this, although its different--- mostly instrumental, but it keeps the same summery rock feel. Oh, warm weather.

Hear some songs at their unofficial MySpace, or read about them at their wiki page.

"My Time" the opening track on the record. The main thing to note is it's got keyboards instead of their usual guitar overload, so it's a neat change. Don't expect this on the whole record though, this is a guitar band!

mp3: Minus The Bear - "My Time"

"Into The Mirror", the seventh track on the album, along with b-side "Broken China", was released late last year. Check my post on it here.

Omni Tracklist:

1. My Time - 4:05
2. Summer Angel - 4:45

6. The Thief - 4:33

There are plenty of influences to be heard in this band's sound, but I feel like this Mathemagic remix really puts it together into something unique.

mp3: CFCF - "Big Love (Mathemagic Remix)"

If you're planning on hitting up SXSW in Texas later this week, CFCF will be there.

This track is off a 7" that is an absolute must-have IMO if you like either band. They remix each others tracks, and Small Black plays "Weird Machines" live as a bonus track, and that one is particularly awesome.

While Washed Out is one of the cornerstone/breakthrough "chillwave" acts out there and while I think a lot of his stuff is overrated, this disc definitely delivers.  Very energetic yet not overloaded.

Make sure to get the rest if you like this!!!

It's hard to come across music as relaxed/contemplative as this. I'll leave it at that...

Grouper - "Vessel"

The track is off a split EP with Roy Montgomery.

It sounds nothing like the original, but it's  one of the better chillwave songs I've heard, so download it!

And what you get. http://musicleech.com/2010/02/27/my-last-fm-recommendations/ http://musicleech.com/2010/02/27/my-last-fm-recommendations/#comments Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:15:10 +0000 Mark Jackson http://musicleech.com/?p=3343 Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> I don't use last.fm radio as much as I should, and I know this because I tuned in to my "recommended radio" for the first time in months, and what do you know, I only skipped about two songs in a period of about an hour and a half. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't used the radio feature in so long that it has a queue of "highly recommended" artists and songs, or if it's just awesomely smart.

Regardless, here are some tracks that came up that I really like and that I think you will too. Enjoy!

Ecstatic Sunshine - Perrier
Real Estate - Suburban Beverage
Crocodiles - I Wanna Kill
Lovvers - Human Hair
Brother Ali - Truth Is
If you don't have a last.fm yet, what are you doing!! and friend me while you're at it!

B-more dream poppers are set to release a new EP on Record Store Day, April 14th. Their latest album Teen Dream just came out last month, and it was an interesting shift-- the songs being more crisply than their past two albums. It seems to have worked for them because the album gained much more attention than it's predecessors. Here's a cut off the EP, "The Arrangement".

mp3: Beach House - "The Arrangement"

Zebra EP tracklist:

01 Zebra (UK Radio Edit)
02 The Arrangement
03 Baby
04 10 Mile Stereo (Cough Syrup Remix)
