By the way...
Just wanted to say sorry for posting nothing in far too long. The real world beckoned and I had to go off and do “normal people shit” for awhile. I hope to start posting my own compilations for download under the name City|City very soon, on top of my usual album posts.
Thanks for staying patient.
Sleepy Sun - Fever (2010) →
Now that the album is out, I feel I can post this without feeling bad, (despite the fact that I’ve been sitting on this album for a month or so now). This, good people, is one album I actually cannot stop listening to. San Francisco’s Sleepy Sun have come back from their debut album, Embrace, with a perfectly crafted psych-rock album. Now, I’m going to talk these guys up, as,...

Dr. Dog - Shame, Shame (2010) →
Following three records of lo-fi indie rock on Park the Van Records, Philadelphia’s Dr. Dog move up to the big leagues with Shame, Shame, their debut LP for Epitaph imprint Anti- Records. Continuing what they began on 2008’s Fate,Shame, Shame is a more modern-sounding spin on Dr. Dog’s signature 60’s revival sound, augmenting their Beatlesesque hooks with a more punk rock...
Chris Joss - 'Teraphonic Overdubs' (2008) →
“If Quincy, The Beach Boys, Terrahawks, Thunderbirds, Austin Powers and Buck Rogers went to a club on a night out then this is would probably be what they would be dancing to. If that doesn’t make sensethen look them all up on Wikipedia or YouTube. This is a 13 track masterpiece that crosses genres and time in its pursuit of a unique sounds that borrows 60’s sounds, breaks and...
Ancient Crux - 'Interracial Coupling' (2009) (EP) →
“Ancient Crux is the new project of 19 year old California resident Travis Von Sydow (he’s also a member of Rapid Youth). His debut EP entitled Interracial Coupling, out on Family Time records, is one of the most excited and refreshing pieces of new music I’ve heard in quite some time. From the second the record starts, the twang of the guitar and the stomp of the bass throw the listener...

Mathemagic - (assorted) →
Here is my gem of the day: Mathemagic are a two-piece outfit hailing from Guelph and Toronto, Ontario. I really don’t want to get too wordy on these guys so here are just a few:
Bliss. Swirl. Cold. Summertime. Codeine.
There. Anyhow, Mathemagic are proving there still exists some sort of sub-outlet where “unique chill-wave” is achieved- and it’s refreshing as hell.

Foxes in Fiction - Swung From The Branches (2010) →
Here is a link to the blog of Warren Hildebrand, of Foxes in Fiction, where he’s been generous enough to provide a free download link to their ‘I-can’t-talk-about-this-enough’ album, Swung From the Branches. This guy’s doing so much stuff right now and it’s all amazing. Click the title to go to the Swung From The Branches download section, click here to visit...
VA - Bippp: French Synth Wave 1979-'85 (2008) →
“Early-’80s postpunk begat not only marquee acts like Depeche Mode but a ”cold” wave of bands unknown outside their native France. This compilation, BIPPP: French Synth Wave presents a rare glimpse into a parallel universe that eschews English for français, and guitars for monochrome synth stabs and robotic vocals, offering cool, Kraftwerkian homages to the mechanics of...

Miles Kurosky - The Desert of Shallow Effects... →
“The former Beulah frontman’s solo debut is hardly a one-man show. More than two dozen musicians (including old bandmates) join in, creating an ever-changing backdrop for tales from Kurosky’s family history. Tentative marimba gives way to klezmer clarinets as a lost World War II pilot hides in a sewer. A collage of atonal oboes fills the bridge while a lonely housewife plans her...
Ball of Flame Shoot Fire - Jokeland (2008) →
“Ball of Flame Shoot Fire is Jess, Winston, Peter, Tim, and Pat. They met in high school, just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their first EP, Grumpy Little Bird, was released in the fall of 2007. Their first full-length album, Jokeland, was released in November 2008. This year they launched a blog (ballofflameblog.blogspot.com) on which they released the free EP Danny and Rob...

Thee Oh Sees - Help (2009) →
“… These tracks and other winners such as “Rainbow” and “Soda St. #1” comprise an album that’s virtually mistake-free. It’s hard to pick out a song, or even aspects of a song, that don’t work within the overall context of the record. That’s not to say that everyone will love it. In the end it’s a niche piece, and if you don’t...
The Ruby Suns - Fight Softly (2010) →
The prime mover of The Ruby Suns, Ryan McPhun has literally traveled around the world to arrive at Fight Softly, the band’s 2nd album for Sub Pop, and 3rd overall. McPhun possesses (or is possessed by…) a voracious musical mind and this new album is the kind of head-spinning combination of big-picture vision and sumptuous detail that only comes from an artist with an urgent need to express all the...
