A Place To Bury Strangers - In Your Heart and Close Lobsters - Nature Thing

Monday, October 26th, 2009

A Place To Bury Strangers’ new LP Exploding Head is shaping up to be one of our fav releases of the year.. and not just because of the name. “In Your Heart” has rightfully gotten hold of our attention for its pop sensibility yet powerfully cold composition. And in the spirit of “In Your Heart”, dig on this classic from Close Lobsters. These cats, who even opened for The Jesus and Mary chain back in 1986, rule! “Nature Thing” was recently re-released this month on a new singles collection titled Forever Until Victory and has found its way into our heavy rotation.

IN THE MIX: A Place to Bury Strangers! Rappers! Mayer Hawthorne!

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

what up, world? it’s new music tuesday! pass the pizza! “deadbeat” is new from ny guitar combo a place to bury strangers. the song RIPS and is our favorite from the just released “exploding head” LP. the title of “the best”, a new collaboration between lil’ wayne, kanye west, t.i. and jhey-z, is likely a bit of an overstatement; as we’re sort of “lukewarm” about the song. and despite his verse being what 6 bars?, tip (and it ain’t even close) is still on top form and again EASILY wins this collab. our man in the d, mayer hawthorne, released his debut LP “a strange arrangement” last month. the silky smooth “shiny and new” shines as one of many highlights on the record.
