The Twilight Sad are back! “the Wrong Car” is the lead and title track previewed from their new EP, expected September 27 via Fat Cat Records. their sound? we would describe as the feel/dynamic of expansion/unfurling vs. collapse/narrowing/dwindling. we absolutely love it.

“Facelove” the once B-side to last year’s single “Diamond Rings” will also find itself on the group’s debut full-length, Meet Me at the Muster Station, due October 5 from Paper Bag Records. this track is guitar crazy done right, like almost everything ever glorious about alt-rock tones all in one take. it’s a big claim… but it is a pretty big song.

we’ve said it once and we’ll say it again… Jose James‘ Blackmagic LP is KILLER! dude blends soul, hip-hop and jazz ALL proper. having worked with Gilles Peterson, Bassment Jaxx, and Flying Lotus to name a few, he’s definitely flying high on the b3sci radar..

if you’re around, Jose performs tonight at Zanzibar in Santa Monica, with bonus dj sets from Quadron (with live vocals), and KCRW’s Anthony Valdez. so to make it official, the b3sci ‘fuck yeah’ meter has reached sensory overload!!
