“Glassdrops”, new from German artist Robot Koch, is a pulsing, haunting, beautiful piece of electronic music. “Glassdrops” is the sort of song that grabs you immediately, pulls at you relentlessly, and doesn’t let go long after it’s 3 minute duration. Repeat listening material for sure.

We don’t usually fuck with mashups, etc, etc. But THIS(!) Shaolin Jazz mash of Wu-Tang and the late great Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Bottle”, it’s sound like Ghost, Rae et al were in the studio cutting this shit live with Gil. “The Bottle” has such a great groove to begin with but damn what a nice match. Good on Shaolin Jazz. Get familiar below.

Listen to “You Don’t Know” and try to guess where French Films are from. Manchester? No. London? No. Dublin? Nope. Finland! French Films are Finnish and are really good. “You Don’t Know” is a great (albeit brief, the track clocks in under 2 minutes) slice of hooky modern post punk. Sound good? Give French Films a spin.

Genuflex is the new band of former White Rose Movement frontman Finn Vine. However, Genuflex is not a another go at WRM’s icy post punk sound. “I’ll Wander On” is glacial, wide open, and epic. Epic meaning good, not epic meaning bad. It’s a huge, soulful sound that is definitely something different.

One more thing we have in common with David Dallas. We feel like Oasis everyday of the week. Monday, we feel like we’re the young hungry Definitely Maybe Oasis, the Oasis that will record, scrap and re-record an album three times. By Wednesday we feel like Morning Glory Oasis, we’re still the fucking shit but we’re too drunk/high to care. By Friday, we feel like Be Here Now Oasis, the fact that we’re the fucking shit still can’t be questioned, but now we’re too drunk/high to have any idea what that is, that its actually Friday or that we’re supposed to be “Feeling like Oasis” or anything else really. We pretty much just feel like “Drugs”. And so forth.

“Sea of Knives”, excerpted here from Chicago indie pop artist Brice Woodall’s “Id Escaped” EP, is one gorgeous stop-what-you’re-doing melody after another. Don’t sleep.

The Swedish sisters Soderberg return with “Lion’s Roar”, excerpted here from the duo’s upcoming LP of the same name. FAK’s beautiful “Ghost Town” was one of our favorite tracks of 2010 and “Lion’s Roar” is right there in terms of quality. The tune is folky but also references dusty country western balladry, (Think Townes Van Zandt). The Lion’s Roar is due digitally November 8th.
