Wavepool Abortion – Buried Alive

wavepool

Wavepool Abortion had us at their band name. (Seriously, how awesome?) Well, at least they had our attention. It was a nice surprise that in addition to maybe one of the greatest band names of all time, their music was actually good. The weirdos that make up Wavepool Abortion are a couple of teens from Moscow, Russia that judging from the sounds of it love themselves a little American lo-fi-wave. Most of that music is boring but there’s something about how these creepers have cooked down that sound that manages to not only hold your attention but keep you interested track by track.

Clock Opera – Lesson No. 7

Clock Opera

“Lesson No. 7” is new from one of our favorite newer bands Clock Opera. The track will be included in an upcoming EP release to October 3. If you’re into Clock Opera’s remix work or good electronic informed rock and roll “Lesson No. 7” should do you quite nicely.

The Duke Spirit – Surrender

dukespirit

“Surrender” is the first listen from Duke Spirit’s upcoming Bruiser LP. “Surrender” finds the Spirit team on a bit heavier sound (at least for singles) than the previous material. Duke Spirit are one of our favorite bands and “Surrender” is definitely worthy addition to the band’s canon.

Tayyib Ali – Live On the Road (Feat. Dave Patten)

tayyibali

Tayyib’s flow is sick. The young Philly MC links up here w singer Dave Patten for a sharp little track. I think Tayyib Ali is a name we will be hearing a lot of in the coming months. Tracks like “Live On the Road” demand a wider audience.

Kids These Days – Clear Eyes (Prod. Blended Babies)

kids-these-days1

Fresh off their much talked about hometown set at Lollapalooza, the Kids These Days crew drops a brand new track. “Clear Eyes” produced by Blended Babies finds the Chi 8-piece on a mellower more jazz-inflected tip. We love it.

No Ceremony – Hurt Love

noceremony

For every one submission we get, we probably get at least a hundred clunkers. We get a fair number of “pretty good” tracks. “Hurt Love” by No Ceremony (absolutely no clue about who these guys are, where they’re from, if they have any shows upcoming, label, hair color, favorite food, etc. nothing) is a GREAT track. Those epic on-the-one piano chords, the sync’d up melodies, it has all those characteristics of what a big track should sound like or has sounded like but it sounds like something new, something totally fresh. Couldn’t be more into it.

Pavel Dovgal – Kiss Purple

pavel1

Yes please. “Kiss Purple” from Russian producer Pavel Dovgal will be included on German label Project Mooncircle’s upcoming Finest Ego, Vol. 1 12 inch series. You’ve heard this sound before, the track sounds of future garage hitmakers like James Blake, Jamie XX, FaltyDL, etc. That sound though has never been flipped melodically quite how it is on “Kiss Purple”. “Purple” is a definite facemelter in its own right and is in heavy rotation at b3sci HQ. Spin it.
