Memoryhouse // These Days (Nico Cover)












This little gem popped up on Memoryhouse's blog, and I had to snatch it up. It's freaking amazing. I ripped and uploaded it a couple days ago and just haven't gotten around to posting it up here 'till now - as I've been too busy listening to it on repeat.

"This was the first song Denise and I ever recorded together, about three or four months before memoryhouse became a dedicated project. It was a spontaneous recording done really late at night, but it had this indelible nervous energy that gave Denise’s voice that extra hint of vulnerability that underpins Browne’s yearning, despondent lyrics so well. These Days ended up being a thesis of sorts for us, whose lyrical themes would go on to figure heavily in our first song, Lately." - Memoryhouse blog

Active Child // She Was a Vision




















Figured I'd post more to make up for my short hiatus. Just two tracks on this puppy, but DAMN are they good. They're coming out with a full length in June, and I for one cannot wait. This is some truly atmospheric chillwave/dream pop/ whateverthefuckyouwannacallit.


Standout Tracks:
// She Was a Vision
// Voice of an Old Friend
(aka all of them)

Hypermagic // Collected Recordings














Extremely chill ambient tunes. No real record out to speak of yet, but all the tracks I've compiled here are up for download on their last.fm. It's some magical damn music, and i'm digging it hard. Enjoy dis shiit.


Standout Tracks:
// Pico Blisco
// Death Box Teapot
// A Million See

Letting Up Despite Great Faults // Self-Titled




















Soft and beautiful synth fueled shoegaze. They create a sort of uplifting yet melancholy mood that absolutely confounds me, yet tickles me with joy.


Standout Tracks:
// Photograph Shakes
// In Steps
// So Fast: You
// Release

Candy Claws // In The Dream Of The Sea Life




















Some absolutely beautiful music! I use the word "dreamy" far too often as i'm too lazy to expand upon what i'm talking about. But goddamnit, it fits motherfucker. This is some dreamy electronic shoegaze, and it's been blowing my mind.


Standout Tracks:
// The Sun Is My Girl
// Not Strange Winged Snail
// Snowy Shores
// Starry Fighter Kite

Small Black // Self Titled




















More dreamy electronic pop. Once again I find myself addicted. I've just been in the mood for this kind of shit lately. This band has received more plays than the other stuff i've posted recently, so I suppose that's an indicator of it's quality- if you happen to value my taste. I'd say if you download one thing from this blawg, let it be this album.


Standout Tracks:
// Midnight's House
// Kings of Animals
// Lady in the Wires
// Bad Lover
// Despicable Dogs

Millionyoung // Be So True EP




















Here is the other Millionyoung EP I promised. It's just as addicting and dreamy. If you're anything like me you won't be able to stop listening to this shit. Enjoy:


Standout Tracks:
// Cynthia
// Day We Met
// Soft Denial

Millionyoung // Sunndreamm EP




















Electronic chillwave goodness (once again) for you today, I just can't get enough of this shit. I'll probably get around to uploading this dudes other EP today or tomorrow, as it happens to be just as amazing.


Standout Tracks:
// Weak Ends
// Youthless
// Sunndreamm

M. Pyres // Consider Me, Ghost




















Some extremely chill lo-fi post-folk music for ya this post. I meant to put this up ages ago, but never really got around to it. My posting has become real erratic, and it'll likely continue to be this way; don't make the mistake of thinking i'm done with this shit though. As long as I keep seeing downloads on the things I upload, i'll continue.


Standout Tracks:
// Title Track
// Loud Lights
// Imagists Complex
// A. Ocean_MJA
