[track premiere] flight//turns to blood

Its rare these days that an artist creates unique sound that is immediately recognizable when you hear it, FLIGHT has done this with their spectral moans and phantasmal guitar licks. Hailing from the Southern depths of Oxford, MS this band is channeling much more than just Ghosts Of Mississippi, and in a continuation of their sound they are set to release a new 6-song EP titled The Lead Riders through the always solid Zoo Music. The sludgy opener to the record “Turns To Blood” is a an amassed, dusky piece where vocal harmonies and drilling synth and guitar are amalgamated and yet something so crowded never sounded so sweet.

wtd presents: mind spiders//sunnybrook// melting season//land mammals

We were asked to participate in Rubber Gloves’ FREE WEEK right as everyone gets back in the school vibe and to handpick a few bands to showcase at our show September 4th. Mind Spiders are an obvious one–side project of one of local punk legends Marked Men, we’ve already been shoving in your face for awhile now. Sunnybrook and Melting Season are both associates of Denton musical ensemble Sleep Whale–both bands run the gamit of soundscapes, with Sunnybrook’s songs being much more blown-out with thick-set contruction and foggy electronic samples while Melting Season is more instrumental with story-bookish and immersive murals accompanied by jolting soundbytes. Lastly but not least we’ve incorporated the psychedelic-seizing pop of Land Mammals, a band new to my ears whom I caught wind of through their hallucinogenic-house show performances that are seemingly constant in Denton these days. That is what we’re bringing on our side, now I expect all of you reading this to show up and have fun, because after all its FREE. Here is the fbook event page.

Mind Spiders – Dirty Secrets
Sunnybrook – Lobby
Melting Season – The Cliffs
Land Mammals – Poprocks

unouomedude//buildings

Unouomedude (you-know-you-owe-me-dude) draws more than a few similarities to Toro Y Moi, both using their musicianship to create melodic looping-pop-rubies, though with Unouomedude there is less glitching and more pitching harmonies. Currently you can download his newest collection of songs titled Marsh via bandcamp and as always you can test the waters below with his infinitely-catchy gleeful-jam “Buildings”.

craft spells & emily reo//love well spent

Our Rhode Island blog-brother Salad Fork has put together a good-natured Compilation for World Hunger which includes an abundance of of emerging artists. Seeing as we’ve given a whole-buncha-lovin to Craft Spells in the past and Emily Reo has sprung up recently as well, we thought we’d re-feature their track on the comp. The song is a call-and-return 80s fog-machine ballad in which you can practically flesh out in your mind a garishly overdone video accompaniment–carnal street corner stares, neon signs and the whole kit and caboodle. You can download the entire Salad Fork Compilation here. Check out the Craft Spells/Emily Reo instant-repeater below.

ice cream shout//tattooed ears

Been hearing a bit about this band lately and finally had a chance to listen to them, they hail from the essentially untapped musical market of Japan that either strikes gold or not, Ice Cream Shout seems to be the former. They bring back that sense of the late 80s–early 90s where artistic music was figuring out what to do with itself post-new-wave and before the shoegaze gates busted open, bands like Yo La Tengo or Sonic Youth come to mind.

cloud nothings//leave you forever

And here is the new Cloud Nothings, out on the same date, same label,  though its a four song 7″ (love those) and will apparently never be repressed, also these songs are exclusive to True Panther and not on the collection being released by Car Park later this year. This song is a natural jolter for all those dispirited by the breezy Real Estate track.

real estate//out of tune

This new Real Estate song takes their music to a different place–as complacent and calm as their past work but much more mature and high-fidelity. This will be out as a 7-inch on True Panther Sounds on 10/12.
