crows

One of our absolute favorites from last year, A Grave With No Name has been somewhat quiet since the outstanding Debris Mountain. A couple of new tracks up on their myspace and it looks like they’re back in business. Earlier this morning, they actually shared a download of one of these tunes, “Crows”. A serene, pensive piece that goes straight for your heartstrings. Stay tuned for more details, could be a new release is in the making.

After all of those lonely solo shows, the great Ryan (and his silky baritone voice) is finally back in action. This weeks playlist was pruned and handpicked by the man himself, so you know it’s good. Don’t forget to come out to the Granada Theater on the 10th for Jay Reatard, Fergus & Geronimo, and Surfer Blood.

a grave with no name//virtual 7″

7inchcover

From their Meal Deal Records blog, Alex of A Grave With No Name has just given word of their digital EP, Saskia/You’re Gone. There are shades of their more ambient/atmospheric sides on their upcoming LP with Lefse but there are some ‘heavier’ aspects peppered in as well. This 7″ is totally in the sky and available for a free download.

a grave with no name//mountain debris

mountaindebris

I really hate recycling the “distant yet familiar” oxymoron descriptor. Not that I’ve never used it before, but I think I’ve finally found the perfect application for the term. As the name implies, you can rest assured that A Grave With No Name spares no mysteries. Almost every track on Mountain Debris appears to swim underwater and isn’t concerned with peaking for a breath. We’ve mentioned these dudes a while back and now that Alex has sent us the entire LP, we’ve gotten to spend some time with the full tracklisting. Seriously one of the best albums I’ve listened to this year. Their amazing debut is set to release mid-November via two of our favs, Lefse (US)/No Pain In Pop (UK). “Open Water” and “Sofia” have already been making their way around the blogs, but here’s a new one they’ve let us put up: “Silver”.

weekly mixtape

weekly-tapemix-3-no-overlay

Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn’t but there was no mixtape last week. Can’t exactly tell you why, but all you need to know is that this week is completely different than last. Guess it’s a good thing that this particular wrap up will include tracks from more than one week, right? Starts off fast and hard like punch in the face and ends up soft and smooth while the swelling subsides.

Birthday Suits – It’s About Time
Lovvers- Ocd Go Go Girls
Black Math – Part of Me
The Big Pink – Velvet
The Shivers – Just Didn’t Need To Know
The xx – Basic Space
Pill Wonder – What We Know
Happy Family – Cups
Real Estate – Beach Comber
A Sunny Day in Glasgow – Ashes Grammar/Ashes Maths
Universal Studios Florida – Frozen Bayou (feat. Alaska)
Dirty Beach – Low Rider

a grave with no name//open waters

agwnn

Earlier this year UK label No Pain In Pop released a solid v/a mix comprised of many like minded artists as well as some that I have discussed in times past (i.e. Telepathe, Night Jewel, HEALTH). Totally oblivious to A Grave With No Name beforehand, their track featured on this comp, “And We Parted Ways at Mount Jade”, stood head and shoulders above the rest. Going forward in my search for anything AGWNN my liking was only affirmed in finding a stellar split with Indiana youngster Natural Numbers (who, also, happens to have a recently dropped LP on Neon Aztec). A recent addition to their myspace playlist, “Open Waters”, is set to be on the track listing for their forthcoming long player on Lefse and the guys at AGWNN have been cool enough to send the tune in my direction (actually, this is said to be a different mix than offered elsewhere). Breezy and as carefree as the people splashing in the samples, “Open Waters” is another warm addition to any eclectic Summer playlist.
