night manager//blackout sex

Brooklyn’s Night Manager:  a trifecta of musicians spanning from San Fransisco to Paris purveying lo-fi, buzzsaw’d gems.  Along a similar vein as fellow BK noise-mongers Coasting or Total Slacker, the DIY sound becoming synonymous with the area flows to no end and is perfectly demonstrated in “Blackout Sex”.  Rough and unpolished yet unabashedly honest.

coasting//hots for teacher

I wanted to point out another band we have playing the SXSW celebration, Coasting, a dual-lady band out of the BK had a brand new song on a recent compilation by one of the Sensitive Homeboyz collab partners, Friendship Bracelet. Its significant because to-date Coasting hasnt put out a whole lot of material, so each new song is like a present.

cloud nothings//can’t stay awake

cloud

A couple of weeks ago Cloud Nothings blew me away with “Hey Cool Kid” and sent word that their cassette on Bridgetown Records was not too far in the future.  The day has come, cassette has been released and they have sent over the opening track, “Can’t Stay Awake”.  Looks like they’re already getting HUGE too.  Ha, they’ve already landed a gig at the legendary Shea Stadium with the babes from Coasting (7th inning stretch or National Anthem?).  Yeah, yeah baseball season is out but you can still order Turning On right now.

Our fourth episode will, not only, have some great new tracks up (from Beach House, Brilliant Colors, and Total Slacker) but we are also having a contest.  Just use these easy to follow steps and we will send you a unique cassette tape of today’s show sans commentary, of course.  We are also including a “one-of-a-kind” hand designed sleeve for the cassette.  Cool, right?  Well, whether you think so or not just email us at weeklytapedecktix@gmail.com with the artist name and title of the very last song in our rotation.  First person to do so is the winner!  Honestly, it’s not incredibly hard to name but contests are fun and so are mix-tapes so use yr ears.  Tune in to Indie-Verse, listen, and get a cool cassette.  ALSO!  Don’t forget to catch Neko Case tonight at the Granada Theater. Tracklist after the jump.
