tan dollar//epic mana

cover-2

As the track in mind’s title would suggest, “Epic Mana” is exactly that. Epic.  Chris (of Tan Dollar fame) has just sent over a few tracks this morning right in time for NYE.  Maybe a bold statement, but the way this tune gradually builds to crescendo is a perfect way to cap off the year.  TD’s upcoming release, Your Body as a Temple, is up for digital (Life’s Blood) and analog (Mirror Universe) releases on January 4th.  Plus, the release party for this album is, um, epic.  So, if you’re in Irvine, CA check out this sick lineup featuring the likes of Woodsman, Young Prisms, Pure Ecstasy, Silver Pines, and Dash Jacket (playing at Acrobatics Everywhere).

weekly mixtape//au revoire

weekly-tapemix-3-no-overlay

I’ve been mulling through this idea for the past couple of weeks, and finally decided to yank the plug on the weekly mixtape installment.  Not saying I’m done making mixes all together, but I feel like they should be more of a novel concept.  Maybe something seasonal?  Not sure, don’t really want to obligate myself to anything.  But, when then mixtapes do roll-out  I’ll make sure you guys know about it.

dash jacket

jackettambo

Just getting re-acquainted with myspace a couple of months ago, I completely forgot about the eureka! moments I would get when some random band added me that I actually liked.  Dash Jacket, on the other hand, fit into a category that is to cool to be filed under any (insert random word of surprise and awe here) situation.  West Coast slacker jams that could could accurately be compared Wavves with the exception that their songs don’t include goths or demons.  However, there is something in their two-part harmonies that make these tunes stand out.  If it weren’t a douche move, I’d post up every song they’ve sent because all of them are killer jams.  According to Matthew, there is something in the works with Insound selling their artiste unique CD-Rs so keep checking around or hit the guys up via dashjacket@gmail.

Dash Jacket – Anna Says
Dash Jacket – Coastal Sang
