Just a self-released CD and a limited cassette (via Mirror Universe) into the game, Dead Gaze’s debut piece of wax is on the books for a Group Tightener release in 10″ of glory. “We Belong To You” follows the same formula that’s turned us on to DG in the first place: dreamy synth-work with a vocal delivery that’s drowning in a sea of reverb and effects. Whether you caught him at our SXSW blow-out or, more recently, destroying the Group Tightener showcase, it’s good to see one of our friends finally getting some much deserved attention.

There has to be something in the water in Mississippi. I’ve mentioned on countless occasions that the stewing scene there is set to be noticed on a more national scale and, for the most part, it has been. John Barret’s Bass Drum of Death is one of the key components for the state’s recent found success and with his latest offering he proves to keep it that way. It takes some serious balls for a dude to cover a Chiffons’ track but it takes even more when you hear that it’s “He’s So Fine”. Not only does Barrett pull it off, he does so with dart throwing accuracy. From the harmonious tracking (all of which are by Barrett himself) to the slice of Southern garage kick that’s added, this is one of the more perfectly executed covers that I’ve heard in a while. On the books for a July release via Brooklyn’s Daed Pizza as a 7″ single (keep an eye on their shop for a pre-order). Also, catch him on a half month tour through the Midwest on East Coast, all listed here.

If Weekly Tape Deck had a Best New Music this Dead Gaze track would hit a homerun…or something like that. We’ve been loving on this man’s music since he blinded us last year, and surely you can see that his talents have marinated and expanded. This song a bit less harsh sounding than the early and tenderly mixed to accentuate what Dead Gaze does best: honest, loud and beautiful melodies. This song is destined to be on a split with Gray Things through Clan Destine. Enjoy it compressed and clipping now. (P.S. Ive said it enough already but Dead Gaze is another band playing our SXSW musical orgy)

Still going strong two weeks into our programming on, the great, Indie-Verse radio and we’ve got another nice lineup of tunes. We’ve got the local scene covered with some tracks from Fergus & Geronimo and The Uptown Bums. Also, my new collective friends from Oxford, MS, Cats Purring, have their fair share of play time. Listen to the show today at 1 PM CST and again on Saturday at the same time. We’ll be in Denton (at Rubber Gloves) tonight for our show with Crystal Antlers, Video and Uptown Bums. Come say hi. Head here for the link to stream. Hit the jump for the tracklisting.

An addition to the chill track I mentioned last week, Mississippi psych-gazer Dead Gaze has just sent over his latest video for “Back and Forth”. Getting their latest LP, End of Days, Why Not You?, is an easy three step process. 1) Send an email to rcfurlow@gmail.com, 2) Wait for him to send the tunes yr way and 3) Enjoy!

Just got the latest track from Dead Gaze’s upcoming End of Days, Why Not You?. I’ve been checking out his other releases, which are available here for free download, and this is easily one of his most chill recordings. Despite the hazy production effects the delivery is as lucid and clear as a blue sky. Don’t think I would be too out of line to draw parallels with Broken Social Scene circa You Forgot it in People.
