New single from Washed Out is a swimmy slo-mo-underwater-pool-scene in an 80s movie montage.

Tons been going on the past few weeks, some reissues from Black Tambourine and The Magnetic Fields in the making, our friends finishing their EP, and some cool devs in SXSW type stuff (stay tuned). Stop by our friends at Indie-Verse (4 PM CST) and click the link to listen. Check the playlist and cop some mp3s after the jump.

beach house//teen dream + contest

beach-house-teen-dream

There are plenty of good/great albums that are released within a year’s time, but it is a rare moment when a prefect album is created. Today is the official release date for Beach House’s gorgeous Teen Dream, their first album on Sub Pop, and it is just that. Perfect. Already (and predictably) earning Pitchfork’s nod of BNM, as well as millions of blogger swoons world wide, this piece of magic can now be owned in a unique “collectors edition” type package and all without spending $50+. Teen Dream comes beautifully jacketed as a 2xLP with lyrics/artwork and a DVD containing videos for each track on the album, “Silver Soul” being directed by Legrande herself. Order Here.

And now for the contest:

BHgranada

The 21st of April at the fine Granada Theater in Dallas, our friends at Gorilla vs Bear are presenting Beach House along with Washed Out. I’ve been eagerly waiting to see both and here they are at the same place at the same time. Amazing job on the flyer too, I might add. The awesome dudes at the Granada have given us TWO PAIRS of tickets to hand out for this show. Email us at weeklytapedecktix@gmail.com, leave a comment or any leave indication that you’d like to go and we’ll pick a winner at the end of the week. Tickets can be purchased HERE.

Smoothly skating into our 5th episode of WTD radio (courtesy of the rad fellows at Indie-Verse) I put together a quick list of everything that I’ve been listening to for the past week. New tracks from Wild Harem and Harlem (both out of Austin, I might add), Wetdog, and Americans in France. For good measure I’ve peppered in some classic favorites of mine. I know you’re probably missing the silky smooth linguistics of Ryan, but he will be back next week. I promise. To get thrown into our regular rotation send all tracks to weeklytapedeck@gmail.com and we’ll give it a listen. Click HERE to listen. Hit the jump for mp3s and tracklist.

washed out//high times

washedout

The guys at Mirror Universe Tapes just sent over two brand new tracks from the ‘multi-genred’ Washed Out. Already hot off the release of a fantastic six track 12″ ep (which sold out with a quickness) on Mexican Summer, both “Luck” and “Belong” are on the listing for his High Times cassette which is available for pre-order. No numbers given, but given the usual limited release nature of cassettes, this should sell out quick. As for the 12″, looks like you’ll have to catch it in stores or settle for the digital purchase.

mathemagic//always will be

beach

Music for your lounge chair w/ ice cold tropical beverage in hand. Getting up anytime soon? Nah, think I’m going to lay around and zone out for a while. Evan Eutiener plus his Macbook Pro equals Mathemagic. Seems like the (whatever)-fi tunes of Washed Out, Memory Cassette, etc. are already beginning to take strong influence. I caught wind of this tune from the oh-so-well versed guys at Transparent and will be keeping a close eye out to see what else is coming in the future.
