Video: Unknown Mortal Orchestra – “Nerve Damage”

Unknown Mortal Orchestra released a video to complement the punchy, lo-fi art-rock of “Nerve Damage”. The track is a two-minute burst of energy, so you can expect the video to get straight to the point; the queasy, ...

The Stepkids

The Stepkids’ “Shadows on Behalf” sounds like it could have been recorded at several points throughout history — at a ’60s soul festival, on the set of a ’70s porno, or during a pioneering hip-hop sample demonstration from the ...

Obscure Sound: Best of February 2011

This is a wonderful day. February is no more, and finally we can bid farewell to the dullness and bitter cold of the month. Suitably enough, I was sick for the majority of it. Now that March is here, it is hardly surprising tha...

  • “The Work” begins with murky engrossment, as lingering strings permeate alongside minimalist percussion and sporadic vocals. Exuberant brass emerges from the darkness, for just a moment, shortly after the one-minute mark. By now, the atmospheric prowess of this duo — comprised of Jon Weston and Anton Patzner — clearly shows. They form the project @fevrmoon, and “The Work” is their engaging new single. As the two-minute mark approaches, and the brass assumes a more frequently comfortable position in the arsenal, the act’s ability to infuse infectious melodies with creative, avant-garde soundscapes is also fully evident. We’re definitely looking to hearing more from Fevrmoon. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Described as a track that’s “about the moments you miss when you aren’t present in the moments you’re in,” “Aubrey Plaza” is a consuming new track from Providence-based lo-fi rock act Ugly Ghost, the project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Jake Perreault. He previously impressed with the very catchy track “Text Me Back” last year. “Aubrey Plaza” comes via the project’s second LP, out later this year. Perreault again shows a knack for soaring guitar lines, which exude a fun, melodic, and anthemic tone amidst the contagious vocal melodies and precise uses of synth. The “And though time has passed, I’m still there,” chorus reminds me fondly of Ozma’s synth-laden power-pop aesthetic. Ugly Ghost is a project that continues to impress. {Link to listen in bio}
  • “Dulcinea” is a lush, melodic gem with jangly guitars and soft synths accompanying the lush vocals of musician, producer, and composer Nick Aponte, behind the project Bed Scene. The release is the title track from Bed Scene’s follow-up EP, releasing on May 30th. The first EP dropped last year and can be heard here. The project takes inspiration from “the sounds of early’ 80s Spanish ballads and lo-fi pop,” with the track serving as “an interpretation of Bed Scene’s influences and an ode to his Hispanic roots.” The track’s slowed-down touch of psychedelia in the closing seconds is another notable success, capping off a melodic and well-produced effort from Bed Scene. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Showing the artist’s melodic dream-pop, folk, and psych leanings, “A Loaded Mind” is a single off Mikhail Galkin’s upcoming Fanta EP. The artist, who previously impressed with tracks like “Waiting in the Wings,” succeeds with hypnotic, exotic allure here. Quaint mellow key-driven contemplation evolves steadily into an infectious groove with calming psych-pop appeal. The song is about the gentrification of many neighborhoods around Toronto, and is musically influenced by Galkin’s recent trip to Turkey and much of the psychedelic music that came out of there during the early ’70s (Baris Manco, Mogollar, Selda Bagcan, etc). Galkin’s reflections on changing neighborhoods are complemented by exotic melodic mystique and always-interesting production. {Link to listen in bio}
