[QUICKIE] The Maccabees – GIVEN TO THE WILD (w/ “Pelican”)

to have it all and still want more, one things for sure we’re all getting older

Wall Of Arms was best of 2009 but multiple spins of this leave me flat. ”Pelican” is OK. “Unknown” & “Grew Up at Midnight” are semi-jams.

[Quickies are mini-reviews that can fit into a 140 character tweet. They are of albums that people already know of but perhaps are curious about our take on it. What did you think of the disc?]

[QUICKIE] Miike Snow – HAPPY TO YOU (w/ “The Wave”)

you can hear them banging on the tin but my love wont be sane

Ya’ll know I LOVE Miike Snow. The Wave is Gold. Paddling Out too. But rest of album I have to agree more with AV Club & Pitchfork. Lacking.

[EP] Bastille – OTHER PEOPLE’S HEARTACHE (w/ “What Would You Do?” & “Of The Night”)

get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses

♫ Bastille – What Would You Do? (City High cover)

If you only know UK’s Bastille from last year’s stellar jam “Flaws” then the emotional weight of his new mixtape may be a bit jarring. The thing is, what makes this guy so interesting is his ability to balance fun dance grooves with samples from Requiem For A Dream and lyrics about abused children (cover of City High’s “What Would You Do?” above). It’s more real … continue reading

[QUICKIE] The 2 Bears – BE STRONG (w/ album stream)

come on party with the bears tonight, we’ve got the funk of 40 thousand years for your delight

It’s no Hot Chip goofball party vibes or solo Goddard deep grooves but this sideX2 project is bouncy house fun. Im loving “Ghosts & Zombies”

[EP] Entrepreneurs – THE FLORIDA ROOT CANAL (w/ “I Am 3!”)

♫ Entrepreneurs – I Am 3!

Entrepreneurs have always made weird music but somehow I just vibe with it. New EP The Florida Root Canal is perhaps the weirdest yet but I keep coming back to it. Songs are mostly under 2 minutes and oddball interstitial moments buffer most tracks but somehow the whole things bobs, flops and twists its way through my brain and leaves me smiling. “I Am 3!” is a perfect example of the kind of dirty fun … continue reading
