The Buff Medways - Troubled Mind

I normally don’t do this, but I used this band’s short name for this post. Their full name is Wild Billy Childish & The Friends of the Buff Medway Fanciers Association, which doesn’t quite roll off the tongue so well. This music also doesn’t come in a nice smooth package, it’s far from it actually, and exactly why I like it. It has that old school garage feel, like they just came in town in an old van to play at a dingy bar. Check it out and see what you think.

Toro Y Moi - Never Matter

This is one of my favorite releases of 2013 so far, and it was playing in the coffee shop while I was building a queue. I couldn’t resist playing another track from it. He just release a bunch of shows across the states, so go check him out this summer!

Bonobo ft. Erykah Badu - Heaven For The Sinner

Another track from Bonobo’s latest album, The North Borders, featuring the ever-soulful Erykah Badu. This track is going to take you on a smooth ride with the soft chimes and sort of ambient beat that Bonobo tends to produce. Sometimes it’s hard to grasp how many sounds are coming together to create the full effect, and Badu’s soft voice just blends in with the music excellently. Check out the track and the rest of the album while you’re at it.

Savages - She Will

These British post-punkers have a new album that just released called, Silence Yourself, that I would highly recommend. This is the first single from the album and it’s a great tune!

The Orwells - Mallrats (La La La)

Punk, Indie, Garage, whatever you want to classify it in, these kids can make some jammin’ tunes. The Orwells are really gaining some popularity lately from last year’s release, Remember When, that was dropped in August. Check it out!

How To Dress Well - Ecstasy With JoJo

It’s a few years old but still good, check out this trippy tune with an old MJ sample and a beat to keep you groovin’.

RX Bandits - Pal treaux

We haven’t heard much from this amazing band in a while, their website hasn’t been updated since November 2011! But don’t fret, they just announced a new tour for the 10th anniversary of The Resignation. They’re mostly hitting the West coast, but will show love to Philly and NYC and other northeast places. I’m definitely planning on checking it out, hope you do too!
