Clap! Clap! is an interesting fellow. Hailing from Italy, Crisci knows how to produce electronic music that blends in the element of African tribal music without feeling like a gimmick. Tayi Bebba is a 17 track party that hits low with bass blasts over hollow percussion and crazy rythm leads with a fine collection of native chants and enviromental sampling to keep the tribal theme engaging. Production here is fire, exploring various styles of electronic music from dubstep to bigroom and liquid... whatever, and it all sounds interesting when put under a cultural lens. Just a fun, tasteful electronic album for those who want to try something new.

Genre: Garage Rock
Price: $7.00
For Fans Of: Arctic Monkeys, Modest Mouse, Blur, Surfer Blood, The Districts
Recommended Tracks: Oulala, Cotton Kid, Darla, Bust, Desert Diddy, Smile Boyo
Hard to define garage rock from Massachusetts. It has the hard hitting riffs, but it also has blissful guitar leads and falsetto that contrast that fuzzy, hard hitting riffs perfectly. Crunchy fun with catchy hooks and addictive vocals.
Elohim - Elohim
Release Date: May 20th, 2016
Genre: Pop
Price: $5.00
For Fans Of: Carly Rae Jepsen, Kate Boy, Fuck Buttons
Recommended Tracks: Sensations, She Talks Too Much, Xanax, Pigments, All That Gold
The breakout EP of vocalist, songwriter, and producer Elohim; who happens to share her name with God himself. Her lyrics inspire power through the relatibility of insecurity and anxiety, while each song here are fun (and excellently produced) pop shells, they go beyond that, each song is a delicate coping passage that keeps things real with their human elements of insecurity becoming overwhelming. Top that with wonky, fun production and cutesy vocals, and you get an excellent EP from an artist who deserves to remain on your radar.
◯ - Black Sea Of Trees
Release Date: September 11th, 2012
Genre: Ambient/Post Rock/Sludge
Price: Free
For Fans Of:
Recommended Tracks: Jesus Belongs to Ghost, Sea of Trees, First Monologue, Waiting for the Sun
"The most hardcore ambient album", as a random fellow on the internet describes it. Black Sea of Trees is an ambient, post-rock record with slight elements of sludge metal sprinkled inbetween its crescendos. The sound of the record is very attuned with nature, as many of the tracks borrow noise from nature or from objects such as birds and windchimes to build a peacful atmosphere before colliding with heavy, fuzzy noise walls and peaceful post rock outros that vaguely have just enough depressive chords to sound disturbed. Quite a beautiful, chaotic record.

Release Date: February 5th, 2015
Genre: Electro/Chiptune
Price: Free
For Fans Of: Chipzel, Sabrepulse, Kevin Vilecco, Nitro Fun
Recommended Tracks: Ember, Cascade, Overworld, Restoration Formed by Glaciers
Do you like the bleep boop chiptune? Do you like them heavy electro riffs? Do you like guitar riffs, vocals, and peaceful progressive tracks? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Ember is for you. Fun chiptune passages that blend with electro elements for a fun, funky record.
Seriously sweet picks this week dude. Loving the Vundabar album - the riff switchups in some of the songs are like nothing I've ever heard. I could see why you had trouble defining them too! Really original stuff
ReplyDeleteYeah, its a very unique playing style, makes it really fun to listen to. Glad you enjoyed!
