Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Song: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - American Dream Part II [download here ] What's so good? UK-based Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has perhaps one of the coolest names for an act on the market. And to boot, the music is great! His newest song “American Dream Part II” starts off a bit like Boards of Canada, but quickly transitions into an electronic landscape that hints at UK-garage (those keen to compare might hear SBTRKT jump to mind). While this may be a bit strongly on the electronic side for most of our listeners, I have little ...

I was real surprised to find out that Airliner was another pseudonym for Com Truise, whose None LP focuses more on lush funk samples, downtempo hip hop beats, and crushing, high-end synth melodies that evoke the earlier works of Lone, Boards of Canada, and Stephen Farris. Grab the LP on his bandcamp and it will be well worth your dollars.

Fresh off his cease and desist from Swedish House Mafia, Bird Peterson is back with another Drankenstein boot.

"I wanted everything to be as colourful as possible," said Lone (a.k.a. Matt Cutler) in a recent interview with XLR8R regarding Galaxy Garden , his latest full-length. That kind of statement seems a bit redundant coming from Cutler, as the Emerald Fantasy Tracks producer has already made a name for himself by marrying the best of early-'90s strobelight-rave tropes with the synesthesia-inducing textures of Boards of Canada. On top of that, "Crystal Caverns 1991," the lead single off Galaxy Garden that dropped a few months back, appeared to be right in line with Lone’s recent work. This ...

Festival season is now so close you can nearly touch it, and The Great Escape is not only one of the first, but is also guaranteed to be one of the best. This year's event is taking place from Thursday 10th May and culminates on the Saturday 12th of May. Across the three days three hundred plus bands will be providing Brighton rock, indie, electronica and more in 30 venues on the south coast. Listing all the great acts playing may break the internet but some names we’re excited about include: Perfume Genius, Niki & The Dove, Alt-J, Shabazz Palaces, Grimes, Friends, Zulu Winter and Django Django. There will be shows in the Brighton Dome, in churches and pubs around the city. Add to that an array of fringe events, club nights and a daytime conference - plus a bar on the famous Brighton pier - and you have all the ingredients for a very special time indeed. Amazingly tickets are still available and you can get them here . For a full of who’s playing and for more info visit escapegreat.com . See you there, yeah? Listen to our Great Escape playlist by clicking here . ***** Editors Picks: James Canham (Live Editor): Retro Stefson Possibly the most interesting and entertaining live act I've ever personally witnessed, Retro Stefson would need no introduction in their homeland of Iceland. Renowned on the Reykjavík circuit for their unique mix of pop ethics and peculiar, yet stunning, execution they're definitely one to catch. [ Listen ] Performances: 10th May - Latest Music Bar - 23:15 11th May - Above Audio - 14:30 11th May - Green Door Store - 19:30 Fever Fever Art punk isn't dead, and with bands like Fever Fever it never will die. On top of their fantastically literate lyrics their layers of dissonant yet raw guitar and pounding drums give the festival one of the best and most interesting performances. [ Listen ] Performance: 10th May - The Hope - 20:30 AlunaGeorge With an EP coming soon on the illustrious Tri-Angle records, and with an arsenal of future pop hits to hand, now is the time to see AlunaGeorge before they make it huge. Every song they've released so far is dredged in a fantastic drape of smooth and sexy vocals with rich synthy backing, and their near-midnight show at Coalition on the Friday is shaping up to be one of the best of the festival. [ Listen ] Performance: 11th May - Coalition - 23:30 Seams While Seams will be playing the sounds at his Corn exchange, the real reason anyone will be going is to see his fringe jumping excitedly on stage. We've loved him from the word go (especially his remarkable Tourist EP, a piece of work focused and composed from sounds heard in Berlin, the city he's now based in) and by all reports his live show is just as great as his recordings (mainly because of his fringe...). [ Listen ] Performance: 12th May - Corn Exchange - 21:30 Micachu & The Shapes Along with many others we've eagerly awaited the next move from Micachu and The Shapes . After a few interesting diversions (most notably their chopped and screwed mixtape performance piece with the London Sinfonietta Orchestra) they've finally got a sequel to 2009's Jewellery in the pipeline and, with any luck, we'll hear something new from the makers of one of the last decade's most fascinating albums. [ Listen ] Performance: 12th May - The Haunt - 21:45 ***** Alt-J Editors Picks: Wil Cook (Music Editor): As they prepare to drop one of the albums of the year, Alt-J are the band to be excited about. Engaging, melodic songs full of depth, songs that linger on longer than you expect. Remnants appear in your head for days after and they are welcome. I cannot wait to see this band play live. [ Listen ] Blind Tiger Friday 21:15 Jonquil I have been screaming from the rooftops about Jonquil since 2006 when I caught them playing in a horrible little bar in Ipswich. It's been fascinating to watch them evolve from a folk band who evidently had a bit of a crush on Boards of Canada into this massive summery behemoth of a band. I love this band more than I could ever put into words for you, which says a lot, because I love to talk. [ Listen ] Prince Albert Thursday 22:15 Green Door Store Friday 14:00 Cloud Nothings Since releasing the wonderfully nihilistic Attack on Memory earlier in the year Cloud Nothings have been on my "must see" list. It's a crunching punk rock pop fix that simultaneously restores my faith in my ability to feel alive and reverts me back to a mindset where I wanted to die. Basically, they are the hipster Nirvana. I just hope they are as ramshackle and urgent in the flesh as they are on this record. [ Listen ] Above Audio Thursday 21:45 Perfume Genius I'm not who St. Mary is, but she doesn't half know how to book a gig, last year she hosted Dustin O Halloran and Richter">Max Richter for one of the shows of the festival. This year it's the turn of Perfume Genius who plays after Loney, Dear making one of the sexiest double bills of the three days. The chance to see songs like Hood and Dirge performed in the beautifully intimate surroundings of the church is not something that you should pass up. [ Listen ] St. Mary's Church 21:15 Tall Ships One of my favourite memories from last year was the mass sing-along during Vessels, mid afternoon in the Pav Tav, it placed in my mind an idea that has been reaffirmed several times since, Tall Ships have it. They have whatever it is that every band is trying to achieve when they write songs, that feeling. Y'know that feeling when your hairs prickle up with your skin bumps as you realise that you are lucky to be alive and in a world full of potential. Yes, that is quite a bold statement, but have you seen Tall Ships play? If you haven't, then you really need to catch them soon, this years Great escape is the place. [ Listen ] Pav Tav Friday 1am The Hope Saturday 22:15 ***** Editors Picks: Tim Boddy (Photography Editor): Gang Colours The 405 have been following Will Ozanne's Gang Colours closely since the release of the violently monikered EP, In Your Gut Like A Knife , last summer. Recently the chap from Southampton released full-length debut album The Keychain Collection on Brownswood Recordings, to positive appraise. It's the kind of album that rewards enormously on repeated listens, the reflective soundscapes burying deep into the skin, and cut-up homages to garage swirl smoothy through the bloodstream. The result is rather Beautiful stuff, like if Mount Kimbie went into ballad territory - but with a very definite Gang Colours personal grace to proceedings. [ Listen ] Swords">Forest Swords Oh Swords">Forest Swords , where have you been? The solo project from Liverpool-based Matthew Barnes has been quiet of recent, following the release of 2010's gorgeous and beguiling LP Dagger Paths . Beguiling in that a myriad of differing styles are sewn into each other; Barnes' passion and knowledge ...

Cupp Cave's second proper album, after a string of EPs, is a hazed and skittery affair that plays on themes of degradation amongst a sea of jump cut beats. Bringing to mind a few of our new favorites in this realm, like Andy Stott, T+++ or a whole host of Brainfeeder alums; the album is a masterwork of obscured rhythms and softly lapping static. It’s an analog playground that feels like it owes a debt to Boards of Canada in its worn copy aesthetic. Retina Waves sees the Belgian beatmaker drop into the RAMP stable alongside some celebrated ...

Der in Bristol lebende Multiinstrumentalist Nick Talbot – den meisten eher als Gravenhurst bekannt – präsentiert sein neues Video zu "The Prize". Das Lied ist eines von zehn neuen Stücken des Anfang Mai erscheinenden, vierten Langspielers "The Ghost In Daylight". Um das Ein-Mann-Projekt war es die letzten fünf Jahr eher still geworden, zuletzt veröffentlichte der Musiker das Album "The Western Lands" im Jahr 2007. In seinen Kompositionen kombiniert er vornehmlich Elemente aus Rock, Elektro sowie Folk – deshalb erinnern die Songs gleichermaßen an Simon & Garfunkel und  My Bloody Valentine . Mit einem Klick auf das folgende Video könnt ihr mit seinen sanft-melancholischen Klängen in ...

Der britische Dub-Souler Kwes zeigt sich in seinem ersten Video zum Stück "Bashful", welches am morgigen Tag auf der EP "Meantime" erscheint. Bereits vor einem Jahr veröffentlichte der 24-Jährige im Netz seinen ersten Song "Get Up", den ihr euch  »hier  herunter laden könnt. Das Debüt des Londoners wird aus vier Tracks bestehen und auf dem Label Warp Records erscheinen, das auch Künstler wie Gravenhurst und Boards Of Canada vertritt. Erst zu Beginn des Monats präsentierte Kwes den Titel "Igoyh" im Internet ( motor.de berichtete ). "Bashful" erinnert mit seinen Dub-Bässen und der soulig-weichen Stimme von Kwes ein wenig an SBTRKT , der ...

Did you like the fuzzed up, warbly synths on Toro Y Moi’s ‘Underneath The Pine’? Have some more! And then some... This compilation of early recordings, previously only available as a tour CDR, strips back the gloss of production, leaving ten tracks of lo-fi, angular, weirdly melodic noise pop. On the one hand, it demonstrates Bundick’s clear ability to write oddly catchy pop with primitive gear. On the other, it occasionally sounds like a shopping trolley falling down stairs. Pick of the bunch are ‘Take The L To Leave’ (Boards of Canada doing indie rock!) and the rubber ...

You can't exactly describe music man Kwes as lazy. With a new EP out on legendary electronic label Warp, Meantime comes off the back of extensive experience working with some of British music's biggest and brightest. Producing Speech Debelle's second record Freedom Of Speech , a joint project with oddballs Micachu & the shapes imaginatively titled Kwesachu and even a stint producing for last year's DRC music project alongside Damon Albarn, XL boss Richard Russell and Actress to mention a few. This is of course alongside his debut EP No Need To Run released in 2010 and a slew of singles including the insanely catchy 'Get Up' which emerged at the end of last year. With this much experience and a near spotless track record, Meantime was always going to be a pretty special release. 

 Impressively, Kwes fits in remarkably well with the Warp label, best known for pioneering often more experimental acts like Battles, Aphex Twin and Flying Lotus. His warp credentials are proved from the off with the EP's opener 'Klee', coming off as an ode to Warp legends Boards of Canada with its grand atmospherics and spacious bleeping. It's a morphing electronic instrumental which would find itself quite happily at home towards the end of BOC's seminal album Music Has the Right to Children . What follows 'Klee' is a slight departure, with Kwes' vocals coming into play. The same nonchalant delivery from previous tracks like 'Get up' is still very much present; his relaxed vocal approach that he employs should be boring and throwaway but in the case of 'Meantime' it displays that the real standout elements of Kwes' music are the instrumentals and the lyrics. 'Bashful' for instance sees Kwes' deadpan vocals enter the stage, but ultimately they ...

It's a busy week on Planet Masala. On Sunday we helped send off Auckland noisemakers God Bows To Math (alongside Tiny Spiders and Quiet Steps, both playing their last shows for a while), and whilst it was a disappointing turnout, it was a lively and excellent show. I'm not resting on my or anyone else's laurels however, as this Friday sees the sixth instalment of our monthly showcases down at the Waiting Room. This one promises to be something markedly different than previous shows in that whilst it has always been eclectic, the lineup takes on two ...

We all know and love Warp records. They have left an undeniable mark on the development and direction of electronic music that will probably never leave. And why would we want it to. From launching the careers of legendary artists like Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Brian Eno, too ushering contemporary producers like Darkstar, [...]

If you’re anything like me — and by “like me,” I mean really into video games — then you probably already know about the video game Fez . You probably already downloaded it on Xbox Live Arcade. You probably already love it so much you want to squeeze its cute little marshmallow-looking main character to death like Elmyra from Tiny Toons . The game itself is pretty outstanding, but one of the things that’s made me obsess over it even more is the soundtrack. Created by one Rich Vreeland (a.k.a. Disasterpeace), the soundtrack takes chiptune into a very blissed-out drone ...
