I’ve been on an electronic and synthesizing kick, recently, after seeing Com Truise, and producer Daniel “Skit” Bruin fits perfectly into that.  I won’t hold his record label’s silly name against Skit, but “Rankadank”?  Really?  I’m tempted to just call them “badonkadonk.”  But I digress. The tracks, “Capoeira” and “Atlantis” are definitely easy to listen to [...]

One thing that always amazes me about music is how new stuff gets written every day. With a handful of notes, artists still manage to create new songs and tunes and only occasionally do you hear something and think, “That sounds like…”. Some artists look beyond the usual music scale and find other ways to [...]

While listening to Teeel, I’m reminded of a roadtrip I took this last Christmas season through the American Southwest.

Remember how last week I’d mentioned that Com Truise was one talented motherfucker when it comes to creating a complete package in 80′s throwback tone and style?  Well he’s followed it up this week with another example “Cathode Girls”, the first single from his upcoming debut album on Ghostly “Galactic Melt”. Those distinctive-yet-seemingly-making-an-appearance-on-every-other-80′s-nostalgia-tinged-musical-wannabe synths are [...]

Let’s not talk about music for a minute, but instead aesthetics. It’s one thing to make music that’s appealing and earnestly nostalgic, but when you can accompany that with artwork and an entire design focus around the throwback era you’re stylising in your music, that’s some impressive shit, especially when it’s all be done in-house too. That’s [...]

Com Truise, aka Seth Haley, first released this EP back in June of 2010, but has recently repackaged and rereleased it with four extra tracks for the princely sum of nothing. You can head over to his (beautifully designed)  website and pick it up for absolutely zilch. If you are unfamiliar with Com Truise, we [...]

This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail [...]
