New Music Monday: Miles Fisher

From a dead on Tom Cruise impression to a recent (albeit small) role in Mad Men, Miles Fisher seems to be on his way to doing something with his life besides graduating from some lame school in Mass.  Besides the fact that the video is a superb homage to American Psycho, this cover of ‘This Must Be the Place’ by the Talking Heads is better than the original, so check it out.  You can see the Cruise impression here.

New Music Monday: El Gunicho - Palmitos Park

Hey Music Goons-

The track this week comes from “El Gunicho” which in Spanish means The Guincho.

He describes his music as “space age exotica”…sounds nice to me.  His music has been compared to Os Mutantes, which is a great band too.

New Music Monday: Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream

This is the slow jam of the year. Empire of the Sun is the side project of the lead singer of the great Australian band the Sleepy Jackson.

He writes extremely unique and often bizarre songs that stick in your head.

A positive tune for some hopeful days.

Marvin The Human & DJ Jack Nimble

The worlds smartest man is a fitting name for this blog granted that a good amount of the new music posted here is from over seas. This week check out Marvin from UK. He has been in the UK rap scene for awhile now, originally going as Marvin the Martian in the rap crew Why Lout. He just released his new disc called “Devil in the distance” which is pretty cool from what I have heard so far. The tracks today are from a mix he put out a while back. It is quite common in the UK for rappers to build a fan base by releasing free remix album before their original album. If you like these tracks you can download the entire 29 track mix here.

Bonus points for guessing what songs he remixed! Stay tuned next week for some electronic music from Japan.

Enjoy-

Listen to Mystery Jets - Young Love

This week the song comes for the Mystery Jets hailing from the UK. They area young band with a lot of energy and the ability to write some catchy hooks and channel the 80 more successfully than many of today’s throw back bands while still sounding fresh. The track “young love” appears on their new album called “twenty one” and features the awesome female vocals of Laura Marling, a talented singer/songwriter in her own right. This track has out a smile on my face the last couple of weeks, so I hope you enjoy it.

Also check out a fun remix by The Shoes:

New Music Monday: Santogold - Shove It

Santogold has a sound that is instantly recognizable as quality. Santi crosses genres constantly, playing whatever the hell she wants, from dub to new wave. It is the authenticity and confidence in what she is doing that makes it all work together and the fact that she can write some incredible hooks. This post should have gone up 6 months ago when her demos were out, but it is never too late for good music. Check her out here.

Enjoy

The Four Edge - Gun Sale

The track this week comes from a Colorado musician going by the name “The Four Edge” AKA Niel Wright. I have been buddies with his brother for a long time, so I remember Niel since he was in middle school. Little did I know he would grow up to make some of the best music I have heard in a long time. Every track I have heard from him is solid and eclectic. It is nice to hear a debut so unique and original. He is recoding an EP now, so look for more from “The Four Edge” in the future. Go this way for more on The Four Edge.

Studio - West Side

And another new music Monday has arrived. I did not know that dub was popular in Sweden. I suppose people get irie all across this globe if you know what I mean. Anyways, if you like the English Beat or dub inspired rock you may find this song enjoyable to your ears. If you happen to be somewhere overseas in the next month you can check them out playing DJ sets in Tokyo or London. More about Studio here.

Magic Bullets - Will Scarlet

Do you ever feel nostalgia for an era you never lived through? For some reason I personally feel connected to the 60’s. I guess I did kind of look like Opie as a kid. When I hear the band the Magic Bullets it channels some sort of 60’s rock nostalgia in my brain. I am standing in front of the Delta House, from Animal House, going to see the band play in their basement. The 60’s sort of party where everyone is drinking cheap beer with the pull tabs and dancing like idiots.

The songs have the warmth to them and sound like they were recorded live in one long take. The bass is loud and rolls the listener through the whole album and drops them off at the end. If you like this track you should definitely check out the full album “a child but in life yet a Doctor in love” and if you live in San Francisco go see them.
