I just really had to get that damn eye ball off the first post. It probably scared some people away… There’s no other reason for this weird mix of tunes…
Bjork – Nattura (Switch Remix)
Deerhunter – Hazel St.
Electric President – Insomnia
EDIT – In case you cared – US relaxes grips on the internet
Coming from Los Angeles the ’snow day’ is nothing but a mythical being that I could only one day wish to experience. Well, March 2, I just want to wish you and the world a happy snow day! Classes here in New York are cancelled leaving me with nothing to do but catch a few more z’s and present a mini-mixtape of relevant tunes that I really enjoy. A special track in here is from one of FMLY’s closest FRNDS, Timothy Rabbit, who you may know at the bassist of The Morning Benders. We’ve known Tim since ‘05 and are so proud of him, keep it up, wherever you are on tour! Also of note is satanstompingcaterpillars, lasting from 2000-’03 consisting of Tobacco and Power Pill Fist, three albums were released – the last of which contains several songs that would go on to become Black Moth Super Rainbow. Explosions In The Sky’s “Snow and Lights” would have been a great addition, but I take it you all have those notes tattoo’d by now, crazy kids…
Electric President – Snow On Dead Neighborhoods
Timothy Rabbit – It’s Always Snowing In Iceland
Grouper – Wind and Snow
satanstompingcaterpillars – Black Snow (pre-Black Moth Super Rainbow)
So what do you want from Electric President? A new CD? You got it. If you’re asking for a great first track, you got that as well. In fact, as soon as you pop in the album, you know exactly how it’s going to turn out, which could be a good or bad thing.
Ben Cooper and Alex Kane (
Electric President) have dug out of the Jacksonville music scene in Florida and into the hearts of country men and urbanity combined. It’s as if you took my acoustic guitar, and turned it into a jet plane meshed together into an intricate, confusing, yet perfect bond.
Their latest album, Sleep Well produced by Morr Music, has really stirred up the cream in my morning coffees. I wanted more hard rock, and damn straight, I got it. Expect less acoustic-electric, and Morr electric-electric; less melodic humming, and a Morr eerie-factor. It’s a mood shift from their past Self-Titled album, but a shift you should tune in to yourself.
