Far too many awesome tracks dropped in the past week, so rather than taking a magnifying glass to each one lets set our memories straight and gorge like we just collected a heap o’ Halloween candy!
White Hinterland covered this decade’s 26th best tune and somehow made it audibly more impressive – yo p4k, lets get a recount! Casey Dienel, you’re oh so perfect. Pick this up from her tour-exclusive EP, Fresh From the Garden.
Fool’s Gold had to drop from our CMJ party and we’re all super bummed to be missing our Los Angeles brethren. However, when Phaseone gets his hands on anything we tend to smile a ton so it’s only natural that his work on “Surprise Hotel” has me drumming on my desk like Clipse’s “Grindin” just came out. Straight up gorgeous.
New jam from Pure Ecstasy courtesy of Friendship Bracelet. “EASY” floats along the top of the skyline bouncing off building tops and brushing against the base of clouds. Purce Ecstasy is the ice cream flavor that we dream about. Wow that can be taken out of context…just download and love. Pre-order the single here.
I’ll round this out with our long-time love affair White Rainbow. Since we’ve been jamming out to White Rainbow boogie has not been the first word that comes to mind but if you caught Adam on the Dan Deacon/No Age/Deerhunter round robin tour he was breaking beats like no one’s business! Well, maybe GDFX if he threw in some badass samples. Here’s a recent tune.
I don’t know if this is a stretch, but if we have any readers in Portland then I have to recommend an incredible show for tomorrow night. Lucky Dragons, White Rainbow, Rob Walmart and Dash will play an all ages show at Hush on 14 NW 3rd @ Burnside. Now we’ve spoken about Lucky Dragons a lot recently, and Dream Island Laughing Language made my best of ‘08 so no more needs to be said at this moment, but White Rainbow and Rob Walmart are an incredible example of teamwork. During CMJ week I caught up with White Rainbow in Brooklyn, he was in an old postal or ice cream truck with Rob Walmart just playing music in the rain on the sidewalk. Maybe I was in a different state at the time, but what an incredible experience! I’d just like for everyone to experience shows from inside of cars.
Well if you live in LA you should be familiar with tonight’s inaugural event, Glow (click to see schedule of events). What I’m here to say is that if you’ve made the right choice to go to Glow instead of Hard, DO NOT MISS WHITE RAINBOW. FMLY has previously posted on Portland’s White Rainbow, but if you missed our praise then come check him out for yourself. Adam Forkner is a man not to be missed; you can find him at 2am tonight playing in the carousel building…a perfect choice.
Here’s a video of Adam hanging out with Pauly Shore, it’s a good watch.
I really wish that I had some legitimate mp3’s to share with you guys on this post but I don’t and I’m sorry. White Rainbow is Adam Forkner from Portland who makes very minimalist and primal music. If you’re ready to chill hard then hit up White Rainbow’s MySpace here to listen to a bunch of great tracks. Best described: If Health and Sigur Ros were making love to Animal Collective this might be what it would sound like. But in all seriousness I highly suggest that you check out a track -my favorite is “SUNSHADOWDRIFTER” and see if this is for you – mp3’s to come! Until then, enjoy this video from an in-store at Family Records.
If you do visit White Rainbow’s page and find that you’re into the music then I highly suggest checking out Pocahaunted, Ecstatic Sunshine, Lucky Dragons and White Fang. I’ll blog about all of these and more throughout the week so feel free just to wait.
