New Music: never too much
by Katie Kish on Mar.27, 2007, under MP3, Music
Yes, this may be my third installment of New Music in the past week, but I don’t think we can ever actually have too much new music - so I for one - am extremely excited about round two of new music… Lots of electronic goodness. I am also extremely excited that I converted three people in Stars lovers this week. Sweet. ready?… okay, here goes.
Low - Breaker (Drums & Guns) *this album rox harder than anything I’ve heard in a long time*
Illinois - Nosebleed (What the Hell Do I Know?) *give it a few seconds before hating it*
LCD Soundsystem - Time To Get Away (Sound of Silver) *I’d go to clubs if they played stuff like this*
Panda Bear - Im Not (Person Pitch) *annnimal coooollective! I will admit this isn’t the best track on the album, but the two best tracks are over twelve minutes long…*
Air - Napalm Love (Pocket Symphony) *I know - I thought they stopped making music, too.*
The Willowz - Warship (Chautauqua) *the girl on the bass in this band rocks harder than you ever will.*
