Twin Shadow debues on new Brooklyn Label

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

_______________________________________________________________________________

Download Twin Shadow here:

Twin Shadow – Slow (Van Rivers Remix)

The name might as well be a cool movie title: Twin Shadow in … Forget. Only it’s not a movie at all; it’s a panoramic LP that introduces us to the twilight zone tales of George Lewis Jr.

The troubled son of a hairdresser and a “teacher who lived many many lives” (semi-pro football, massage therapy, film maker and other interesting things we’ll tell you about when you’re older), George was born in the Dominican Republic and spent his formative years in Florida in the US. Not in a happening spot like Miami though…. but an island that happened to be the winter home base of the Ringling Brothers’ Circus and palm tree-flanked old people.

If you think that sounds strange? You don’t know half of it. And neither does George, although he’s trying to remember; trying to piece the sepia-toned scenes together along with this debut album that’s all about letting stuff go. Or is it really? Like an art-house double feature that leaves you wondering what the hell just happened in the very best way possible, Forget tells a spellbinding story without spelling everything out for you.

Forget isn’t tethered to any trends or a specific genre, either. Instead, it seems almost to be hovering above the landscape of many decades gone past; checking in at rest stops with the wheels pointed directly toward the future. So don’t be that surprised to hear things abruptly shift from synth-swept soundscapes (“I Can’t Wait,” “Castles In the Snow”) to the glimmers of gossamer dance music (“For Now,” “Shooting Holes At the Moon”) or full-on power ballades (“Slow”).

And who is that sitting there next to George’s director’s chair? Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear as producer, working closely with Twin Shadow, fine-tuning Forget’s special effects and maintaining the memory-wracked mood that George spent months perfecting in his old Brooklyn apartment. Brooklyn based label Terrible Records who will be taking Twin Shadow’s Forget on as their very first LP release.

“It’s bedroom recorded music, but produced with the same attention as many classic B-movies,” he says. “It’s not like a slapdash home video, though; it’s someone operating with very little equipment at 100-percent of their ability.”

In other words, Forget is like The Seventh Seal, but filtered through the drive-in feel of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Meaning: lots of tight shots, careful lighting, and a lingering sense of something’s not quite right—a film adaptation of George’s life which is essentially a 40-minute waking dream.

Free Track from James Curd

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Do you like downtempo music, chill out and downtempo grooves? I’ve released over 4 albums of downbeat and chill out music under the artist name Ganga, while touring, performing internationally and collaborating regularly with other artists in electronic, funk and world music genres. I am blogging regularly on the free chill out music blog, reviewing, recommending and showcasing new chilled beats and tracks from around the world. So make sure you’re signed up to my email list to receive ongoing updates on new chill, world, funk and electronic music as well as some free chill out music downloads – including instant access to the track “Light” from my 4th album “Gaia” and also another bonus track “Chioolin”.

Download free track here:

http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/James_Curd/track/Live_Forever_feat_JDub

James Curd began DJing in Chicago when he was only fifteen years old. Being underage, Curd had to sneak into events to play at raves and clubs where he was not legally allowed in. Back in those days he played along side some of
electronic music’s most respected acts and DJs. Through his love of DJing and music Curd began to write and producehis own material. At nineteen Curd released his first track on the globally respected record label “Basenotic”, based in Paris. From there on Curd created “Greenskeepers”, a name that would from that day on represent himself and the wide range of music he wrote and the artists he collaborated with.

As “Greenskeepers” Curd released a lot of music on Classic records. He made a huge bench mark on the dance music world by infusing swing music and Chicago house to invent the term G-Swing, being short for his own Greenskeepers Swing. Curd focused on G-Swing and started a label by
that same name to feature his unique sound and around this same time Curd also owned and operated two other record labels called “Igloo” and “Greenskeepers Music”.

Curd released four full length albums under Greenskeepers, “Ziggy Franklin Radio Show”, “Pleetch”, “Polo Club” and the latest called “Live Like You Want To Live”. Curd has also had phenomenal individual success
with other releases on DFA, Drop, Child’s Play, OM, Ministry Of Sound, Aroma and Defected to name a few. So Wwth such a huge catalogue catalogue of quality music out, Curd was bound for wide success.

Commercially he has been doing really well, and four of Curd’s songs have been featured on “Grey’s Anatomy”, while others have appeared on T.V shows such as C.S.I Miami, Point Pleasant, MTV Real World and Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Many of his tracks can
also be found in foreign films as well as main stream movies such as “What Happens In Vegas” and the huge block buster animation “The Incredibles”. If you listen carefully, you will also find Curd’s work on BBC documentaries and American Airlines inflight radio!

Curd has toured a lot all over the world, renowned for his energy behind the decks and his ability to make a party. His sets have continued to earn the respect of veteran club goers and his capabilities have enabled him to lure the new kids to hit the dance floor when he plays. Curd has performed at Fabric in London, The Avalon in Los Angeles, Home in Sydney to The Arches in Glasgow. Curd has also been part of festivals such as the Park Life in Australia, Lollapalooza In Chicago, T In The Park in Scotland and Electric Picnic over in Ireland.

Curd continues to release quality new music by pushing his sound while also staying true to his own roots. With Curd anything can be expected. Whether it’s The Rockstar Games using his song for the “Grand Theft Auto 4″ Ad campaign or his latest album (EP)which is sitting
at number one on Juno. You never know where he might pop up next time.

“Black City” – new album from Matthew Dear

Friday, December 17th, 2010

Do you like downbeat music, chill out and downtempo grooves? I’ve released over 4 albums of downbeat and chill out music under the artist name Ganga, while touring, performing internationally and collaborating regularly with other artists in electronic, funk and world music genres.

Depending on whom you might ask, Matthew Dear is a DJ, a dance-music producer, an experimental pop artist or maybe a bandleader. He co-founded both Ghostly International and its dancefloor offshoot called Spectral Sound. He has remixed The XX, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Spoon, Hot Chip, The Postal Service, and Chemical Brothers and he has made mixes for the Fabric mix series and Get Physical’s Body Language. He maintains four aliases (Audion, False, Jabberjaw, and Matthew Dear), each with its own style and distinct visual identity. He straddles multiple musical worlds and really doesn’t belong to any—and he’s just hitting his stride now.?Matthew Dear’s 2003 full-length Ghostly debut, Leave Luck to Heaven, was a suite of sparse, wickedly funky house laced with Matthew Dear’s deep, distinctive vocals, and includes the very much-loved single “Dog Days” (voted one of Pitchfork’s Top 100 Songs of the Decade). The record was met with huge acclaim from both the dance-music establishment and the critical press, including a four-star review in Rolling Stone Magazine. Dear’s 2007 follow-up,?”Asa Breed”, is a considerable departure from the dancefloor excursions on “Heaven”, incorporating the polyrhythms of Afrobeat, the irreverent pop sensibilities of Brian Eno, and the brute beauty of Krautrock. More four-stars reviews followed in Q and Mojo magazines, and Dear began touring with a live three-piece band, Matthew Dear’s Big Hands, where he acted as frontman with a Bryan Ferry-like swagger and a gentleman’s grace.?Today, Matthew Dear finds himself in a very unique position. His highly anticipated fourth album, “Black City”, is the culmination of many years of hard work and experimentation, a dark playful sound-world that envelopes the listener like arms of a malevolent lover. After over a decade of exploring the outer limits of pop, Matthew Dear now inhabits his very own corner of the musical universe: no longer specialized one genre, respected by his peers, and blessed with a bottomless well of that massive creative energy. Now is Matthew Dear’s very own moment, and it sounds like nothing else.

Underworld – Always loved a film

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Are you a fan of downbeat music, chill out and downtempo grooves? I’ve released over 4 albums of downbeat and chill out music under the artist name Ganga, while touring, performing internationally and collaborating regularly with other artists in electronic, funk and world music genres. I am blogging regularly on the free chill out music blog, reviewing, recommending and showcasing new chilled beats and tracks from around the world.

_________________________________________________________________________

Here is a funny cover version of an Underworld track called “Always loved a film”.

Download the track here:

http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/Underworld/track/King_Creosote_-_Always_Loved_A_Film_Underworld_Cover

You know that if King Creosote’s covering Underworld it’s gonna be like “feeling morose with strangers in a chill-out room” than “hovering over my head looking down at myself screaming with unbridled joy”. To be fair to Kenny Anderson, his version of “Always Loved A Film” bomps along lively enough, sounding like Hot Chip might if their electricity was confiscated. Underworld by the way have a new single called “Bird 1″ out November 22.

The single is accompanied by a video directed by Dylan Kendle. It employs time-lapse photography to a lovely and intriguing effect. The film is Kendle’s first video for over ten years, and is in part inspired by an unexpected event that took place at his mother’s house. “There was a line [in the song], ‘there is one bird in my house’, that reminded me of an old incident at my Mum’s,” he explains. “A bird got into the dining room and smashed all of the china on the shelves. Everything was so calm before and SO different afterwards, but for several minutes there was an explosion of colour and the room just came to life as the pieces flew.”

Download the cover here:

http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/Underworld/track/King_Creosote_-_Always_Loved_A_Film_Underworld_Cover

Underworld will be releasing their new single Bird 1 on the 22nd Nov).

Stereolab – tidings of new recordings from the french

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Do you like downbeat music, chill out and downtempo grooves? I’ve released over 4 albums of downbeat and chill out music under the artist name Ganga, while touring, performing internationally and collaborating regularly with other artists in electronic, funk and world music genres. I am blogging regularly on the free chill out music blog, reviewing, recommending and showcasing new chilled beats and tracks from around the world.

_________________________________________________________________________

Check out this free track:

http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/Stereolab/track/Sun_Demon

In 2007 Stereolab reconvened at their studio Instant Zero in Bordeaux to record 32 new songs which would become two very distinct albums – 2008’s Chemical Chords and then their new release, Not Music. Although on a self-imposed hiatus, ‘Not Music’ is a eery rich and overflowing palette, readily able to blur the gulf between Os Mutantes and then the BBC Radiophonic Orchestra; merge Krzysztof Komeda with Lou Reeds Velvet Underground, Francoise Hardy with Neu! and Burt Bacharach with …. eh… Esquivel. A super-deluxe blend, in other words, with different ingredients plucked assiduously from pop’s coolest outposts: 50’s lounge pop, Rive Gauche chanson, Brazilian tropicalia and North American art rock and also some Krautrock. Somehow they distil these apparently incongruent components into their own strange and beautiful mixture.

The Temper Trap

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Are you a fan of downbeat music, chill out and downtempo grooves? My name is Christian Ronn and I’ve released over 4 albums of downbeat and chill out music under the artist name Ganga, while touring and performing internationally and collaborating with other artists in electronic, funk and world music genres. I am blogging regularly on the free chill out music blog, reviewing, recommending and showcasing new chilled beats and tracks from around the world. So make sure you’re signed up to my email list to receive ongoing updates on new chill, world, funk and electronic music as well as free chill out music downloads – including instant access to the track “Light” from my 4th album “Gaia” and another bonus track “Chioolin”.
___________________________________________________________________________
When The Temper Trap play live, it’s blinding. From the first note to the frenzied climax to the final crash – you’re getting lost and you’re loving it. The band is like a pulsating, beating heart that bucks and swells through flawless melodies, crushing rock surges and pure anthemic revelry as singer Dougy Mandagi’s voice soars, coils and skates inside the lush instrumentation and throbbing beats – his eyes closed, and fists clenched. He’s under his own magic spell, and you will be too.   This is what the pressoffice say about The Temper Trap. Vocalist/songwriter Dougy Mandagi drew life from music at a very early age. His father, a country music fan and guitarist, introduced him to artists like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, and he grew up playing in bands and singing in the church choir with his uncle, a classical guitarist, and his aunt who was a pianist. The big musical influence evolved and grew with Dougy as he moved from island to island in Indonesia, then to Hawaii, and finally to Melbourne, where he hit the streets as a busker – sketching portraits for $25 a piece, and singing songs for spare change.    Some years later, Dougy was working at the same clothing store as the drummer Toby Dundas. The two decided to start a new band. In need of a bassist, Dougy asked an old friend who worked a few doors down, Johnny Aherne, who had never really played the bass but was keen to learn – and the two of them developed a brotherly friendship. The trio practiced like crazy, and with the addition of guitarist Lorenzo Sillitto, a childhood skater friend of Toby’s, things started to come together – and The Temper Trap was born right there.   The band quickly began making the rounds on Melbourne’s indie circuit, and after a very impressive set at the 2006 Laneway Festival, things started happening. U.K. producer Jim Abbiss (The Arctic Monkeys, Bjork, Adele, Kasabian, U.N.K.L.E), traveled to Melbourne to record The Temper Trap’s debut album. Ahead of its release, the band relocated to East London, where they immediately charmed the critics.
And when you hear their album Conditions, it’s easy to see why. The album is a glorious and dynamic ride through uncharted musical territory, careening elegantly through the disparate musical reference points and artistic sensibilities of four very different people – you can hear Lorenzo’s love of Motown, Toby’s ear for indie and electronica, Johnny’s affection for modern pop-rock like Weezer and The Flaming Lips and Dougy’s fondness of everything from U2 to Massive Attack, Katy Perry to Bob Marley, and Radiohead to Arcade Fire. Album opener “Love Lost” alternates soulful, R&B vocals with soaring washes of sound; “Down River” delivers a rally cry you can’t help but scream along to; and songs like “Soldier On” weave around Dougy’s ethereal falsetto with unparalleled grace. The heart of the album is its first single, “Sweet Disposition” which is an epic ride, throbbing amid Dougy’s feverish, other-worldly voice.

School of seven bells – inspired by Brian Enos strategems

Friday, November 19th, 2010

School of Seven Bells has taken their magic seriously. Symbols, myths and mantras—in the hands of sisters/vocalists Alejandra and Claudia Deheza and guitarist/producer Benjamin Curtis, these mystical practices has become achingly human, methods of making sense of an emotionally very complex world. School of Seven Bells’ sophomore album Disconnect from Desire the follow-up to the Brooklyn trio’s breakthrough debut Alpinisms and takes its title from one of Brian Eno’s oblique stratagems; its’ cryptic album image is a “sigil,” a mystical figure containing the energy and intent of the whole album. The real magic of Disconnect from Desire, though, lives in the music: ten tracks of soaring, visionary beautiful dream-pop from a band working at the height of its powers.

On Disconnect from Desire, School of Seven Bells has focused the layered electronic textures and dense lyricism of Alpinisms to a razor’s point, distilling the music to its very essence as guitars ring, beats crunch, and the Deheza sisters’ voices intertwine with new, right-in-your-ears clarity. “I want you to know that I loved you,” Alejandra Deheza sings on “I L U”, lending emotional directness to the track’s maelstrom of synthesized atmosphere and gently curving samples; “Babelonia” lays the protagonist’s wounded psyche on top of a deep, baggy beat and overlapping, Stereolab-esque vocal tricks; “Dust Devil” matches a staccato, New Order-style bassline to the Dehezas’ distended melodies as the trio dips the toes into dance music and comes up glowing; and lead single “Windstorm” deftly evokes Eurythmics’ pointillist art-pop, slashed through with shoegaze guitars and sweetly menacing high falsetto. More than anything, Disconnect from Desire sounds huge, and each instrument and electronic blip complements its partners and contributes to an ever-expanding whole.

Disconnect from Desire is indeed a complete work—an old-fashioned album from forward-thinking minds, as thematically airtight as it is mind-bendingly beautiful. In the end, the “sigil” on the cover of Disconnect from Desire is the perfect analog to this music: strange and yet familiar, exquisitely rendered, breathtaking to behold.

Kanye West – G.o.o.d. Friday

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Sign up for regular free chillout music downloads including “Chioolin” & “More Light Please – Ibiza mix”

Download:

Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Friday—his drop of free new great music every Friday until the release of his fifth album—has been racked with huge epics, gifting us with a couple major posse cuts. There is nothing too out of the ordinary (i.e. no Bon Iver feature) on this one seeing as it’s loaded with friends he’s been collaborating with forever and ever. But sometimes it’s a little surprising when Swizz Beatz is on top of something smoothed out instead of a rap fire alarm call like you would normally expect. It’s just five guys laying it down over a beat appropriate for a Sunday afternoon drive, sun shining, but even better for homelistening, since everyone is coming with it on top of their lyrical games. And who doesn’t want to soak in every single one of Kanye West’s ridiculous cool punchlines?
