Nickky gave me these tracks by Halifax band DUZHEKNEW which appear on a split tape with halifax band Cousins. it’s really cool stuff, kind of off kilter moody newwaveish indie. I think you’ll digit after one or two listens. let it simmer first.
and a cool Cousins track off the same tape. Kind of Chad Van style, definitely with the singing at the very least.

On a bit of a tear trying to regroup the lost members of the sadly disbanded Constantines. As one of our writers posted last week Bry Webb the front man of the Cons has released a solo record which sounds fucking amazing. That guy is really on it. Now Deloro has come to my attention. Remember reading about these guys awhile back when Cons first split up. From what I can tell Deloro is the Cons bassit accompanied by a few Toronto musicians including the new Flemish Eye artist Jennifer Castles. The music is really cool. So I figured I’ll share a bit.

Fuckin’ radical heavy psych metal from Japans Travellin’ Flower Band circa 1971. I’ve read it didn’t go much farther then the album Satori, but hell thats good enough for me. Wail on Satori, wail on.

San Fran garage psych rocker Ty Segall put out a sweet record this year, it’s the one with the basset hound on the cover called Goodbye Bread. Segall’s music is pretty great, a mix of some of my favourite groups like Thee Oh Sees and Jay Retard (rip). A collection of his singled from 2007 to 2010 has been released to rave reviews, and thats fine, because it’s great! Most songs clock in at a minute and a half with the entire 25 song record lasting only one hour! here’s three tracks to dig on.

Rob said this guy plays bass for tuneyards. i dont know if that’s true or not but he certainly is touring with her right now. Sad I missed their set at the biltmore on saturday, oh well go to see Wu Lyf instead so I can’t complain. Anyways this Pat Jordache record is really fucking cool. He has a very distinctive sound. It’s akin to what would be a poppy version of Women or a lopsided Interpol. From the get go Future Songs sounds like a marry go round of indie hooks and odd ball crooner vocal stylings. Love it! Wont be missing Pat Jordache next time he comes through vancouver that’s for sure.

mann I wish I was this talented before I could grow a mustache. London Englands King Krule has the soul of a musician twice his age and hopefully the EP he just released just a precursor to some seriously good tunes to come. If you listen to this song without looking at his weird ginger face this could be one of the best songs of the year. Deep and smooth vocals with incredibly catchy and diverse instrumentation. Chill wave for jazz musicians. Kind of wish King Krule had stayed “mysterious” like The Weeknd, young indie superstars who look weird preforming on stage because they can’t drink yet. Oh well, the music’s good so let’s all chill out and dig this stuff. Honestly I’m just jealous, no offence King Krule.

Bay Area indie rockers Wet Illustrated released their new LP entitled 1x1x1 on October 25th this year. The music is related to jingly indie rockers like Guided by Voices, maybe a bit happier. They dont stray too far from the tried and true sound of garage indie but some tracks like Satellite Kids have a weird angular hook layered underneath all that reverb. Been trying to find a leak of this forever and failed until know so please, reap the rewards of my uncountable hours spent on the internet mindlessnessly typing “1x1x1 rar” into google.
