look who's here to see you

Hounds of Love is available today on heavyweight pink vinyl in honor of record store day. In another life (when we were both cats) I owned it on cheap-ass vinyl and played this shit out of this song.

heavy

New Clams Casino track from the beloved Tri Angle Records:

 

Clams Casino - Gorilla by TriAngleRecords

 

This is weird, dark, heavy and just massive. The beat literally sleeps and stumbles before surging back into play, a force, a hurricane in a fragile teacup. More, please.

go loudly into the dark

A newsflash from our former webmistress Krystyn:

Salem have remixed Interpol. Carlos D's moustache weeps, but we rejoice.

Interpol: Try It On (Salem remix)

 

Enjoy the chopping of Paul's voice to add that mixtape-esque "Salem-suh-suh-SALEM" tag? And the rolling snares...never knew Interpol needed those rolling snares.

All in all, this is euphoric music to cry to. As we said before, it's what Salem's doing well these days.

wide and glassy eyed

So there's a new SALEM remix, of Charli XCX's "Stay Away". We don't know the original, but this rejigger is moving more towards the "RAVER STAY WIF ME" mindset of beautiful, broken post-ecstasy comedown emo torture. And it's fucking lovely.

Apartment Story: The Jezabels

We recently spent a Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn with Australian quartet The Jezabels, who treated us to a minimalist rendition of their gorgeous song "Sahara Mahala." This guitar-and-shaker take is a nice counterpart to the recorded version on the band's third and most recent EP, Dark Storm, which is buoyed by lush instrumentation and heavy percussion. The Jezabels plan to release their first full-length record later this year, and we're already saving a spot on our Best Of lists.
