Despite the fact that my boyfriend thinks I only like music because it is new, I wanted to share some free music downloads from band that are, aghast, newish to me and yes, I do like them. This is all coming from a man who prefers the oldies of his youth, but can't help but jam to Animal Collective when he hears it enough...
GOWNS(artists Erika Anderson, Ezra Buchla, and Corey Fogel) final release, at a startling 17 minutes long, "Stand and Encounter," is a song that is supposedly comprised of what made them so famous. Here's their description from their blog:
"At 17 minutes long, it’s a good representation of everyone doing the best of what they do best: it’s got Corey’s frenetic yet graceful drum patterns, Ezra’s swelling viola drones, a rhythmic and powerful guitar line, and a vocal and lyrical style that is at once direct and oblique."
In the spirit of "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone" here's their final performance a la free download here.
In preparation for the Brian Jonestown Massacre's tenth album's (Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?) arrival on Feb. 23rd they've released the first single free and easy and you can download it here. I, naturally, do their latest release zero justice, so please read what the lovelies at RCRD LBL had to say about it:
"Let's go fucking mental" is sort of a moot appeal for California's infamous and storied psych collective The Brian Jonestown Massacre, because we've come to expect them to flip their wigs with relative ease and frequency (no shots, though!). Musically, this one isn't all that nuts–its encircling fuzz clouds and heavy limbed drumming are more drugged desert sojourn than spastic freak-out–but really there are few, if any, bands we'd rather lead us on such a voyage."
