Swedish bands are Awessssome.

Marching Band - Spark Large

Photobucket

The latest album from these Swedish folk can be described as playful and whimsical. When i listen to it i think of holding a bright lollipop and skipping. oh yes, skipping. Then sitting under a tree and having a cold lemonade. Even though I can't stand lemonade. Marching Band makes me want one.


I'm going to check them out during their month long november residency @ Spaceland. are you?

In the vain of Flying Lotus

Burial - Untrue

Photobucket


After almost a year of listening to this album, it just gets better and better. Untrue plays out like a carefully crafted film. The beats he creates are one's you can slide right into. Enjoyable record for any of the following:

a. driving in rush hour traffic
b. relaxing with a glass of wine
c. background entertainment music for an uber cool party
d. cleaning from that uber cool party you hosted the night before

If you like Flying Lotus, this is a step beyond.

Currently Listening to ....

Flying Lotus - Los Angeles

It's a head trip. Sharp, curvy and rough around the ears while making you groove to a new beat.


highly recommended for those electronic fans that want something with a hard edged groove.
