    Finish My Fucking Album (A Dressed Like Wolves Film) from Rick Dobbing on Vimeo. Dressed Like Wolves have got a new album out and if you're a fan of lo-fi bedroom pop then you should download it for free while you can.

    Syd Lane – Hypatia RELEASES, REVIEWS, SYD LANE | (1)
    Free download: quixodelic.com/site/category/syd-lane/ 2011 is shaping up to be a vintage year... Rocketships of Love, Simon Piler, Fig Mints on the horizon, possibly some Burnouts, maybe even (gulp) a Warchalking record. And now, straight out of left field with flowers in its hair, a spring in its determined step, and more magical melodies than the laws of physics deems is possible to be contained on one record, is something truly brilliant. Of course I'm talking about 'Hypatia', the latest offering from the inimitable Syd Lane. The big question for me was 'How can anything possibly top It Begins In Beauty?' and sturdier ...

I like Simon Piler's music for many more reasons, most of which I have expounded somewhere along the line.

    nickfraelich.bandcamp.com/album/obnoxious-dancing-music Something of an honour for me this one. Nick Fraelich first appeared on the tenth and final Daydream Generation compilation at the end of 2010 and blew my socks off with the experimental folk-pop of the quite amazing 'Meta-Song'. Away from more traditional song structures, I also knew that he dabbled in the black magic of psychedelic electronica and had heard the brilliant head-fuck of 'Trip Tent Sound Interlude'. So when a little birdie told me that he was working on an ambient/electronic record including collaborative remixes and was looking for submissions, I rooted around on my computer and unearthed ...
