Monday Morning Mixtape

Here's a little mixtape to help you plow through the week:

Times New Viking - "Move to California"
+ Awesome noise jam with a hook from their new album Born Again Revisited, out on 09.22 through Matador.

Anti-Pop Consortium - "Volcano" (Four Tet Remix)
+ Hip=Hop legends the Anti-Pop Consortium have been working on a new disc for a while now. They released "Volcano" back in June and have now had Kieran Hebden make it a little spacetastic. Still not sure when the disc is coming out for sure.
Via P4K

Radiohead - "These Are My Twisted Words"
+ The second new single track release from Radiohead in August. This one caused some buzz initially because no one actually knew if it was them or not. It is, and it's pretty solid.

HEALTH - "We Are Water"
+ HEALTH seem to be doing everything right at the moment. "We Are Water" is a thick track with churning guitars, spaced out reverb laced vocals, and great minimal hook.
via P4K

Elvis Perkins in Dearland - "Slow Doomsday"
+ A slowly plodding track, with a percussive drive, and a trumpet that doesn't feel affected. This is why Perkins' brand of indie-pop gets me.

The Very Best - "Yalira"
+ The Very Best does an incredible job of mixing elements of hip-hop and African beat. Every track that comes out is better than the last and "Yalira" is not an exception.

Os Mutantes - "Anagrama"
+ Os Mutantes forthcoming album, Haih Or Amortecedor, is their first in 35 years, via Anti-. All signs seem to indicate that this is going to be a Guns 'n' Roses reunion.

Zomby - "Helter Skelter"
+ Dub-step behemoth Zomby put out a new track through RCRD LBL this week. It's short and sweet, but it's the kind of track that makes the whole world seem a little silly if you're walking around and listening to it.

Lightning Bolt - "Colossus"
+ This new track from Lightning Bolt is less noise oriented than you might expect. The track drives forward as though their influences were more prone to metal rather than a broken casette deck and rattling radiator.
via P4K

Pissed Jeans - "Dream Smotherer"
+ Pissed Jeans are a sort of hardcore-ish band that retains a sense of melody and core of punk rock. They remind me of Fucked Up in the way they can craft songs that can be called both brutal and beautiful.
