Tuesday Morning Turntable (TMT)

Ok, so I know things are constantly changing here at the InDigest Blog, but bare with us as we're getting the new content situation figured out and preparing for the relaunch of InDigestMag.com. Point being: This is now TMT, Tuesday Morning Turntable (despite the fact that it's Tuesday night....).

Daniel Johnston - "Freedom"
A surprisingly upbeat track from the cult folkie's new disc. It almost reminds me of Conor Oberst for some reason.

Slaraffenland: "Open Your Eyes"
A strikingly beautiful circus of sound. The track starts jagged with woodwinds punctuating a murky silence. The whole track gives way to a sort of Bon Iver-ish vibe when the percussion comes in heavy just after the four minute mark.

Orenda Fink - "High Ground" w/ Issac Brock
Orenda Fink's second solo disc since leaving Azure Ray in the past is titled Ask the Night and will be out on October 6. This is the first taste of what's going to be on the disc. It's sulk-laden dark pop music, as she has done in the past, but the addition of Modest Mouse's Issac Brock taking the backing vocals and some banjo rocking under her saturating voice gives me the chills.

Converge "Dark Horse"
I still love some goddamn horses in the final 100, riff-laden metal, and, despite what my mother says, Converge still rocks as hard as anyone around. "Dark Horse" is a preview of their forthcoming album Axe to Fall, and it's epic.

múm - "Illuminated"
As múm continually becomes more melody and structure oriented I've found that I've become less and less interested in their albums. Yet, "Illuminated" bucks this trend. It's a beautiful eerie song that's getting me excited for their fall tour. Note to múm: Please disregard my request that play only tracks from Summer Make Good.

Alec Ounsworth - "Holy, Holy, Holy Moses (Song for New Orleans)"
Ounsworth, the charming singer of quirk rock stars Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! releases a preview of a forthcoming solo effort (in addition to another side project he's coming out with this year) that is shockingly beautiful and straightforward for the guy who wrote "Satan Said Dance."

No Age - "You're a Target"
Frantic drums, piles of distortion, an undertone of pop music. Smile.

Diamond Rings - "All Yr Songs"
Dammit, this song shouldn't have come to my attention in August. It's such a great summer song. Not too happy, killer wood-block party, catchy as hell. Enjoy it before the sun dies.

J. Tillman - "Though I Have Wronged You"
Fleet Foxes drummer has already proved that he's got more than one good disc in him.

Fontän: "Neanderthaler"
Swedish electronic musician / producer Fontän has worked with the best indie-pop Sweden has to offer including Lykke Li and Jens Lekman. Striking out on his own now he's created a swirling milieu of guitars and pulsating rhythms that will make your head nod uncontrollably.
