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."
via Stereogum

No Age - "You're a Target"
Frantic drums, piles of distortion, an undertone of pop music. Smile.
via P4K

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.
Via P4K

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

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.

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.
via P4K

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.
via RCRD LBL

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.
via Stereogum

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.
via Stereogum

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.
via Stereogum

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.
via RCRD LBL

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.
