mp3 :: Ghost Animal > Tired (A Ceremony)

b o b — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:09:58 +0000

The duo known as Ghost Animal plays some “twisted surf pop”. While they have been floating some free mp3s of said musics (a/k/a self-releasing) via their Bandcamp, they will soon release two 7″s and a full length cassette (plus digital). One 7″ will be released on the AMDISCS label (release date: ???), and the other one will come out on Spooky Town probably in November. Summertime in Hell will handle the full length digital and Orchid Tapes will be putting out 75 of the 100 tapes that have been manufactured (25 will be available at shows). The full length album should be out real soon. Listen.

Downloadable: Tired (A Ceremony) (mp3)

Oh, and did you get a chance to listen to this previously posted Ghost Animal track being remixed by Philly knob tweakers Golden Ages.

mp3 :: Day of the Woman > I’d Be Insane To Say It (Ape School Remix)

b o b — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:23:19 +0000

The full length remix-heavy self-titled album by Day of the Woman which fuses the sounds of Yppah (Joe Corrales) and Pollination (Nick Noeding) and Stenographer (Dave Salinas), will see official free release on September 21st via the Exponential label. That said, I should point out that the album has already been uploaded to the Exponential Bandcamp page. You can stream the whole album right now using the widget below, or download the whole thing by clicking on the widget’s download link. All that is required for download is an email address. Listen.

Streamable: Day of the Woman (bandcamp)

The band creates instrumental music that mixes post-rock guitar, electronic beats and shoegazey noise. The tunes are psychedelic in effect. The album includes remixes from each member of the project as well as Mexicans with Guns (previously posted here), Ape School, Landing, and Zoon van Snook. This here is the Ape School remix. It kills. Listen.

Downloadable: I’d Be Insane To Say It (Ape School Remix) (mp3)

mp3 :: Superchunk > Skip Steps 1 & 3

b o b — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:08:45 +0000

And now it’s time to reacquaint yourself with a classic… No Pocky For Kitty by Superchunk recently got the reissue treatment. While not credited, Steve Albini produced the band’s sophomore effort (note, the liner notes read “[p]roduced with eyes closed by Laura, who sat in the right chair.”). It was recorded April 21-23, 1991 and later released on the venerable Matador label. Listen.

Downloadable: Skip Steps 1 & 3 (merge mp3)

This is a straight remaster, no special bonus discs of some tape that fell behind Mac’s bookshelf or anything (though if you want something like that maybe you should check out the Clambakes).

You can purchase the reissue direct from Merge in a variety of formats… here.

For more 90’s nostalgia with Superchunk, head over to Captain’s Dead for a soundboard recording from 1997 (the Precision Auto finale is killer).
