I can't tell if this song is referencing drugs, sex, all of the above, or none of the above.

Virgins new two-track singles disc Venus In Chains just released at the end of May. I wish they would come out with more stuff already! They remind me a lot of a 2000's new wave/Talking Heads, which ovis im super down for. 

Also listen to "Slave to You"--other track on disc.  Hint: Album cover isn't so blurry in person.

Seattle's Night Beats have psychedelic-soul garage sound that I don't find enough of around the city. Lee Blackwell's (Lead Guit & vocals) roots are from Dallas, Texas, and his sound goes all the way back to the roots of r&b--two things I totally love.

Stream the rest of their EP H-Bomb. Night Beats is on the road right now and will be in Brooklyn @Knitting Factory August 6!!!

Glacier Music......literally, instruments carved from glaciers

In 2006, Norwegian musician, composer and percussionist Terje Isungset founded the world's first ice music festival complete with harps, guitars, drums, and fiddles, just to name a few, carved from 600-year-old glacial ice. 

“The instruments are made from top quality ice. It must be free of any air bubbles. The instruments are carved using saws and knives. So far these instruments have been created and recorded: Iceofon, Ice Harp, Ice Horn, Ice trumpet, Ice percussion, Ice bass drum carved from one block of ice. In addition, all stands, supports and tables are also made from ice. Only the bass drum pedal, fish line for suspension, and the strings on the Ice Harp are made from materials other than pure frozen water.” - Isungset

Acceptable version of "Call Me Maybe." And an even more acceptable video.

Port St. Willow - Amawalk

When Nick Principe opens his mouth to sing, a slow fog spills out and covers the land with mist. It’s morning, you’re watching it swirl between the pines, filling your lungs.

Do not hesitate to go vibe out to his brand new record Holiday LP available now on his Bndcmp. Gorgeous stuff.

"Oblivion" -Grimes

[beatstreetrepeat-blog]

If you're a long-time follower, you'll know that Marc Bianchi is one of my favorite musicians of all time. He may be small-scale, but he's kindof a genius. This whole album Let's Get Quiet (Vol 1&2) is super cooky, perfect for when you just wanna zone out to some weird instrumental textures.

"Mind Control" -Friends 

I've been going through an old-school funk phase, and when I listened "Mind Control" I was so pleasantly surprised to hear some modern psychedelic funk. Ya, they've got the dance-punk/indie-pop thing goin' for them, but this track is PHUNKYY.

I've been unintentionally jammin on this group everytime I run across them, and I intend to intentionally see them at Bowery Ballroom on July 7 (this will be a dip back to the U.S. during their international tour, pretty impressive for a group that just started making waves last year).
