New Explosions in the Sky: Trembling Hands

MP3: Explosions in the Sky - Trembling Hands

I was just thinking about when the last Explosions in the Sky album came out and where I was in the world. That was a long fucking time ago, dudes!

"Trembling Hands" is the first single from "Take Care, Take Care, Take Care", their new one out April 26th from the lately underrated Temporary Residence. Right out the gate it's upbeat, which is kinda nuts. Anyway, IT'S GREAT! Why don't I listen to instrumental bliss more often? I'm always really happy when I do.

The album cover for this kinda sucks though. Anyway, I've provided a download for the song, but I don't think it's the best quality. A hi-res Soundcloud stream has been included and when I can find a better sounding file, I'll replace this one and erase this text. Word? Word.

Deeped.

MP3: Grails - Deep Politics

Running on few hours sleep, I'm totally feeling a drone Friday. Matthew kicked things off with a track from the very, very great new Earth record and I'm going to keep that Pacific Northwest style rolling with a new song from Portland, Oregon's Grails.

Grails are a band that have been recording amazing albums for years and deserve so much more credit and attention. Losing a member to OM, the band was forced to redefine themselves into a different force of evil and "Deep Politics" is that evil.

Here is the video for the title track (mp3 is above) and for another killer LP track called "Daughters of Bilitis", and they're both awesome. Like the album, which is out March 8th on Temporary Residence.

MP3: The Black Heart Procession - Forget My Heart

Alright, alright, alright. Let's have ourselves a killer weekend this weekend. I am going to leave you with a song from the Black Heart Procession's new album "Six", which comes out Tuesday on Temporary Residence. It's as dark as ever, but clearly these dudes haven't missed a step. I like all of their albums, but this new one is pressing fresh, exciting buttons. I love those buttons. I would sew those buttons on my favourite coat. Favourite coat rock, that's what you're getting here. Seriously though, I could have posted any fucking track from this masterpiece, but I went with my gut at the time. But my gut is only getting fatter and changes every day, so like get this record and decide for yourself if you don't like this song (but just know, you're bat shit crazy...seek help). Enjoy, party gently. See you Monday (unless something cool and pressing comes up before then)! WOOO!!
