Two Tracks and a Video from Jeans Wilder: Sparkler / Blanket Mountain

This electronic-flavored indie music is straight Pitchfork bait, no?

“Though he might look like a “tough guy”, Andrew Caddick (aka Jeans Wilder) is really a sensitive boy. For two years now, this former associate of Nathan Williams (Wavves) in the group Fantastic Magic, has delivered tapes and vinyls (including the split-7″s with Best Coast & Jean Paul) with a collection of tracks haunted by summer.

During these two years he has also written, recorded and fictionalized this first album: Nice Trash. Pop melancholy for ghost flirts. Ten intoxicating tracks able to captivate the waves. And the memories of that day spent with you.

A new collaboration/friendship between La Station radar and Atelier Ciseaux.”

This is credited to The xx but I think this was actually a Florence + the Machine track originally, no?

New Music: The Caribbean – Mr. Let’s Find Out

I normally reserve Sundays for jazz, funk, rare-groove, reggae and other such soulful cool-out vibes but one listen to this indie-flavored joint from The Caribbean’s forthcoming Discontinued Perfume album dropping February of next year and it’s clear this fits the bill. Click play and enjoy…

New Music: The Hush Now – On Holiday

This one was an unexpected but pleasant surprise…

“With the holidays sneaking up, The Hush Now is in the giving spirit. The Boston gents dropped a free holiday single before the Thanksgiving break, aptly titled “On Holiday.”

The track boasts a swinging Jobim-esque groove supported by a horn section that will have you hooked after the first listen. The choruses open to a gallop, with soaring vocals longing for a paradise far away from the usual holiday trappings. A place where you can drink, ‘martinis in the sun,’ and ‘Ho Ho Ho and Rum tum tum.‘”
