Annuals

Arguably (just by me) the best band indie-pop band to come out in the last decade, Annuals, release their first album in nearly 5 years.

Pick up their album "Time Stamp" on Bandcamp for a small fee of 8 bucks.
Of course, you can download it for free like every other music junky on the planet.
But be aware that the band went broke making this album.
How about we give them some money back for what they've given to us.
Just sayin', You will not be disappointed.

The Postal Service

in 2012, Pitchfork did an interview with Ben Gibbard.
He told tales of his latest album with his band Death Cab For Cutie and had a brief discussion about his solo record. Sure, people were interested. But what should have been the main topic of conversation is his love for slow pulsing electronica music.

Back in '03 Gibbard teamed up with acclaimed electronic producer DNTEL.
They later formed one of the most influential bands of the decade.
The Postal Service.

What people don't realize about the album is that no matter how brightly polished, it was an album about loneliness.
It would seem that Gibbard was going through a rough patch in his life. A patch that apparently could only be filled by the crisp clasp of an E-drum and a twinkling synth.

Now, in 2013, the age of bumping fists and slutty clothes, The Postal Service announce their return to give the world some much needed closure.
Fans can rest easily knowing that Gibbard doesnt plan on stepping out of the spotlight anytime soon,
but he has concluded that there will be no new album to follow their long list of tour dates.

And as much as I would love to see The Postal Service in a small and cramped venue in which their sound is best consumed, I know that it's nearly impossible to get that lucky.

The Postal Service

Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) has said that he refuses to make a new Postal Service album.
He claims that electronic-indie music is not where his head is at.

Well, as an avid fan of Postal Service
I must say,
F#ck you!!

....Eh its time for a re-listen anyway

Ch!nch!lla

LIYL: Postal Service, Ratatat, and Flaming Lips

Lets just get this out of the way..
Ch!nch!lla, is destined for BIG things.

On to their first EP, everything is chewed up for easy consumption. 

Like the bird and the worm.

But the music we hear before us, is more then just jumbled notes and variations.
Its more than a wrap-it-up album.

Its everything the artist ever digested and kept close.
It's everything the artist believes or once believed in.

Stripped of any kind of uniform, Ch!nch!lla reveals themselves as one big ball of potential energy. 

 Every sound
-organic in itself-
comes forcibly together to create something new. 
Something more extraordinary and eventful.
Something that has no plan to stop growing. 

However, there is a thin layer of darkness slowly widening its boarders as the album progresses. 
But thats what sets you back into your chair.
It's what keeps you active and interested.

Quiet chants like "Im not afraid of dying",
over a faint synth,
pounding bass and glitchy electronica. 

Just take the time out of the day and soon enough that head-bob that you cant seem to drop,
will slowly morph into something greater.
Something more powerful than words can explain.
In this case, and in most cases when referring to Ch!nch!lla, 
we are talking about a fu#kin' rage!

Pop Etc.

They used to be "The Morning Benders"
Its as if they changed their entire outlook on life.
Fuzzy synth, and elaborate electro dance funk.
That is all..
