Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr - Morning Thought

I have sort of conflicting emotions on this track. Its always amazing to active follow musicians as they grow and mature in their sound. At the same time, one of my favorite things about Dale Jr Jr on their Horsepower EP was the sophomoric shaggy charm. I'm not saying that charm is entirely gone on Morning Thought, but overall the effort is definitely more focused. Either way I'm still excited for the duo's soon to be released LP "It's a Corporate World"

Dom - Burn Bridges Acoustic

Pretty chill vibes on this one bro.

Party on Slurms. Party on.

SPRING BREAK OVERLOAD

Despite pretty unfortunate timing (uhh missing SXSW by a week) I've had an incredible Spring Break! I'm sad to see it go, but getting back into regular posting is a neat consolation prize I guess. As awesome as Spring Break was, I missed so much music worth posting. Here's A TON of stuff I missed this week that I promise is all very much worth your time.

• Des A Boda's released their debut EP from Teen Daze's Cultus Vibes this week. All 4 tracks are killer but do yourself a favor and check out Ponytail at the very least.
• Fleet Foxes singer Robin Pecknold posted a link to a free EP on twitter that includes a song with Grizzly Bear singer Ed Droste, a cover and third track. The harmonies on the track with Ed Droste are nothing short of angelic, but I've found myself listening to Derwentwater Stones more often.
• God Boat, one third of the probably defunct Totally Nebular released his entirely DIY LP over at his bandcamp. Its got some serious wood nymph vibes on it. Yeah its pretty far out there, but you won't regret checking out.
• Pains of Being Pure at Heart's sophomore album is now streaming on the band's website. Its definitely pleasant, but I'm entirely sure how memorable it will turn out being.
• GOTC's Jheri's cassette label Crash Symbols released its second compilation featuring ATHID favorites Waylon Thorton, Pepepiano, and Foxes in fiction.
• A few days later another awesome blog put out an awesome compilation! This time the site in question was Magicrpm. Coma Cinema, Kitteh Fur and Ghost Animal all contribute songs to the all cover comp.
• Snacky Tunes is a compilation of live tracks from some pretty legit indie artists such as Oberhofer, Suckers and Freelance Whales. I'm not going to lie, I know almost nothing about it, I just saw it on Stereogum and decided it was worth downloading. (I was right)
• Actor/Rapper Donald Glover AKA Childish Gambino released his fourth mixtape on his blog earlier this week. I'm not his biggest fan, but I'm pretty sure Childish Gambino is going to get huge any day now.

Once again, sorry for the music overload, but I hope you'll find a few things you enjoy from this post.

Prepare yourselves for a little more Gobble Gobble in the physical realm. The good folks over at Debonton are releasing a Boring Horror 12" super single. Along with Boring Horror the vinyl includes two previously released Gobble Gobble tunes along with two new remixes.

Since they're all already floating around the internet anyways, I'll include the mp3s in the track listing. Download the mp3s and then buy that wax!! While you're at it make sure to catch Gobble Gobble on tour in a city near you.

His Clancyness - Like a Champ

New track from Ottawa's His Clancyness premiered on Altered Zones earlier this week. Jon Clancy trades in some of his usual billowing dreaminess for something a bit more rocking on the tune. Not to say that its not dreamy though, just not particularly billowy. You'll probably find yourself comparing it to the Shins, and that's never a bad thing.

Like a Champ - His Clancyness

Like a Champ is the B Side for Clancy's "What Fury Can't Say" 7" which you can preorder now from 16 Tambourines

Its whatever

This playlist has been mutating since the beginning of 2011 and to be honest I'm kind of fuzzy on what songs were initially there. I can tell you that some of these songs are by my friends and that three of them (You Don't Surf, Losing It and Plastic Fangs) were added about fifteen minutes ago. More importantly I can tell you that this mixtape sounds exactly how I've been feeling for the past two weeks. Hopefully listening to it will be as soothing for you as making it has been for me.

*I'm pretty sure these four are out of order in the zip. You should fix that!

Low Anthem - Daytrotter Session

February was a pretty busy month for the Low Anthem: they released a new album, kicked off near year long tour and even showed up on David Letterman. The energy doesn't seem to be dying down in March (oops). Check out the Low Anthem's Daytrotter session right now!
