That Ghost

I really can't remember when exactly "Never Have Fun" found its way on to my iPod, but I remember it being on a mix that didn't leave my car's CD player for several months. For whatever reason, I was never really interested in finding anything else by the artist (in other words I didn't know what Hype Machine was) so That Ghost was a complete mystery to me. Obviously, when you only have one or two songs from an artist its kind easy to forget about them. Fortunately, That Ghost re-entered my consciousness with the announcement of "Songs Out Here" about a month ago after a shamefully long break. If you're new to That Ghost grab the album's first two singles along with Never Have Fun.

Fifth Dimension (ATHID mixtape)

Fifth Dimension

1. Teen Angel - Heavy Hawaii
2. Fifth Dimension - The Jameses
3. Sexual Angel - Golden Axe (Ft Princess Chelsea)
4. I Want Your Damage - Nice Face
5. I Know - Ela Orleans
6. Crazy Rulers of the World - Surf City
7. MUTANT - Wavves
8. Birthday Party - Unoumedude
9. Small Victories - Swimming Trunks
10. Howolding Girls - Birthdays
11. In Your Room - Ghost Animal (Golden Axe Remix)
12. Blue Heron - Little Jungles

The original name for the mixtape was "Mickey Mouse" but I ended up cutting the Wavves track of the same name. Up until about 20 minutes ago I was going to keep the name, but I decided Fifth Dimension fit much better with the overall feel, not to mention the radical collage by Jheri Evans.

AntiMagic - Shake Shake Shake/ Inner Most Shogun Heart

Percussion heavy. Oppressive. Trance inducing. Whats not to love about Brooklyn duo Antimagic? The Shake Shake Shake single was released back in December and it was the first I heard of the band. I've been jamming to their 2009 debut "Trash Symmetry" ever since. Check out the single and my favorite cut off of Trash Symmetry below.

Mind Spiders - Don't Let Her Go/No Romance

I think these guys might miss Jay Reatard more than I do. Don't Let Her Go premiered today on Weekly Tape Deck, and No Romance is being hosted courtesy of their label Dirtnap. If your Tuesday started off as sluggish as mine did, then these tracks will help. If you're expecting your whole week to be dreary (like I am) do yourself a favor and grab their whole LP (here or on iTunes) while you're at it.

No Romance - Mind Spiders

Don't Let Her Go - Mind Spiders

Yohuna - Mateo

You're definitely going to want to check this one out. Yahuna is sort of like a hybrid between Adelyn Rose and HTDW, or maybe a cavernous Moon Lasso. Anyway you want to look at it, Mateo's lo-fi production turn the song into something massive. Yohuna's debut EP "Revery" is out Tuesday, but Mateo is already available on her bandcamp.

Shout Out to Grrrizzly for this!

Kite Collision (Orange Blossom Flyover + Heirloom)

Kite Collision was the short-lived musical project between Ryan Scally and Matt Billington. After starting with some appropriately catchy shoegaze/pop the two decided to move on with their respective solo projects, Orange Blossom Flyover and Heirloom. Both Solo projects are more casual and less radio-friendly, but when has that ever been a bad thing? I've been sitting on these tracks for a while because I haven't been quite able to articulate why I like them so much. Instead of trying to write something overly articulate I'll just post one song from each project and let you listen if you're curious. Enjoy

Hips Like Cinderella - All The Girls I Know All of Them EP

Well Shoot this is good! Just stumbled upon this gem on Get Off The Coast. Yes their name is a Pixies reference, and no its not that hard to find in their sound. If you're into Dead Gaze or early Wavves you'll definitely dig this. If you've never heard of Dead Gaze or Wavves I'll just give you this warning: While listening to this EP for the first time my roommate turned on the vacuum cleaner in the other room, and it took me about 45 seconds to realize it wasn't part of the song.

Slow Animal

Pretty cool 4 song Demo from lo-fi punkers Slow Animal. Reminds me of pre-studio Wavves, but with less complaining and a little more focus on melody. Sanity (track 3) is the track got me interested, but Dolt Heart (track 4) is now my favorite on here.
