• Thurston Moore – “Mina Loy”

    Just bought the new Thurston Moore vinyl Demolished Thoughts, a beautiful solo record by the the Sonic Youth guitarist, produced by Beck. But really, it’s unfair to construe the birth of the record as a standard artist/producer encounter. These are two great artists melding minds with phenomenal results that...
  • Neon Marshmallow Fest Preview

      Neon Marshmallow is upon us! The Chicago experimental music festival returns for its second summer, promising a mix of drone and buzz that will startle and compel. This year’s edition takes place Friday June 10th through Sunday June 12th, and continues Neon Marshmallow’s penchant for juxtaposing accessible, “low...
  • Ford & Lopatin – Too Much MIDI (Please Forgive Me)

    Ford & Lopatin (this band used to be called GAMES, but they had to change it for legal reasons….how the fuck do you copyright a word/name as generic as ‘GAMES’? Copyright law is getting way out of control in this country) bring the sexy back with their song "Too...
  • Wampire – “Hyphy Shred”

    Whatever happened to hyphy? That shit was so hot for a while, then you started to not hear much about it. If anyone can bring back the hyphy, though, it’s the Portland-based Wampire, my total jam lately. A seductive mix of electronic and live instruments wrapped up into go-for-the-gullet...
  • Ha Ha Tonka – “Usual Suspects”

    Country music really isn’t our wheelhouse here at MMM-MMMP3s. But I’m calling a spade, a spade. I like this track from the "Ozarks-influenced" Ha Ha Tonka. It’s southern-fried, straight-driving country with a refrain that smacks you in the face with all the subtlety of a Mack truck. But since...
  • Jeffrey Jerusalem – “This Week”

    The west coast based electronic artist Jeffrey Jerusalem mixes a Mystery Roar sense of style with sticky dance hall beats on the latest 7" titled This Week. We’ve got the title track, plus both B-sides, streaming below. Listen for the helium-drenched lyrics, the Depeche Mode flavor, and synthetic washes...
  • De Bonton – Grab Bag

    While digging up the latest vinyl release from Gobble Gobble, I stumbled across the terrific French indie label De Bonton. Based in Paris, the label serves up the latest in contemporary indie electronic pop with a heavy club flavor. Gooey, sticky beats with an incorrigible accent and hot-rodded flair...
  • Darmstadt Institute - Selections

    Darmstadt Institute – Selections

    I recently ran across this compilation of artists via Free Music Archive via Issue Project via Darmstadt Institute via Who Knows Where? It’s a motley crew of ultra contemporary music composers that gives you the break from 4/4 time that you so richly deserve. Have a listen over a...
  • Witch Gardens – “Fiesta Texas”

    Here’s another lo-fi gem, Witch Gardens, from Wonder Beard Tapes. Imagine Quilt mixed with Vivian Girls mixed wiith Bangles. "Fiesta Texas" is a straight-shooting, strummy garage number while "Softball Chick" harks back to old-school riot grrrl themes with a celebration of love, life, and ladies who play softball. The...
