Song of the Day - Olee-Wah

Jerkagram - Olee-Wah from Let's Talk About Us (2014)

I'm having a hard time putting my finger on what exactly Jerkagram sound like without making it sound like something else, because,well, it's really not like something else. Very heavy on the groove, almost prog like, but also a bit math-y and psychedelic.

Song of the Day - Prayers

Pill Friends - Prayers from 420 Love Songs (second 40) (2013)

This little number comes from a compilation of love songs mostly by the people associated with Teen Suicide, Julia Brown, Infinity Crush, and Ricky Eat Acid. It's actually the second compilation of 40 songs compiled for this project so far and there's a lot more to come.

You can check out all the tracks and a little write up about them on the 420 Love Songs tumblr.


The tagline to this project is: "it's like Magnetic Fields but not as good".

I'd say it's just a lot more lo-fi.

Song of the Day - Tobacco's Accidental Crash With The Girl From Sisela

Tobacco - Tobacco's Accidental Crash With The Girl From Sisela from Don't Deny Your Weakness (2000)

Here's a little find I uncovered the other night from the German Tobacco, not to be confused with Tom Fec's Black Moth Super Rainbow solo/side project of the same name.

I'd explain the song but there's a voice in the beginning that does it for me.
