Yeasayer - “Ambling Alp” Memory Tapes Remix (mp3)

Dayve Hawk’s inventive musical brain trust, Memory Tapes, remixes Yeasayer’s new song “Ambling Alp” off their upcoming record, ODD BLOOD. The glo-fi engineer carves ornate sonic shapes into “Ambling Alp”, making the refrain all the more urgent.

New MP3s from the Bodies Obtained

The Bodies Obtained have released three MP3s from their latest album,Dead Plans. These tracks offer a lot of sound and not very much song, but there is something curious about the sparse sonic landscape this Detroit band creates.

The Fiery Furnaces - “Keep Me in the Dark (Eleanor Friedberger version)” (MP3)

This version of “Keep Me in the Dark” is from Take Me Round Again, a digital-only re-imagining of the Furnaces’ excellent I’m Going Away, based at least in part on fan descriptions of the album before it came out. This alternative universe album is out right now on Thrill Jockey.

Will Stratton - “Your California Sky” and “Who Will” (MP3)

Will Stratton is in the habit of releasing music for free, so it comes as no surprise that he’s giving away a couple from his new album, No Wonder. The lyrics aren’t anything special, with nary an inspired image between the two songs, the kind of interchangeable ruminations that do nothing to distinguish him from any number of other songwriters, but they are inoffensive and pleasant enough, and the heavy bow of dissonance in “Your California Sky” gets him a pass.
