In our mission to make your blogging a lot easier, this is what you missed on the blogosphere yesterday.

Burial & Massive Attack – Paradise Circus

Well, we can write a long text about this, but this is the point: There was a 1000 copies 12″. It sold out. The first track ‘Four Walls’ was pretty predictable. This song is hauntingly beautiful.

Out Of Vogue – One Say

There are a lot of hardcore bands out there sounding really old-school. That’s because there isn’t much renewal in the hardcore scene. Out Of Vogue is better than that. This is an ode to old-school hardcore. This is an ode to Black Flag and early Refused with musicians who have proven their skills in Abhinanda, Subject to Change, Eyes Shut and The Division Of Laura Lee. And it shows. You can download their EP for a Pay What You Want price at bandcamp.

Teen Mom Birthday Cake – When You Wake Up I’ll Be Gone Little Cat

Now for some soothing ambient acoustic guitars, here’s a new project by Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid). The 3-minute track seems to last hours, which is a good thing. This music needs a film. According to AWD CASTLES a 30+ track release will be out soon, but we can’t find that anywhere. We can’t find any information anywhere, for that matter.

Download or play the song here.

Trophy Scars – Messengers

Once Trophy Scars were a lame post-hardcore band, but their transformation completed last year with ‘Darkness, Oh Hell‘. This year released EP ‘Never Born, Never Dead‘ continues the sound: a bluesy experimental rock sound with a punk heart. Trophy Scars are a unique band in every way. They have just released a new video for their song ‘Messengers’.

Nguzunguzu – Water Bass Power (Timesup Sand Mix)

Just try to pronounce this name. Nguzunguzu. According to Stereogum: “The [new] video for “Water Bass Power (Timesup Sand Mix),” a track from L.A. production duo Nguzunguzu, is a crudely rendered CGI landscape in which waves of desert undulate and various blades spin around.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. This is some experimental bass music bouncing between dubstep, moombahton, techno and pretty much every dance genre you can imagine.

Zs – 33~

Now for the real experimentialists amongst you. Here’s some ambient-esque weirdness we like the most. Hitting the streets since 2003, Zs‘s new 7″ ‘33‘  will be released in November. According to their label: “In the tradition of underground urban abstractions, the music here is quite undefinable. If Mark Rothko were in Tinariwen when ZS were all growing up in DC as high school students in the early nineties, they might have made this record, and opened for Nation of Ulysses. If Ellsworth Kelly had taken up the banjo instead of painting, if Barnet Newman was a gangster rapper, they may have come up with aural musing such as these, but in the end, this music could only come from one group, place and time. “

James Ferraro – Earth Minutes

Some more experimental music, although this has a very clear poppy feel to it. But it’s unique to say the least. Picking sounds from synthesizers, violins, guitars, field recordings, 80′s drums… Ferraro creates something that is his very own. His LP ‘Far Side Visual‘ will be released in about a week on Hippos In Tanks.

Heartless – Late

And let’s end todays listen with some fucking loud hardcore/metal. Heartless‘s debutalbum (which is just 21-minutes long) will be released by Southern Lord next month. The first track can be streamed exclusively on Metalsucks. And we fucking love it.

Listen to the track here.

So there’s that. More stuff to listen to tomorrow. Like any of these artists? Tell our bookers you like them on GetSatisfaction!
