Awesome, thanks for sharing Corban. "Breakers" was excellent, curious to hear the rest. Saw them debut a few new track lasts Dec in Seattle (http://apesontape.com/local-natives-debut-songs-from-new-album/). One was apparently titled "49 Palms" (not on the "Hummingbird" tracklist) and another that was unnamed at the time. Will have to see if the latter matches with these...
Michael, what are you two or three favorite songs of the year?
Very interesting to look back at the range of trajectories for all the early 00's garage rock bands. From White Stripes non-existence to the Hives still just shreddin' it after two decades to, well, this...
Lonersim, definitely my personal AOTY (http://apesontape.com/album-review-tame-impala-lonerism/). Feel like detractors are writing it off for including musical elements that *gasp* other humans have used before. That never happens though. Anyhow, will give this puppy a spin so I know what I'm missing!
Album isn't actually out til next week (10/9) on Modular. But easily one of my favorite albums of the year.
not to jump on the self-promo train, but our band covered "i got mine" and I feel like the stereogummers would dig it. http://soundcloud.com/jacen-magnolia/i-got-mine "nice story, bro"
This is odd to see, because Das Racist's press release stated Talib Kweli was one of their "least favorite rappers". ie: http://do512.com/c/sx2012/bands/das-racist. Anyhow, guess they changed their minds.
Love the band, very informative article with their drummer Jacob Hyman here http://tinyurl.com/4cc6csa
