Lifetones – For a Reason

A lot of music that sounds like “chillwave” was made before the term’s inception.  This kind of sounds like a cross between UB40 and some post-punk band.

panda bear – “tomboy”

***Reposted 7/13/2010

I guess Panda Bear has finally ended his sabbatical from the guitar. Tomboy, the single from his upcoming LP of the same name, seems to be a combination of several elements of PB’s career. First, we see elements of the almost tribal fury we were left with on I Think I Can from Animal Collective’s Fall Be Kind EP. Second, we see Panda Bear’s impeccable ear for sampling intact from his last LP, Person Pitch. Third, we see his aforementioned return of the use of guitar in his solo outings. All and all, Tomboy is probably my most anticipated album of the year when it drops in September.

neon indian – “sleep paralysist”

Sleep Paralysist is probably my favorite Neon Indian song and it isn’t even off his debut album. You have to jump through a few hoops, but you can download it FO FREE from here, courtesy of Mountain Dew. I suppose Mountain Dew is the acid-trip of the soft-drinks, so this cross-promotion is semi-logical.

teen daze – “saviour”

Well, I found a new genre I’ve popped some audatory wood for. Goodbye Guys-With-Synths-That-Sing-Like-Girls, hello chillwave!

niva – “ghost in my head”

Paraphrased from Kyle King, upon him hearing this song:  “If someone was introduced to our group of friends all at once, that person would think that you [Jake] do the most psychedelics.”
