Flashlights - “Slow Down (Brothertiger Remix)”

A sweet remix to tide us all over while we wait impatiently for Brothertiger’s full length, ‘Golden Years’, to come out in late March. Something tells me it will be worth the wait.

GPSY MTH - “Easter Island”

GPSY MTH have an awesome sound. It kind of reminds me of Memory Tapes. You can stream their new album ‘Ripostes’ or buy it for $2 on Bandcamp.

Dose - Hold You In

Got this recommendation in my inbox from Wade. Definitely some excellent sample-based chillwave tunes, and the album ‘When We Were High’ is FREE (for now) on Bandcamp.

Teen Daze - Brooklyn Sunburn

The first single from Teen Daze’s upcoming debut full length LP was released on Monday. I love the evolution of Jamison’s sound. Can’t wait to see how “All Of Us, Together” compares to “Four More Years,” which was my favorite EP of 2010.

NanosauR - Heem

Guess who’s back? No, not this blog. Okay, yes, also this blog. But more importantly, NANOSAUR is back!

The new album is full of sweet, sweet beats. Unfortunately, there are a lot more instrumental tracks this time around (what can I say? I love the dude’s voice!) but the album is HOT, and there are still a handful of tracks that Mike sings on.

If you’re lucky you can still grab a free download at Nanosaur’s Bandcamp. Better hurry up, dudes.

Giraffage - “Polar Bear”

Go and buy (name your own price) Giraffage’s new album, ‘Comfort’ on Bandcamp. Every track is a hit. “Waste Yr Time” even got a slight re-work for the proper release. Don’t sleep on this one!

Washed Out - “Call It Off”

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Things always seem to get hectic in November. Anyway, let me make it up to you (actually, let Ernest Greene make it up to you) by posting a brand new Washed Out track. This one is from the Amor Fati 12”. You can pre-order it at the Domino Records store.

ON THE 88 - “Canción para La Llorona”

For a while I was genuinely worried that nobody was gonna come through with a Halloween submission this year. But Drew of On The 88 has risen to the task and provided this spooky track with an awesomely horrific video to accompany it.

Hey guys. If you’ve been following for a while you know that Nanosaur is a friend of the blog, mainly because he creates sick chillwave songs and has the talent to recreate his tunes in a live setting, which is not an easy task.

So click the link above and (listen to and) vote for his track “Cntrl Alt Del” and you can help him win a chance to perform at the BAMM.tv studios in San Francisco.
