Still going strong two weeks into our programming on, the great, Indie-Verse radio and we’ve got another nice lineup of tunes. We’ve got the local scene covered with some tracks from Fergus & Geronimo and The Uptown Bums. Also, my new collective friends from Oxford, MS, Cats Purring, have their fair share of play time. [...]

Artist:
Today we at Weekly Tape Deck will be straddling the long road to Austin, TX in search of fun, booze and of course music; all signs lead to Funfunfunfest. FFFfest has become the intermediary between SXSW and the lineup this year proves to be their best so far. You can bet we will be taking [...]

big troubles//freudian slips
-
Artist:Big Troubles
Big Troubles calls New Jersey home– and that kind of makes sense. For a band that derives a hell-of-a-lot of influence from modern Swedish shoegaze bands Radio Dept. and Mary Onettes; you kind of have to be from somewhere cold–static, snow, sleet and distortion. Okay so maybe Sweden to the Garden State is a bit [...]

Artist:Marie Landau

Track:If I needed You
Dana Jewell just sent over this heartbreaking Townes Van Zandt cover of “If I Needed You” by Marie Landau. Unfortunately, it seems that Mr. Jewell has ended his recording career and has converted his myspace to hers. Regardless, there are still magical things happening in the Wild Animal Kingdom.Marie Landau – If I Needed YouComplimentary:Dana [...]

boneless// breathless

Artist:Boneless

Track:Breathless
Nevada’s Boneless has already been making some choice rotations, and has just set me up with his latest recordings. The right pair of headphones, and “Breathless” can turn you completely catatonic. Like many of the DIY bedroom dreams, a world of infinite loops with faint and distant vocals is created. In come the comparisons to [...]

the sandwitches//how to make ambient sadcake
(artwork via jason faulkner)First heard of The Sandwitches in this choice post, then out of nowhere I find their latest LP, How To Make Ambient Sadcake, magically appear in my mailbox. This trio from the Bay Area has some ridiculously catchy tunes and their album is a mishmash of different styles ranging from blues, folk [...]

animal tropical//waterbed city
-
Artist:Animal Tropical
-
Track:Waterbed City
Animal Tropical conveniently holds a description of their music in their name; Animal and Tropical. Tropical should be obvious upon turning on the music; seeing that the band is from Miami probably has something to do with it, there are some Hispanic/Cubano vibes in there. Animal as in Animal Collective, a band which it seems [...]

Artist:Video
Complete disregard for “safe” listening levels and a stage presence worthy of starting riots, we are more than pleased to have VIDEO on the bill for the upcoming show at RGRS in Denton on Nov. 9th. Harpal just sent over 2 tracks, “Bookstore” being new and set to feature on Play Pinball Records‘ Denton Denton [...]

small black//kings of animals
Already owning a monopoly on the most rad 7″s, Transparent widens eyes once again with the announcement of their release of Brooklyn’s Small Black. The pop-y “Kings of Animals” is the flip side to the also amazing “Despicable Dogs” (which can be streamed here). Limited to only 300 copies internationally, these gems can be purchased [...]

assassins 88//girls girls girls

Artist:Assassins 88
-
Track:girls girls girls
Not to be confused with the Jay-Z joint from 2001, or the Mötley Crüe song from’87, its not even a cover of the Liz Phair song from her legendary album; this Girls Girls Girls is from Assassins 88 who hail from Oz (Australia for you laymen). This duo makes thrashy and often abrasive lo-fi tunes [...]

Artist:Woodsman

Track:Dikembe Mutombo
If, like me, you’ve been waiting around for some new Woodsman tunes, I’ve just got word that Collages is now up for digital download at Mexican Summer. Vinyl not quite ready yet, give it a month. They’ve also sent over “Dikembe Mutombo”, which is a big step aside from their usual more tranquil tunes . [...]

Track:Codeine
Tap Tap has a majestic quality about their music; toe tapping, hip swaying majesty. Back in 2006 they put out the acclaimed Lanzafame on Stolen Recordings and now they are back three years later with a their new record On My Way. This band is from across the pond and though it might be some [...]

Artist:Weighted Pines

Track:Twentyfive
Weighted Pines is the new project from Braden J. McKenna of arrid SLC, Utah. Though I had not heard of McKenna before he apparently has multiple projects and each with a different sound. Weighted Pines new eponymous debut is a slow-tempo folk-pop usually with songs around 1 minute in length in a style very similar [...]

velvet davenport//get out
-
Artist:Velvet Davenport
-
Track:Get Out
Our previously loved psychedelic friends, Velvet Davenport have just sent over their newest slice of 60’s infused pop. On their recent LA vacay they met up with like minded nostalgists Ariel Pink and Gary War, the resulting “Get Out” is an acid flashback into a more liberal state of mind. This will be [...]

neon tongues//big kid

Artist:Neon Tongues
-
Track:Big Kid
These new guys out of Cleveland, Neon Tongues, are going to be the reason for yet another lo-fi sub-genre (no worries, I’m not gonna be “that guy” and try to name it). This might have very well been recorded on one of those Home Alone talkboys, but I’ve always been a sucker for raw [...]

Track:a Building
New recording project from Canadian label Fixture Records just sent over a few tunes. The mainstay formed by Tessa Smith and Connor Pendergrast who are also joined by Gabriel Ng (Cresting) and Andrew Forsythe, Brave Radar’s ‘idiosyncratic pop’ is dark yet uplifting. Their latest release, A Building, is available in CD form in a folding [...]

visions of trees//sixteen bells
Another track from some of our spaced out friends, Visions of Trees. “Sixteen Bells” is actually an offering from Mental Monkey Records Secret Mixtape. Not only is the track up for free download, but they write up a bit of background info (even making comparisons to Cocteau Twins). So, stream it here. Download it here.

Track:Flowers
Honestly, I haven’t been sleeping on this–although some serious ears have already caught on. Already in good company with Vancouver based Sweet Rot Records, Flight’s psych-noise is thick enough to give graveyards worldwide that trademark fog that only seems to be real in movies. Haunting vocal effects and a buzzsaw guitar worthy of severing limbs, [...]
