Slam Donahue, ‘I Turn On’ [Download]
This Brooklyn pop trio surely will earn plenty of MGMT comparisons with this proggy number full of grand gestures and turn-on-a-dime dynamics, which surely succeeds in its implicit goal: to get people on the dance floor.
I See Hawks In L.A., ‘Spirit of Death’ [Download]
Is it rare to spot hawks in City of Angels? Or rarer still to find a country rock band that can churn out gorgeous gems like this one, which manages to live up to its name?
Fang Island, ‘Sisterly’ [Download]
Providence’s Fang Island should be on the radio with this relentless, riff-heavy clarion call of a rock jam that hits like a tidal wave.
Russian Circles, ‘Mladek’ [Download]
This track from the Chicago instrumental post-punk trio’s 2011 release ‘Empros’ meshes ambient atmospherics, math-rock precision and manic metal into nearly eight minutes of epic mind melt.
Marriages, ‘Ride in My Place’ [Download]
This Red Sparrowes offshoot (featuring all members of the band) sounds like it’s making things up on the spot — in a good way. Think Bardo Pond lamming with Queens of the Stone Age after popping a couple Xanax and you’re halfway there.
