SLEEP

This is my favorite sleep post I've ever done. Just sayin'. +++
Money (Beat Connection Remix) - The Drums My favorite song at the moment. What do you get when four rad dudes from Brooklyn come together in 2006 to form an indie-pop group? The Drums. You've probably heard their track, "Best Friend." I first heard it because my best friend dedicated it to me since the lyrics go like this: "you were my best friend, and then you died." ...Fucking bitch.



Against The Bottom - Grieves Because sometimes... white guys rapping sounds pretty good. Now based in Seattle, this dude from Chicago has performed at the Vans Warped Tour among others. He has his roots in jazz/blues but stays fresh by coalescing them with punk and hip-hop elements so you can chill out while he stays street. 

Brothers  - Jon Zott This is straight brilliance. He's from Detroit, he's based in Brooklyn, and his influence is high fructose corn syrup. What a guy, right? This track is a bunch of eargasmic sounds tossed in an ancient ceramic bowl and shaken by Zeus and the rest of 'em gods. Do it to it.



Bee Nose - Pink Skull I don't know about you but I instantly feel like the coolest person in the room when I jam to this. What the fuck is being humble about? (Yeah, that's a Domo Genesis quote.) It's like house music and electronic hip-hop and a ton of other shit you can't put your finger on. I always assumed Pink Skull was European but nah, they're from Philly. 


Sun Fran To Tokyo - King Most I feel like this is from another era. But it's not-- but it should be. It's just pretty. I mean, I still think it's aesthetically pleasing because I've convinced myself I can see the notes. Speaking of LSD (implicitly), I was reading this book which you should buy, and there's a section in there about a guy who was on acid for a whole year and it's totally worth the money.


The Surf - Lotus Behold, a carefully crafted array of instrumentals, soothing male vocals, and even more soothing guitar chords. Yeah whatever just get high and fall asleep to this.


Far Nearer (Snatch & Swindler Bootleg) - Jamie XX This is from our Dropbox. It's a nice twist on Jamie XX. The dude's from Sydney, Australia; check out his Soundcloud.


Solitude Is Bliss (Time & Space Machine Remix) - Tame Impala This obviously sounds a lot like "Lucidity" by the same psychedelic rock band, but the remix especially makes all the difference. I like the vocals 'cus they sound like The Beatles, and instantly conjure the long-imagined visual the girl with kaleidoscope eyes, and of cellophane flowers of yellow and green, towering over my head as I fall into golden slumbers.


Re-post: Hours - Tycho I posted this like 10 days ago but if you didn't get it the first time, get to it, son.

And from our DROPBOX, here's a track by an 18 year-old from Melbourne, Australia just starting out producing music. Check out his Soundcloud.
