New track from ZAZA - "Distance Creator"

It's been a couple of years since ZAZA released its blistering debut EP Cameo.  Now comes a new track and a new sound.  The thundering drums have been replaced by a more electronic sound.  Maybe this is a grower.

Music For Headphones - Life In Mono

Mixing the heady sounds of 60's psychedelia and vintage Krautrock, Life in Mono keeps that motorik pulse of driving The Autobaun.  OK it's not exactly Kraftwerk but this is a fun little album.

Listen on their bandcamp page.

Heavy Ghost - Ten Thousand Years EP

Every year hundreds of releases fall through the cracks.  This feels like one of them and it's really a shame.  A very early 90's almost Manchester sound.  Listen and name your price on their bandcamp page.

Young Prisms and their dreamy fuzz

San Francisco's Young Prisms create a sound not unlike early JAMC with swirling guitars and pretty melodies.  Who around here is not a sucker for that.  I'm sold on this one. The Album Friends For Now is out now on Kanine. (MP3 via Pitchfork)

The Raveonettes new song "Forget That You're Young"

The Raveonettes seem to be cranking out the albums every year now.  Which is fine when it's the quality of "Forget That You're Young", the first "single?" from Raven In The Grave.  The duo are calling the new album "the perfect winter soundtrack". (via tympanogram.com)

Com Truise - Cyanide Sisters Reissue

This is fun for some serious beats and 80's synth nostalgia.  Kind of a Blade Runner meets Chillwave thing going on here.  Hear more artists getting the Com Truise treatment here.

Space Is Only Noise

Pitchfork gave a smashing review to Nicolas Jarr's spaced-out futuristic electro pop album Space Is Only Noise.  Hot and Heavy worthy for certain.
