Just like the rest of the world at the moment. Ive been really into RnB and have been loving the comeback its making. This lofi RnB / Funk / Beats takeover comes from a little of all genres. A bookmark in time, Ghost Modernism. The reverby emotion it conveys is right down our alley here. And have been loving all the new acts that have been popping up. These are just a few of the artists i’ve been super excited about. Watch for more posts on these and more artists and possibly a new mix series. Enjoy!
My first notice of this style of music was the RXRY “RxB mixtape he put out for Stadiums & Shrines about a year ago.
Awwwww yeah! Its here! Check out the new highly anticipated Death Grips album “The Money Store” streaming in its entirety on their soundcloud. Which is now up for Pre-order at InSound. Have been waiting on this one for a month now. Somehow this album is even more nuts than their freshman release “Ex-military”. I’ll Just leave it at that and do a proper review on it when it drops. Just listen to it! Preorder it, bump it in your ride. Get cray. Enjoy.
Dont forget to grab this on record store day april 21st! This is a must have for the vinyl collection.
Sophisticated yet primitive, for the distinguished gentleman amazon explorer, enjoy a glass of merlot while you trudge through the swampy meadows of another time with Pit er Pat. Whispering ghostly lyrics as catchy as they are creepy, implant a dark image in your mind, yet hardly casts a shadow on the often light-hearted, loungey jazz sound to accompany them. As their albums may suggest, psychedelic blips, and samples may creep into your conscious ears as you may decide to have it merely on for non-intrusive late night/early morning chill session. For the space cadet in all of us, it’ll please you to hear the aloof, undoubtedly quirky noises of a distant monkey, or bananas. Omen, hardly a premonition to something unpleasant, may still be sombre but indeed captivating, let this tune lull you into another reality.
Buy their albums at Insound if you like what you hear
Shigeto mixed the top artists from the trend setting and industry benchmarking label Ghostly for Mix Mag. The result, bliss, as to be expected. I got chills throughout the whole mix starting as soon as he brought in Mux Mool’s “Ruin Everything” off of his latest release, and not stopping until my favorite track, “Please Stay”, off of Shigeto’s own latest album ended the set. This ones on repeat for most of the day today. I can’t seem to get enough of it. This weeks Bummer Bliss.
I just recently found the label Infinite Machine, and i’m extremely impressed. Bwanawas one of the many artists such as ∆dmin, BRUISES, Runamucker, etc… This is a little preview of his album that per Kudos records will be available Feb 6th. Its out for preorder as of Jan 21st. Bwana is everything I want my future garage to sound like. Will probably miss out on this vinyl though and go for the digital. Vinyl is limited to 300 copies and seems it will go fast. Anyways, Bwana and the whole Infinite Machine roster is this weeks Bummer Bliss. I figure that should make up for the week or 2 I missed. Such an amazing label with some great artists making futuristic heartbeats to the tune of two step. Yeah.. it’s good.

TineZ always brings the heat and does it well. I first heard of him when he sent me a mix that was a warmup for a Rustie. I have since listened to all of his mixes at least more than once. His track selection is impecable and the mixing never sloppy. So I went to check on his soundcloud today to see he posted a 2012 mix! All I have to say is look at that track list.
Through a blue-green glow of halogen headlight electronic fog, the night stars pulse and fade. The air hangs sweet and strange, the cosmik tides rush in a throbbing heartbeat rhythm; lapping at naive feet learning to dance the last rave of a dreaming island’s eternal adolescence. The moon’s reflection is rippling soft like a voice through sharp clockwork fractal waves… radio waves pushing, echoing from fading futures, ghost signals from Moroder’s Metropolis, crackle into being: forgotten/hidden love poems written on digital delay. The key and the engine turn, the last drag burns, and the wheels find the road as our night drives into sunrise. Sea Gown is the stereo soundtrack. This weeks Bummer Bliss. Enjoy.
Peter Densmore, the dude behind SEA GOWN, was visiting friends in his hometown of Carbondale over break and unassumingly left a CDR of a new project he had been working on. After sifting its way through the layers of beer cans and loose records produced by an average weekend it was picked up on a whim and popped into a laptop and thusly revealed as thee proverbial jam, a true joint, a diamond in the rough. The influences can be heard quite clearly (the lessons from Moroder paid in full), and the sound shares ground with Synthpop Statesmen like John Maus and M83, but Sea Gown is unmistakably developing its own zones.
We here at Bummer Bit are as stoked to share it as we are to see where it goes.
Bombay Bicycle Club – ‘Lights Out, Words Gone’ (Rub A Dub version)
This weeks Bummer Blissis a good one for me. Bombay Bicycle Club was the one of the first bands I ever blogged about and with their newest album “A Different Kind Of Fix” they bring back where they left off from their early demo and “I had the Blues But Shook Them Loose” to brilliant indie pop and Jack Steadman’s waverying yet indie pop ready vocals. While their acoustic effort “Flaws” was brilliant and showed another side of BBC, Their new album brought the Indie kiddies into Indie pop greats by bringing back their old popy post punk rock sound. I am more than impressed. I know this is way late in the game and they are large enough to not need free publicity but I’ve been following these kids since they where just a blip on the radar and I’m glad to see they are getting the recognition they finally deserve. They are and will be one of my Top 5 Indie Rock bands. This Bibio Remix is especially chilling and personal as is the “lights out, Words Gone rub a dub” version. These are this weeks Bummer Bliss.
