Mp3 Shakedown: 6/21

Here are some songs that were floating around in our inbox:

Kevin Drew's Spirit If is the first in a series of "Broken Social Scene Presents" releases that should be surfacing soon. This solo effort deconstructs Broken Social Scene's elaborate, musical web back to one of it's key sources (side note: co-founder Brendan Canning is next on the list for a solo album). "Tbtf" gives us the first taste of the LP, and it's hard not to love the hushed melodies and cascade of instruments. The title is quickly explained in the chorus, and left me with an ironic smirk.

The Canadian love continues with They Shoot Horses Don't They?, an 8-piece from Vancouver with humor, heart and h-awesomeness. Taken from a page of the Frog Eyes bible, ...Horses yelp and wail through a pulsing keyboard and drum assault.

[mp3] They Shoot Horses Don't They? - A Place Called LA





Panda Bear debuted a new tune called "Daily Routine" at his New York show on Monday. Noah keeps the sampling alive, bookending the song with a frantic, high frequency synth loop, and leaving the tasty center for some beautiful vocal wanderings. Grab the rest of the show here.

Speaking of Broken Social Scene, we saw Feist with your pals Grizzly Bear the other night here in Chicago at the Vic.

Wunderbar!
