WAVES AT NIGHT

SONG OF THE WEEK

So of late Ive been getting really heavily back into old NY No Wave and experimental punk, and gone through pretty much every compilation I could dig up on the scene, but Im finding the tracks that have really been standing out for me are still the slightly poppier numbers. From a recent compilation that Rong Music put out called ‘Not Wave’ comes a new(ish) UK band called Circuits. The London four piece’s frantic, twitching, spiky guitar pop looks to the new wave sound of the late 70s and combines it with a distinctly modern twist. Im gonna say it sounds a little like Sting and the Police, but DONT let that put you off! Try it for yourself.

MP3: Circuits – Pistols At Dawn

Another band off that comp are Research, who I know absolutely nothing about, but give off that same punk-funk vibe as Liquid Liquid (creators of one of the best songs in the known universe, Optimo).

MP3: Research – East West Axis

I posted a track from the Japanese experimental/punk/psych/awesome band The Boredoms a few weeks ago, and since I still cant stop listening to the album, Vision Creation Newsun, heres another amazing number off that.

MP3: Boredoms – ↑

BONUS:
This is all over Gorilla VS Bear, but I do love the beat in this.

MP3: Animal Collective – Daily Routine (Phaseone Remix)

And judging from the lack of feedback, not enough of you jumped on this bouncy track, so try it again.

MP3: 6th Borough Project – Do It To The Max
