And tonight should be just as nice, so why not make it more pleasant by checking out a FREE live show from the multi-talented Matias Aguayo @ SNACKS (Facebook event page).
For those who are drawn to the cold wave/minimalist synth-pop sound (like me), this new Captured Tracks band Cosmetics is for you. “Soft Skin”, from their latest 7″, is both brooding and ethereal…
{MP3} Cosmetics – “Soft Skin”

This tune from one of the newer signings to the Woodsist label, Art Museums, fits in with the lo-fi aesthetic of the label and is centered around a mumbly, Byrd-ian vocal. Looking forward to the full-length which is out on tomorrow, 2/16

I posted a track from Serena Maneesh’s new album not too long ago, but this one has got me psyched. It’s more poppy, immediate and no less sexy. Look at that picture above, hot damn! Something tells me that if they make a video for this, it’s going to be rad…
Is it shaping up to be the year Yeasayer? Me thinks so, especially after playing the new album Odd Blood. on repeat for the past few weeks. Goddamn it’s good (in a Hot Chip x Animal Collective x Paul Simon x Prince kind of way — phew!)
The newest single, O.N.E won’t officially be available until March 23, but you can download the calypso-psyched out gem now for free via the band’s widget below (just enter your email address). Weeeeeeeeee.
Check out a charming rendition of the Genesis classic “That’s All” from Clare and the Reasons. You can catch another in-store performance clip over at Art in the Age.

Yes! The always brilliant Dan Snaith aka Caribou has a new album, Swim, coming out on April 20th! Here’s a free track preview, which sounds like a new direction for Snaith, a la The Whitest Boy Alive. Interesting…
