Stumbleine Dawn

I've recently joined a music meditation club at a university. The music isn't so much a focus on meditation rather than just sharing songs that are “chill” or enjoyable.  My first time attending the meeting I was delighted by the final song shared by a student.  The song is entitled Dawn by Stumbleine. Now I don’t really know a whole lot about this band; but this song is pure joy, very reflective.  You can get the files here.

Oneohtrix Point Never Boiler Room Set

Oneohtrix Point Never aka Daniel Lopatin has been one of my favorite artists over the past couple of years. Album after album he's released has gotten more and more impressive. Rift's, Replica, and the latest R Plus Seven. For this post I'm focusing on his L.A. Boiler Room set. I've never had the opportunity to see him live. But I can imagine it's nothing short of amazing. He starts this set with an elongated version of "Still Life" the opening drones that fade into the song are so incredible. I can't imagine how powerful it sounds on a good sound system aka not youtube...
This whole set is honestly some of my favorite music I've ever listened to. The way he mixes his songs are just so powerful. The gem in all of this comes at the end of the video. He layers synths on top of the opening song from R Plus Seven, "Boring Angle." Check this out and enjoy. Really amazing stuff going on here.
 
Also since I'm blogging about OPN. Here's my favorite song from 2013.

Dirty Beaches

Just a tad late to getting around to this guy Alex Zhang Hungtai aka Dirty Beaches.

The reason I'm saying "I'm late" is due to him releasing one final instrumental album under the name Dirty Beaches. 

For Starters I really recommend checking out "Drifters/Love is the Devil."

Dirty Beaches' sound is really obscurely beautiful. Much of the sound is heavy in Reverb. Like a shit ton of Reverb. The track that shines on this album is "I dream in Neon."

 

Panda Bear Mr. Noah EP

Panda Bear is back with more solo material.
I knew for sometime that he was working on a new album. 

To my surprise Mr. Lennox dropped a new EP entitled "Mr. Noah"

also featuring the fantastic "Mr. Noah" off Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper.

I really enjoyed this brief EP; every unique and delightful. I was never thrilled with his

last album "Tomboy" so it's nice to see Panda Bear return to similar sounds from "Person Pitch." 

I'll be posting his song Mr. Noah. Enjoy and look out for "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper due out in January.
