Cake Like - Bum Leg

Cake Like's first record Delicious from 1994 is great. I heard this track 'Bum Leg' on the radio and went to the record shop the next day. It was not so easy to find because it was only available on Japanese import. It's one of my favourite records ever.

Dash Jacket - Looking Like Glass

Throwing Muses - Carnival Wig

'Carnival Wig' is one of the best TM songs ever, it's from Red Heaven. It's one of those Kristin Hersh songs that kick in hard every time I hear it. The guitar sounds lonely and then all of a sudden there's this scream that goes right to my nerves.Throwing Muses are mixing their new record at the moment. It has 35 songs so it's making up for all the years without Throwing Muses record.

The band has just released the third chapter of their Season Sessions. The sessions accompany Kristin Hersh's novel Paradoxical Undressing and are released on the first day of every new season. The spring session has 'Carnival Wig'. Download Fall, Winter and Spring here.

I couldn't upload the track on soundcloud because of some copyright thing, so here's a video of the band playing 'Carnival Wig' in 2000:

tUnE-yArDs - My Country

tUnE-yArDs' new record W H O K I L L is crazy, there's so much going on in every song. A lot of samples, vocal loops, trumpets and ideas. The single 'Bizness' already showed a lot of potential. I think this is going to be as big as Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca (or maybe the Projectors are just my association with tUnE-yArDs because I saw her opening for DP once). Listen to 'My Country' below.

Crystal Stilts - Flying Into The Sun

The new Crystal Stilts record In Love With Oblivion is very good. 'Flying Into The Sun' is one of the best tracks.
