Blancmange – Drive Me

Well this has been a long time in coming, Blancmange is back from a 26 year hiatus with a brand new album called, “Blanc Burn”. I’ve listened to the album about four times now and the two stand out tracks for me is the first single, “Drive Me” and the album cut, “Don’t Forget Your Teeth”. “Don’t Forget Your Teeth” has a whimsical charm that is hard to deny. It sounds like a track that would have been included in Trainspotting had it been around at the time. Welcome back Blancmange!’

Yellow Ostrich – Whale

I can best describe this track from the Yellow Ostrich as a rather odd blend of The White Stripes, They Might Be Giants & Sufjan Stevens all mixed together. It has the very raw edge sound you would expect from The White Stripes mixed with the vocal style that is most commonly heard on They Might Be Giants music with the arrangements and pop sensibilities of Sufjan Stevens. What does this amount too? A very endearing track with lo-fi rattles and delicate harmonies. This track can be found on Yellow Ostrich’s 2010 full length release, “The Mistress”.

Taken from Allmusic.com bio:
Yellow Ostrich is the solo project of the Chairs’ frontman Alex Schaaf, who makes lo-fi indie pop on his four-track recorder. After relocating from Wisconsin to New York, Schaaf self-released a full-length album, titled Wild Comfort, in January of 2010. It was quickly followed by a series of EPs — Fade Cave EP, The Morgan Freeman EP, and The Serious Kids EP — which were made available for free download.

Junior Boys – ep

The latest from the Junior Boys is called “ep” and will be included with their June 14th release, “It’s All True”. In typical Junior Boys fashion, the soft spoken voice of Jeremey Greenspan runs atop a disco-esque vibed track.
