Rad track to start the week off with. Yes… I said rad

Tundra Vole
“Rush Hour in the Department of Early Humans”
This is growing on me.
Found here are super stretched out & unwound sentiments from Tundra Vole, an Australian based musician whose small rodent citing name isn’t nearly as profound as the music behind it. The whole atmosphere backing each and every track found on the self-titled release is about as distinctly driven and sparingly uneased as any Bandcamp release I’ve come across this year. All while not being too overdone at the same time, the album follows through with the tags listed on Bandcamp; cinematic & fleshy. Name your price for the release at the link below.

Gotye
“Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)”
Here is a bit of lo-fi gold from Australian singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/recordist/labelist? Gotye (pronounced Gau-ti-yea). But you can just call it awesome, that’s what I do. Man does that hook get ya.
Check out his new record Making Mirrors on Soundcloud.

“Hands”
Awesome.
This Australia-based six piece band’s new track is electronic/indiepop perfection- it instantly won my love with its super dreamy vocals, ethereal vibe & damn fine handclap beats. Travel to their SoundCloud to hear mmmore!

“Back Seat”
I predict I will be into this cut for a while.
Can data predict hits?
My friends at social music analytics company Next Big Sound think so. They wrote a post about trend data on this song, and how the numbers predict it’s hot enough to hype. I’ve thought a lot about this, and how a lot of services are working on predictive analytics that might take the music biz in the direction of Moneyball. On the one hand, it seems that they’re simply interpreting wildly far-flung play stats that grow organically on their own. If it worked, we’d likely see more home-grown success stories. But on the other, my jaded side thinks that what’s more likely is that these sorts of analytics only reenforce the industry status quo. The players with the money will always dominate the playlists because they have the PR power to get their artists up on P4K, Vevo, Spin, Rolling Stone and the like on a regular basis.
What do you think?
This Adelaide, Australian band’s new Through the Glass EP comes out on June 12th.
Royal Headache
“Down The Lane”
Been sitting on this gem for too long, but after seeing this bombastic pop Australian 4 piece rip through their set last night during Northside festival, I gotta share this track.
Grab their LP out on What’s Your Rupture? and try to catch them while they’re still in the US.

Tame Impala
“Apocalypse Dreams”
Oh what’s that? There is a new Tame Impala track and it’s already been minted by the big dog blogs?
Yeah, I’m posting that anyway ‘cause I’m a straight fan of Tame Impala and it’s the first single off their new Lonerism LP out in October on Modular. Trade your email add for it.
