misfits

<b>Too much great music, too little airtime...</b>
This week we decided to raise the bar a little and reduce the number of tracks presented on our Fresh On The Net listening post, to make choosing a little easier for our readers. But here are another 14 tracks submitted this week - in a variety of styles - that also tickled my fancy, even though we didn't have room to include them in the final 26.

I'd particularly draw your attention to the fine gumbo groove behind Randolph Swain's swampy imprecations, the liquid solo piano Interlude by Eduards Ozolins and Bo Walton's deliciously authentic rock'n'roots stylings. Hopefully there'll be something tasty here for everyone... Tuck into this selection box, folks, and see what takes your fancy !

Ghostpoet - Survive It (Koreless Remix)

In recent years, the term "deep" has been used and reused, to the point where the word has almost no concrete meaning in the context of electronic music. That's why artists like Efdemin (a.k.a. Phillip Sollmann) are so important; there's little question that his work is "deep," but in Sollmann's case, the descriptor has a lot more to do with the actual depth and nuanced nature of his music than it does any specific sonic signifiers. He's long been associated with Dial Records, an imprint with a long history of thoughtful, detail-oriented house and techno. On March 31, the label will be delivering Decay, Efdemin's third full-length and an effort that was largely recorded in the serene environs of Kyoto, Japan. Ahead of its release, we've enlisted the veteran German producer to put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series.

For those familiar with Efdemin, the podcast will contain little in the way of surprises, though that does nothing to detract from its quality. Throughout his career, he's repeatedly hit paydirt when enriching standard techno rhythms with bits of noise and field recordings, and that holds true here. Even when the music's energy is peaking, the podcast feels like a long, slow burn, as subtle atmospheres and melodies gently give rise to thundering layers of percussion. The blends are long and the narrative is deliberate, making for a particularly immersive listen. Sure, there are ace bits of house and techno at work, not mention more pensive melodic passages that provide a little time for introspection, but this is an effort in which the final product is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

MOUSE DEER - I Can't Do Anything Else

Randolph is watching a telecast video on his Ipod 253s whilst passing the twin stars of Pollux at twice the speed of Dark. Unfortunately he is pulled over by a Geminium Ranger Patrol. They seem unconcerned about the devilish speed but inquisitive about Randolph's choice of Music. Communications officer, Roc Petrona warns Randolph via his implanted Audi-listener that summary executions have been reported by the Geminiums' for travellers who have the wrong 'Taste' in Music. What should Randolph say ....'Am I Rock' or 'Am I Soul'.

AM I SOUL ?

“On Ponzi Bridge” is an unusual blend of the catchy and the strange that delivers a wry commentary on 21st Century Western culture and society in crisis.

Whether it is squelchy analogue bass lines or beautiful cascading strings, school orchestra style off pitch oddness or darkly beautiful melodies, “On Ponzi Bridge” explores our current predicament of recession, cuts and the collapse of old certainties by drawing on a wide range of musical influences and cultural reference points.

Treading the line between the epochal and the domestic “On Ponzi Bridge” serves up themes and narratives that are both human and universal. Inspired by such diverse musical sources as the Americana scores of Aaron Copland and the music of The Residents, to name but two, this album further develops a previous emphasis on the eclectic whilst delivering what is possibly his most cohesive collection of tracks to-date.

Mount Kimbie - Made To Stray

Mouse Deer is the alter-ego of Holly McIntosh, a multi-instrumentalist living in Bristol who produces lo-fi power pop songs about coming of age in a run-down seaside town fuelled by heartache, hope, escapism, old LPs and cups of tea.
Upbeat, intelligent and sometimes wistful, the hooky melodies embrace lyrics that touch on themes of disappointment, determination, frustration and freedom, all underpinned by intricate harmony and tricky chord changes. The sound harks back to the itchy hyper-pop of early Todd Rundgren and XTC, with lush swoops of Court and Spark – era Joni Mitchell and warm, complex textures that owe much to alt-rock pioneers Sufjan Stevens, Loney Dear and Grizzly Bear.
Praise for The Mouse Deer EP (released 12/12/11)
"You can’t help but like the five songs here, and why would you not want to? Catchy and upbeat but never trite or formulaic, always with just enough of the unexpected to keep you on your toes" - Robert Haymon-Collins, Music Always Gives Me A Lift
