Free Music Fridays...#5

1. "I Remember" Bully

A riotous little track from Pitchfork standout Bully that packs a grungy sucker-punch in under two minutes. Lyrics about throw up and shit have never sounded so awesome.

1. "Be Cool" Home School
A snappy little pop song with petals of rosy guitar jangles-- the perfect song for our first official day of summer

DWNLD | 

2. "Born to Die" King Khan & the Shrines 

Described by Khan himself as "an apocalyptic ode to the heinous war machine that to this day ruins our lives." In other words, a way-cool, joyous soudning psych antem complete with brass and string sections, richly obssessed with a wah-wah pedal.

3. "Hello" The Mantles
A brawny piece of garage rock with a refrain that suddenly tingles between the ears.

4. "Honeypot" Thom Yorke
Once a discarded remix of Radiohead's All I Need, Honeypot is a dark trance of cycling beats, switches and ticks under Yorke's whimpering falsettos.

Free Music Fridays...#3

+I've made a bit of a change to these Free Music Fridays worth pointing out: The link next to DWNLD is no longer a download link, (assuming you could all decode DWNLD to mean "download").  Instead, I embedded the download link into the word DWNLD, so clicking on the word will lead you to the link to grab your free song.  Now the URL to the right of that is a link to the artist's website/band page if anyone has the immediate desire to learn more about the band.

1. "Chasing My Mind" Holograms
With a bit of revved up 90s arcade-like techno thrown into the mix, this song steers back to the nostalgic days of Nintendo when punk rock was fast, messy and unbearably raw.

2. "Flesh Dance" Gothic Tropic
Vibrant little piece of psych-pop with perfect impromptu-sounding guitars and smooth bass line.  The words take a bit a backseat here and allow everything to mesh together perfectly- not a single piece commanding the other.

3. "If You Want It" TV Girl
Fresh and delightfully cheery song about the harmonizing "upsides" of one-night stands.  Sleigh bells always make things more pleasant.  

DWNLD | http://tvgirl.bandcamp.com/

4. "Henrietta" Yeasayer
A vibrant, swirling mix of fanning strings, beats and bops with a T.Pain auto-tune tossed in at the end to break it down.  This time, it actually sounds good.

1. "To Be Young" Two Wounded Birds
Alternating male and females vocals alongside the coarse, almost spontaneous lo-fi guitar riffs give the songs a sturdy frame with a warm heart.

2. "Waiting In The Wings" Big Wave Riders
By the name, Big Wave Riders where their surf mantra on their sleeve, but behind the fuzzy jangles is a hint of Brit Pop influence on lead singer Teppo's voice that blends ever so nicely.  Did I mention they are from Finland? DWNLD | http://www.1forthepeople.com/2012/05/new-track-big-wave-riders-waiting-in.html#more |

3. "BC" Glaciers
A drowsy little track, not as eager in tempo as the first two. Soft, outspoken vocals sit patiently between a chilling and tranquil lead guitar.

Free Music Fridays... #1

      New category alert! Yes we got something new at TUNEclatter and it's exactly what it advertises- selections of perfectly free and legal music, ready to be downloaded right here.  Each week I will scour the endless facades of the internet for any available and legal downloads of my liking.  Most free songs on the web come from emerging artists who are kind enough to offer up their songs in return for the free publicity.  The descriptions will be brief and the reception is for you to decide.  If you like it take it, if not carry on.  Besides, what's the point of finding free music if there's no one to share it with?

   + I will try and make this a regular post on TUNEclatter on Friday of each week. [We'll see how long that lasts.] At least we got one!

===============================================================================================

1. "Not Title (Molly)" John Maus
A groovy, techno-y pop song with a splendid '80s vibe to it.  Like a hyped-up Joy Division track.

2. "Time" Athletes
Another Joy Divison-esque song with a more genuinely nostalgic feel to it. A little slower, no techno.
| http://athletes.bandcamp.com/track/time |

3. "The Only Place" Best Coast
The title track from the upcoming album due May 15.  A perfect hippity, So-Cal theme song to kick start the oncoming summer months so desperately in our sights.

4. "Gossip" Starlight Girls
With the high pitch organ screams this spooky pop song sounds like it should have been released closer to Halloween.  But all the better that its here right now. [You can actually download their full self-titled EP all for free!]

5. "Tomorrow" Parakeet

A side project from the female bassist of Yuck, "Tomorrow" is a riff-driven, hard-hitting rock song with a warm heart coming in the form of Mariko Doi's congenial voice.
