Then, as soon as the creepy R&B tracks from this free mixtape began to circulate, the hype engine revved up. There was the Drake cosign , the album art that looked like Spiritualized crossed with Tumblr art-porn, the missing vowel, the stylish samples, and the project's creators hiding in the shadows.

Katy B: On a Mission
Last year, Katy B was widely credited for bringing vocal finesse and feminine pop appeal to an increasingly aggro dubstep-crossover arena. She dropped a fantastic Benga-backed debut single, "Katy on a Mission", that vocally wrung out both elation and longing over his abrasive, buzzing stutter-step. And she kept that streak going with a couple of guest spots on Magnetic Man's self-titled record: The eerie come-on "Crossover" and the ecstatic jungle throwback "Perfect Stranger" were album highlights that proved her voice could breach the barrier of heavy-duty bass and plant its feet firmly atop it. Two UK top 5 hits later-- "Katy on a Mission" and the Ms.
La magistrale leçon d'histoire des Dirtbombs
Les plus obtus des amateurs de rock sur trois accords suants n’ont jamais bien compris pourquoi Detroit, ville de John Lee Hooker, de la Motown ou du MC5, était aussi le berceau d’une musique sans guitares : la techno. C’est donc une véritable leçon d’histoire comparée, old-school mais révélatrice, qu’offrent les Dirtbombs, vénérables hérauts du garage-rock de Detroit, avec cet album de reprises d’incunables techno (Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Carl Craig…), entièrement jouées à la main. Les Dirtbombs ont deux batteurs et deux bassistes. Mick Collins, immense chanteur soul depuis toujours traversé par l’histoire musicale de sa ville, retient ses rugissements habituels pour se glisser dans la peau d’un afro-cyborg. Les riffs de guitares sont hachés, claqués et tordus, pour suivre l’implacable métronomie de la techno originelle.
The Dirtbombs - Party Store (2011) mp3 320 vtwin88cube - Demonoid
Quote: One of Mick Collins' many post-Gories projects, the Dirtbombs initially seemed to exist more in concept than in reality. As if in reaction to the bass-less sound of the Gories, the Detroit-based band brought together two drummers, two bass players, and Collins on vocals and guitar. And other than consistently loud volumes and lots of noise, the Dirtbombs actually displayed a surprisingly diverse sound, composing across a broad spectrum of styles from garage rock, punk, and glam to classic soul and R&B. They began primarily as a 7" band, issuing five singles before Larry Hardy of In the Red convinced them to record a full-length, 1998's Horndog Fest. After issuing another handful of singles, the Dirtbombs released their sophomore album, Ultraglide in Black, in May 2001.
Dodos: No Color
In the shadow of Dodos' breakthrough LP Visiter, their 2009 follow-up Time to Die was considered a minor letdown; in a vacuum, it was actually more of a misstep. The addition of a third member had gummed up the works for original members Meric Long and Logan Kroeber went the party line. Instead, the record's achilles heel was the usually appropriate tidy economy of Phil Ek's production. Here, for perhaps the first time, it worked against one of his charges, turning down Dodos' raw idiosyncrasies and miscasting them as genial folk-pop á la Fleet Foxes or the Shins. But when a misstep is this obvious, the flipside is that troubleshooting is incredibly easy-- back to a duo and working with previous engineer John Askew, No Color isn't quite the knockout Visiter was, but it's a logical step in trying to advance beyond the untamed but thrilling sprawl of the past without slamming the door on it.The Dodos - No Color (2011)(ADVANCE)(MP3@320 NPR Stream Recording)(Indie Rock Psych Folk Baroque Pop)(High Quality MP3) - Demonoid
The Dodos are an American indie rock band consisting of Meric Long and Logan Kroeber. Since 2009, Keaton Snyder had joined the band as their vibraphone player. Originally formed in 2006 as Dodobird by multi-instrumentalist Meric Long, unpredictable San Francisco indie rock duo the Dodos acquired their new moniker with the arrival of Logan Kroeber, a fellow West Coast artist whose penchant for experimental drumming and progressive metal melded perfectly with Long's interest in West African Ewe drumming and country blues fingerpicking. The Dodos released their debut album, Beware of the Maniacs, that same year independently, followed by Visiter in 2008. Long and Kroeber added electric vibraphonist Keaton Snyder to the fold and collaborated with producer Phil Ek on 2009's Time to Die, which found the trio exploring a more fleshed-out sound.
It was fitting that the final release from Kyuss featured a cover of Black Sabbath's "Into the Void", because throughout their seven-year existence, the Palm Desert quartet essentially existed in one-- the band's devastating stoner-rock earned the respect of various celebrity admirers (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden among them) but they never successfully sold it to the masses. That Sabbath cover appeared on a post-break-up 1996 split EP, the flipside of which featured three songs by a new project formed by ex-Kyuss members Josh Homme and Alfredo Hernandez. True to the project's feminizing name, Queens of the Stone Age, the new material boasted a more melodic, loose-limbed variation on Kyuss' earthquaking crunch. Still, there was little indication that the Queens were going to have any more commercial impact than Nebula, the Wellwater Conspiracy, the Atomic Bitchwax, or any of the other many 70s-styled psych-rock acts orbiting around at the time.
