Unclean Ghost by El Jesus De Magico

El Jesus De Magico are featured on this month's release in The Columbus Discount Singles Club Year One 7" Inch Singles Series. Future singles will include releases by: Psychedelic Horseshit, Little Claw, Cheater Slicks, and Guinea Worms among others. The series is limited to 250, and the series is SOLD OUT. It just doesn't seem right that only 250 people get to listen to the new El Jesus. The 7" has an "Unclean Ghost" a-side and a "Pirate Utopia" b-side. For you... right here, I have the a-side.

Listen: "Unclean Ghost" (box.net mp3)

Electric Arc By Oxford Collapse

The new Oxford Collapse album BITS is out. It looks like this:

BITS by Oxford Collapse

Downloadable: "Electric Arc" (box.net mp3)

What can I say? I fucking love this track. Is it the thundering bass? Is it the jangly guitars? Is it the chorus stuck in my head? 'Dunno. I (can't?) remember when it was just an unreleased ditty made available on Daytrotter. I have seen it referred to as "Electric Art" (on Amazon) and "Electric Air" (on Fluxblog), but will use the track name from the Sub Pop interwebsite.

Oh yeah, and the rest of the album is pretty good too. Buy it here.

I'll Hit The Breaks By Yppah

If you like the instrumental goodness of Low Scores, you might like this post.

Joe Corrales is Yppah, and Yppah is from Houston, TX. He mixes guitars + keyboards + loops (sampled from real drums) to create mid to downtempo jazz/electronic/indie soundscapes. Way back in 2006, he put out You Are Beautiful At All Times.

Yppah says: "with you are beautiful at all times i was trying to combine all my influences plus the mood i had been in that past year i was writing it."
