Electric Arc By Oxford Collapse

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



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.

City Boy By White Arrows

Normally when I receive a highly compressed mp3 submission into the trash it goes... but not LA-NYers White Arrows. This catchy-ass tune is compressed down to 96 kbps. Instead of sounding like it was recorded inside a tin can, this bit of post-punk actually sounds good... or pretty good (or my ears are finally going). Anyway, listen.

Downloadable: "City Boy" (box.net mp3)
