We Are Young By The Shaky Hands

Following up on yesterday's theme of Daytrotter session songs that I really like (which happen to have jangly guitars in them), today I post a track from the upcoming (Sept. 9) release from The Shaky Hands. The album is called Lunglight. It will look like this:

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."

Take a listen...
