Never Stops By Deerhunter

Jeez... you go away for a few days and there's a new Virtual 7" from Atlas Sound (here) and then Microcastle and Weird Era Cont. and the Logos demos are LEAKED by Branford Cox by accident. Branford's apology is here.

You may have noticed the aura of hype around Microcastle which was due for release this Fall. I am going to restrain myself. I just going to post one song from Microcastle. Maybe you heard it already? It's a goodie.

Downloadable: "Never Stops" (box.net mp3)

The album looks like this:


My favorite song from Microcastle is probably "Nothing Ever Happened". If you want to know what that song sounds like, buy the album right now via iTunes or wait for the physical release or non-DRM digital release.

And now some Atlas Sound downloadable action: "S.S.C." (box.net mp3)

Get the whole thing (ok, one more song): Virtual 7" No. 4 (mediafire zip)

Oh yeah, more Deerhunter... the blog Southern Shelter has a live recording of Deerhunter from just last week... here.

Cat Swallow By Royal Bangs

According to the Royal Bangs, they sound like: "BEEEP BEEP BEEP bumpbumpbump WHOOOOO beeep beep whiizz." That doesn't sound quite right to me, but I don't care. Know why? Because, this is cram-packed with awesomeness.

Downloadable: "Cat Swallow" (mp3)
