Friday 14th October 2011
There’s quite a bit of guitar on this week’s podcast. Nova Scotia’s masters of cracked indie pop Quaker Parents make a thrilling return, along with five combined minutes of bouncing garage surf pop from the LA’s Fidlar and Hollows of Chicago, plus an outstanding, (and previously unheard) track from the awesome imminent debut album from True Panther’s Bay Area trio Wet Illustrated.
Sufjan fans might be fond of Maps by underground lo-fi folk man Little Kid, which makes a neat bedfellow alongside a somewhat topical pick off the new Sea Pinks record.
There’s also something meaty and electronic from a remote corner of Russia courtesy of Art Crime, the weird, warped and sprawling future hip hop of Pyramid Vritra, an electrifying cover of Portishead’s Chase The Tear by No Pain in Pop’s Doldrums, and the very (very) welcome return of Ela Orleans, who provides what I think might be my favourite ever New Noise opener.
Oh, and I also need your opinion about some music that I can’t quite make up my mind about. I’m anticipating extreme responses either way.
