There is an incredibly decent amount of new music to be excited about right now. Brazilian band, Garotas Suecas appeared on my radar last week courtesy of my ultra savvy friend Roger. It is with no hesitation that I award this week's find of the week to this super cool soul tinged psych band. The 7" who's A-side I played on my show this past weekend is available to order here, and there is apparently a full length due out later this year.
In addition to that discovery, another pleasant surprise last week was Fixing the Charts, the new record from Everybody Was in the French Resistance... Now! Fixing the Charts means what it implies, as with this project Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos, and Dylan Valdes from the Blood Arm offer counter perspectives to the messages put out there in twelve popular songs. Concept records like this one always have the potential to walk a fine line between clever and contrived, this one is decidedly on the side of the former.
Plus I played a lot of Slumberland bands to spotlight the then forthcoming Slumberland 20 year anniversary show (by far the best show I've been to this year so far), and I put forth my version of a tribute to the very sadly now late Alex Chilton.
You can check out the show here!

Yeah. That Slumberland event was ridiculous! Every band sounded soooo good. It's a shame that a trio as brilliant as Henry's Dress will never play again.
such a shame indeed! but at least we got to hear it that one time, plus boyracer just being unbelievably awesome, go sailor being just the funnest thing ever, cool sounding new bands, hearing "throw aggi..." live! so much fun!
you should really come to hungry beat! one of these days scott, i think you'd have fun.
i play in brown recluse, thanks for the airplay. saw you dj last year at the cake shop too. great stuff!
