New Video: Coasting-Kids

Coasting is a female duo of Madison on guitar and Fiona on drums, straight out of where else but Brooklyn. For the past few months, the duo has been every blogger's head with their post-punky lo-fi jams and sugar sweet vocals. Till now I've been a bit resistant to their charm, that is until I saw this just great stop motion video of their tune "Kids". With one view you will be sucked into this tune's world, crafted from a broken drum set and the world's cheapest guitar that put together come out sounding like fuzzy bliss.

Various Deficiencies Vol. 1

As part of the steady stream of indie labels putting out free, and really good, mp3 samplers of all their current and upcoming releases, Blackburn Recordings has put one out as well with CHOCOLATE BOBKA titled Various Deficiencies Vol. 1. For those who (understandably) don’t know, Blackburn Recordings is a brand new indie label who just put out Big Troubles’ newest 7". This 17-track sampler is an awesome mix and a great showing of what’s to come from this label. Note the new Cloud Nothings and Campfires tracks, as well as tracks from up and coming bands like City Center and Coasting. Also, this is apparently going to be put on a limited number of cassettes, so people can get their physical release fix in as well. I can’t wait to see what Blackburn puts out next.
