Deftune

Olympia Washington based trio Polka Dot Dot Dot on schedule for their fall 2009 tour is fully armed with their latest album offerings and ready to roll out to bring you a live and in depth showcase of their brilliant and immeasurable musical abilities. Their full length album “Syzygy” is a swirling sound collage filled with magical properties that carry it with enough beauty, soul, and emotion to please any amateur or professional musical alchemist. Pop in this album and it’ll be enough to make any day GREAT. That said, check out a sampling below and imagine seeing/hearing them perform live. Highly Recommended

If you’ve heard Bibio’s music before….you haven’t heard anything yet until you check out his newest release Ambivalence Avenue. One thing’s for sure…his talent is immeasurable. His musical productions transpose elements of ambient, electronic, folk, hip hop, and experimental. You’ll find yourself questioning what exactly it is that you’re listening too. I find it quite amazing how he can transition from an organic, acoustic folk track into hard hitting beat any beat head can appreciate. Put it all together and you’ve got some amazing music. Highly Recommended

Check out this track sent to us by Blimp through Sound Cloud entitled Tiny Tiny. You can find their music on Amazon, eMusic, and i-Tunes.

….The music of Blimp has been described as sounding somewhere in between Tom Waits, Nino Rota and Vic Chesnutt. A big fan of such artists as Elvis Costello….Did you know that the term “blimp” is the sound the airship makes when one taps the balloon with a finger?…..

If I were to film a scene in an movie where the main character and his accomplice were riding top down in a beat up-boat sized caddy through the desert on hallucinogens, I would pick this song as my soundtrack.

The Cotton Jones Basket Ride started off as a side project for Michael Nau who is also the founder and lead vocalist of the band Page France. Cotton Jones, hailing from Maryland, delivers a nostalgic folk-pop sound. Chewing Gum (Concrete Tooth Mix) is off the recently released The River Strumming album. Now call up an accomplice, get in your ride, and enjoy!

Hot Heavy Heat (Dimlite\’s Hot Air & Thick Plastic Remix)

This is a track called Same Song Sing Along from the Her Space Holiday single Sleepy Tigers. It’s the lead single off the album Xoxo, Panda And The New Kid Revival which comes out on Oct. 7th, 2008. Her Space Holiday aka Marc Bianchi began his journey as a musician in the California hardcore scene. He has also part of Indian Summer and Mohinder in the early 90s. The new album is definitely a departure from his older work. He refrained using the laptop and decided to go for a more live folk sound.

I had a hard time deciding on which track I liked the most, but I really enjoyed Same Song Sing Along because it’s about independence and the rebellion against conformity and corporate propaganda. We’re all beautiful it cries out, giving all hope and strength to everyone who gives it a chance. Every song definitely has character and each possesses an addictive upbeat and positive vibe that keeps you wanting more. I guess we’ll all have to wait for the full release.

Here’s a refreshing track for you entitled Little Garçon by Born Ruffians from their album Red, Yellow & Blue. This Canadian indie rock band is really making a name for themselves these days. If you listen to their albums you’ll hear why. They’re currently signed with indie label Warp Records and are touring around Canada right now. Make sure to pick up their album because EVERY song on there will blow you away. Be on the look out for the next EP coming out on Sept. 29th entitled Little Garçon +.

I guarantee this song will put a smile on your face.
