Want some melancholic music that reminds you of Explosions in the Sky or Jackie-o Motherfucker? We got something for you: Seabright! A duo from the USA, making music with some great melody, sometimes hard sometimes soft but always great with those distant vocals that make you float away and dream about paradise. When I heard this music the first time, it really made my day. It’s great! But (there’s always a but…) the songs are really short, which makes it hard to get into the mood for their songs but when you found the repeat-button this problem is solved! A lot of free tracks on their soundcloud, we present you our favourite:
Seabright – Rachel and Ryo
Great instrumental track, with those same pure and clear touches of guitar strings reminding me a lot of one of my favourite bans Explosions in the sky. But still they get their own sound! Be prepared to get blown away!

Time to tell you about a fantastic band called Atlantic Line! This LA based group takes elements from great bands like Sigur Ros, Pink Floyd, Flaming Lips… and creates a very nice own sound. They released an album called “Exit to Intro” and give it away for free! This album is full of great post-rock music and beautiful layers of noise. Have a listen at every track on this album and download your favourites! Our favourite ones are “Big Brother” and “Collectors”. Big Brother gives us some great post-rock which starts slowely and peacefull to explode at the end. Together with some emotional vocals, this band deliveres some great class here! Collectors has a nice build up and some electronica like 65dos would use. Great stuff! Be sure to listen to all the tracks, they are all very nice! Get it here:
Atlantic Line – Exit to Intro
Godspeed!

I found 4 nice tracks while brosing the web. Have a listen, i’m sure you’ll like them!
Damian Marley & Nas – As We Enter
Nice mix between Hip-hop and reggae with Nas & Damian Marley which has a bit of a retro touch in it. Some nice vibe in this track with a great sentence going like this: “I got the guns, I got the ganja”. Funny and great at the same time, love this type of hip-hop.
Yolanda Be Cool – We No Speak Americano (Hector & Nate No Speak Bass Remix)
After the remix by Vhyce, this one by Hector & Nate is my favourite remix from We Speak No Americano. Of course, the original is the best version, but Hector & Nate gave it a more housy twist. Some bouncy beats and drums with the greatest parts of the original track. Great stuff, best part they offer it as a free download!
Brodinksi – Arnold Classics
I have this track already a while, but this is just to great I have to share it with you. Brodinksi for president!
Electric Dreams Myspace
More post-rock vibe with Electric Dreams. Another project by the guy from Bloody Disco, but this time some dreamy and lovely electronica.
Enjoy this!

Monastery, a one piece minimalist project from Texas, began making music around the end of 2008. He makes his own version of post-rock and it’s very nice! Together with Summer of Glaciers (which we made a post about, some days ago), this guy will perform at NX35 festival in Denton. He send us a track called “A Life (for the Lost)” and is featured on his recent release on Flowers/Paranormal St.

Summer Of Glaciers, is the project of Ryan.This guy from San Fransico makes post-rock electronic music and is about to release his first full length album on Ascender Descender Records. He explains: “All the drums are programmed, I am looping and sampling live guitar and bringing in a lot of my influences from things like Burial, Ratatat, and Nosaj Thing.” Sounds like heaven, doesn’t it? And guess what, It is! The tracks he send us, are really nice! So we couldn’t do anything else than share this music with you guys! Check it out: you can download and listen to some songs Here!
Enjoy it!

I will give you some nice tunes, you should know. Here we go:
Fake Blood – I Think I Like It
A very Poppy tune from Fake Blood, not bad at all.
Huoratron – Alphabet City
Flipping beats and blips make this song awesome!
Crookers Feat. Kelis – No Security
Crookers go dubsteppish together with a rapping Kelis. We think it’s nothing special but probably another big hit.
Grum – Heartbeats (Joe & Will Ask? Remix)
A great remix from an even greater track! Disco-style booty-shaking. Get the original Here.
Chromeo – Night by Night (Siriusmo remix)
Siriusmo remixed the new single from Chromeo and we have to say: “great job dude”.
Au Revoir Simone – Another Likely Story (Neon Indian remix)
After the Aeroplane remix we gave you, here’s another remix from Another Likely Story. If you like psychedellic electronics, check out this song!
The XX – Crystalised (Rory Phillips Mix)
The big XX hit Crystalised is now really dancy thanks to Rory Phillips!
Fuck Buttons – The Lisbon Maru
Electronic post-rock, you know it’s awesome…
Enjoy these tunes and your weekend

The guys from Frontalnoize recommended I Wish I Knew. We checked it out and really liked it! They make a mix of post-rock and Gothic, which is pretty weird but sounds very nice! We can’t give you any songs but you can listen to some on their myspace. Frontal Noize will soon provide the IWIK distribution in Belgium, so check their website from time to time to stay up to date!
