Receiving Dynamite

Khan “Favor After Favor” – Do you ever feel like you’re missing out on all the fun? Does that sort of feeling ever lead you to overcompensate in a very grotesque manner? Do you ever wish that your life was like a creepy, decadent David Bowie tune that no one has ever heard before? This song has an answer for each of those questions: Yes, YES!, and YESYESYES!!! (Click here to buy it from Juno.)

Babils “2 = 3” – The most obvious reference point for this would be Radiohead’s “The National Anthem” and Primal Scream’s “Blood Money,” but unlike those songs, the fuzzed-out bass line has no obvious sense of direction. It has momentum, sure, but it’s just swerving around aimlessly in a psychedelic stupor before melting into a puddle of icky black slime. (Click here to buy it from Amazon.)

Elsewhere: My new Hit Refresh column is up on the ASAP site with mp3s from The Field, The Lichens, and Boy In Static.
