DUDES is a band/project who just released their debut EP, NARCISSISTS ANONYMOUS. The EP is a result of a years worth of recording, reworking, and remixing. It’s a combination of chill waves colliding with eccentric samples, creating funky jams perfect for a hazy afternoon soundtrack. It’s got a little bit of everything for ya.
THe whole EP is available for free download at bandcamp. It’s also being released on casette by Grizzly Records.
Wrap your mind around the ultra cool jam “SOMETHIN’ 2 SAY” below. I think Ariel Pink would smile upon this little gem:

Colossal Gospel are Chris Johnson & Stephen Weibelt from Leeds, Alabama. They spent six months writing their debut album, Circles, in small Alabama homes, closets, hallways, and bedrooms. This intimate recording process can be heard inside of “Bitter Man”, a song whose warmth overshadows it’s recording process.
The lead vocals are reminiscent of Beirut’s Zach Condon, which is an impressive feat. “Bitter Man” has great vocals, and delicate playing that all adds up to great recording.
Remember the time when music was made with pure heart and soul? If not that’s ok, Colossal Gospel will show you.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have released a new song entitled “Maniac” for free. It’s gonna appear on their new album, Hysterical, which comes out in September.
“Same Mistake” was evidence that Clap Your Hands Say Yeah still got it, and now we got “Maniac” to prove it was no fluke. It’s a solid cut that expands on the quirky sound that CYHSY has made their own. The band’s playing is tighter than ever before and it really shows.
