Saturday Looks Good To Me - Meet Me By The Water

"While Motown, Phil Spector and the Beach Boys still exert a strong influence on Saturday Looks Good To Me's sound — especially on "Alcohol" and "Ultimate Stars" — the band explores an entire bandwidth of AM radio moments, ranging from the "Itchycoo Park" drum fills on "Meet Me By the Water"; the Peter & Gordon-esque acoustic guitars on "No Good With Secrets"; and the Byrdsy jangle of "You Work All Weekend," which sounds like said band backing the Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt."

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - In This Home On Ice

"Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are the rare chimera that look like a bunch
of normally dressed substitute teachers, while throwing down the most
captivating, Talking Heads-esque bizarro pop you've ever heard."

Hymie's Basement - 21st Century Pop Song

"Hymie's Basement is the joint project of cLOUDDEAD's Why? (aka Yoni Wolf) and Andrew Broder (aka Ninja Tune artist Fog)... Unsurprisingly, the result retains the atmospheric esoterica of cLOUDDEAD and the candid quirkiness of Broder's Fog releases, yet also features an interesting and unique interplay... "21st Century Pop Song" was recorded after the original basement sessions as a means of gathering enough material to fill out the album. The track benefited from a little distance, and both its mood and subject matter make it the perfect opener for the record. Here, the pair merge slick hip-hop production tricks with indie guitar riffing to overlapping vocals that tackle ideological cynicism, the futility of mundane existence, and atomic bomb survival tactics."
