Matthewdavid

Listing to 'Matthewdavid' is like looking at a Matthew Furie illustration. You get the basic idea but there's so much more beneath the surface. 'MD' is an excellent lo-fi, geek hop act from LA. Unlike many of 'MD's' peers, he manages to incorporate soothing mixes of ho's and hum's to make some of the most blissed out songs to date. "First_Day_Rmxd," originally a Dntel track, is a mash of all things that make 'MD' great. Booms, clicks, whistles all culminate to create one exquisite piece of work. Snag your copy of "First_Day_Rmxd," a bonus Mp3, and peep the dates, after the jump.

Eternal Summers

The other day is was going through ye ol' email and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered 'RR's' buddy's 'Eternal Summers' had sent me a promo for their aw-inspiring self titled EP. The sound is best described as a refreshing take on the summery, dream pop that we've all been used to lately. "Fall Straight Back," my favorite song off their new EP, is a balmy, blissed out masterpiece which perfectly showcase Nichols amazing vocals and Daniel's chill drum style. Snag copy's of both "Fall Straight Back," "Lightswitch," and peep the dates, after the jump.

Naomi Punk

Let me just start by saying this is honestly one of the best Lo-Fi acts I have ever heard. It is a honor to live in the same state as this guy. I was lucky enough to get a promo for 'Naomi Punk's' self titled debut. Words really cannot express how I feel about this project. It can only be described as jangly, lo-fi, pop, bliss. "N/A," or the song better known as "the one with the little Rwandan kids on it," is a complete joy to listen to, I don't think I've ever really listened to a two minute song over ten times but I can not stop viben to this. "The Sun," one of my favorite songs of 2009 (And will be on my year end list!), is an incredibly well crafted song that uses just the right amount of instrumentals and contains pitch perfect vocals. Grab both, after the jump!

Assassins 88

I've got some more noise-ish, lo-fi for you guys today. It's from the amazing Aussie duo 'Assassins 88.' I just found out about these guys from a buddy the other day and managed to get my hands on their first release, "Go Go Second Chance Virgin." The whole album is great but there is one song that was just amazing. The song is called "Age of Consent," Listen I don't know what these guys used to record this but it's bloody terrific. Screaming guitar and a massive drum part set up the song, which is shortly followed by crazy distorted vocals. Snag "Age Of Consent," "Girls Girls Girls," "Bees And Birds," and peep the dates, all after the jump!

Stream: Kurt Vile - Childish Prodigy

Matador was kind enough to let the public have a preview of Kurt's new album. Ahh yeah. Check it out, after the jump!
