Friday Freebies

As there was no Friday Freebies last week as I was still up north recovering from my post-goNorth hangover, this weeks post is a bit a monster. A good friendly monster, filled with lots of free goodness...


The State Broadcasters
I haven't really posted much about what has been going on with the label I co-run, Olive Grove Records, for a while now. Not because I have intentionally tried to keep the two apart, more so because I am a bit forgetful, once I have been doing all of my promo stuff for Olive Grove, it doesn't dawn on me that I haven't bothered to mention it on my own fucking blog. That's what old age and sleep deprivation does to you kids. If you want to remember things, don't try running a label and a blog whilst also trying to maintain some kind of sanity. Oh and adding a child to the mix would just be crazy. Anyway, I'll get to the point, in September we're going to be releasing our first album of 2012 and it's ridiculously good. It's from a Glasgow 6 piece, the State Broadcasters, who some of you might remember from their debut album, 'The Ship & The Iceberg' which came out all the way back in 2009. In a few months time we'll be releasing the follow up album. 'Ghosts We Must Carry' and we're understandably pretty damn excited about it. On Monday their we made their track, 'Trespassers' available as a free download on SoundCloud.  I hope you like it.




Touch Sensitive
Our friends at Touch Sensitive launched their first ever album last week in Glasgow and from all accounts it sounds like it was a pretty successful evening. The online directory is looking to establish greater links between underground and alternative music coming out of Scotland, Spain and the rest of the world. As part of their efforts to create greater links between the different nations they've released a compilation which features six of their favourite artists from Spain and Scotland respectively. It's available now as a free download over on their Bandcamp page, featuring tracks from the likes of The Son(s), Plastic Animals and Zoey Van Goey, plus six Spanish bands that are all well worth checking out.





I Build Collapsible Mountains
There's nothing quite like a new I Build Collapsible Mountains to make the day feel that little bit better, admittedly his songs aren't always the cheeriest, but you can always be assured that they'll be good. Luke, aka  Mr Mountain, has posted up a free download of a new instrumental song by the name of 'Sleeplesser', bloody great it is too. You can find it on his SoundCloud page, if you're looking for something to soothe you into the wee hours of the night, then this my friend is the perfect soundtrack, lovely lovely stuff.



Campfires In Winter 
Croy four piece, Campfires In Winter have pretty much become synonymous with this blog, not only have I been championing the band for several years now, I also have their lead singer writing reviews for me. So I guess I am ever so slightly biased about their music, but fuck it, I wouldn't champion the band if I didn't actually like their music. Having been a bit sporadic with their releases, they continually seem to emerge with new demos which are a massive improvement on the last. In the case of the new songs that they've just posted on their Bandcamp page, they do appear to have developed a much more mature sound that bodes well for their debut album, which should hopefully see the light of day before the year is out. Although I wouldn't hold my breath as I have been waiting for an album for more years than I care to remember. For now though get stuck into these new demos, be warned they're catchy as fuck.

Secret Motorbikes
Do you know what Glasgow really needs, a great surf-pop band and you know what, Secret Motorbikes might well be that band. They've got two EPs up for free download on their Bandcamp page, both of which are pretty damn ace. Ch-ch-check 'em out.





Capitals
Edinburgh electronic duo, Capitals, released their new single 'All These Years' on a pay what you want basis on their Bandcamp page. Dare I say it, but this might well be the best thing they've released to date.





Gummy Stumps 
If you like your pop music to be a wee bit bonkers, then you really need to check out the new Gummy Stumps album, "New House Whites" which is available for free download from the good folk over at Winning Sperm Party.





Allan James
Sick of all of the downbeat indie nonsense? well then Mr James might well be your man. His track Don't Look Down is pretty damn awesome, it's also free to download, making it doubly awesome. Nab it for free from his SoundCloud page.





Honey
Glasgow shoegazers, Honey, have two new songs available for free download, if you're not sure which one to check out first, then I'd go for Cape Canaveral, as that's my personal favourite.

The Last Battle
Edinburgh folk-pop outfit, The Last Battle, released their new single, 'Hope Is Gold' earlier this week, as a wee teaser they've made the B-Side to the single, 'The Crunching' available as a free download on their Bandcamp page. Actually scrap that, it's not free anymore, sorry. It's still worth checking out though. The band launch the single with a gig on the 22nd of June at Pilrig St. Paul's Church Hall in Edinburgh.




Supermarionation
Another Edinburgh band who this time are actually giving away a free download are Edinburgh power pop punks Supermarionation who are giving away a free live recording of a couple of tracks on their Bandcamp page. If you like what you hear and you've got a spare grand kicking about, then you could always invest your pennies in their Limited Edition Supermarionation Card Holder!

Help Ma Boab, It's The 62 Word Review

Wolves of Winter – The Thaw (single)

This delicate, piano-led ballad utilises some mellow ambient sounds, lovely cello parts and atmospheric guitar drones to create a beautiful soundscape. The band have used the post-production stage to great effect, with plenty of swooshing delays and noise swells, but the song itself is maybe a little unvaried to truly hold your attention for its duration. Still, it's definitely worth checking out.

The Thaw is available here.

Penfold – Hindsight & Regrets EP

The production on this hurts my ears but if you can see past that, there's potential here. While Echoes and After This Night work from an unappetising pop-punk blueprint, opener Just One Day is excellent. Closing track Before We Fall is very enjoyable too and, for some strange reason, reminds me of Gold Against The Soul-era Manics. As I said before, potential.

Penfold launch the EP in Bannermans, Edinburgh tonight (w/ So Many Animal Calls and Lionhall) 8pm, £5

Capitals – All These Years (single)

The Edinburgh lads are back with some more dancy electro-pop, and once again it's terrific. All These Years builds up very with some glitchy breakbeats before repeating its rather catchy chorus once again. B-side Ode To An End is wildly different. Sitting somewhere alongside The Son(s) and the quieter moments of The Spinto Band, it's the aural equivalent of a summer breeze. 

All These Years is released on Monday 4th June. 

Fin.

We've Got It Covered #92

I am going to spare you from my ramblings this week and cut set straight to today's cover version which comes from Edinburgh-based electronic duo, Capitals and their cover of the Placebo song Meds. If this tickles your fancy then you might want to check out their new double A side, ‘Jealousy’ and ‘Sinking ships’, which came out on Monday there and it's available on a pay what you want basis over on Bandcamp. You can catch the band playing live at LAID at Bar Bloc on Wednesday the 28th of March with support from Galleries and Butterscotch.

Friday Freebies

Pet
Right this isn't technically a freebie as it's one of those pay what you like type scenarios, whether you choose to donate any pennies is up to you. The one thing that you do need to do is download their EP as it's fucking awesome, it's been a long time since I listened to something this good that wasn't emailed to me. Hailing from Edinburgh, the band describe their music as being 'heavy feather pop', fuck knows what that means, but it's probably a much better description than I would have come up with. You can find their EP, 'What You Building?' on their Bandcamp page, the band are having a launch night next Friday (1st July) at Super Club in Edinburgh. So if you're in the vicinity with nothing to do, then get yourself along to this one.

Kowalskiy
His Korner might have disappeared a while ago, but my blogger friend Kowalskiy has been keeping himself a busy boy as he's now onto his 12th Free EP. This months release features free downloads from Andrew Lindsay & the Coat Hooks, Innocents Civilian, The Tea Offensive, Le Reno Amps and The Black Hand Gang. You can download the EP directly from Mr Kowalskiy's Bandcamp page.

Twin Brother
Jamie who runs the excellent podcast, Net Sounds, in Inverness put me onto these guys earlier in the week. He suggested that their album 'Best Frenzy', might go down pretty well with folk who like Fleet Foxes, Department of Eagles or Doves. A pretty apt description in my opinion and a rather ace album too. You can download it for free on their Bandcamp, also make sure you check out Jamie's podcast, as its fucking ace.

Bon Iver
I am starting to think I might have to go back and give Mr Vernon's album another few listens, as it really does feel like I am very much in the minority of folk who didn't think much of his new self titled album. I think my friend Karl summed it up pretty well, when he suggested that it might be a good idea if Justin Vernon stopped taking so much fucking coke. Then again it did get a 9.5 review on Pitchfork, so perhaps that shows how much I know. Anyway, if you haven't already heard the album and am wondering what the fuck I am on about, RCRD LBL have a free download of the track 'Calgary' up for free download here.

Plastic Animals
For a Weegie I don't half talk about Edinburgh bands a lot on here, I am not sure whether it's just because I enjoy their scene more, or if just that Edinburgh bands just tend to email me more stuff. Whatever the fuck it is, I am not complaining. Plastic Animals have an EP out next month, I like it, I plan to feature them soon hopefully. Rather than making an attempt at describing them I am going to point you in the direction of a couple of free downloads that they have on their Bandcamp, then let them do all of the hard work in a few weeks time.

Cheesecake
I won't bullshit you, I had no idea who this lot where until just the other day when I emailed Halina from the Podcart. Seeing as she's the goddess of indie knowledge she soon put me right, apparently they're one them there supergroups made up members of Frightened Rabbit, Galchen and Union of Knives. If song titles such as 'Pure massive pubes' and 'Get Tae Fuck Ya Artists Cunt' sound like your cup of tea, then get download them from here.

Capitals
Having just played at goNorth and the Insider Festival, Edinburgh outfit Capitals, stock definitely seems to be on the up. Next month they're playing at King Tuts Summer Nights with Meursault and Over The Wall, then they have dates lined up in Berlin plus they've just been announced to appear at this years Edge Festival in August. With a mini album hopefully in the offing later in the year, the band are hinting on what lies in store by giving away their track 'Running and Hello World' for free in exchange for your email address.

Portishead
I never really got the excitement surrounding Portishead, it's just not for me. It might be for you though, so you might be interested that ATP have posted up a 2 Hour mixtape curated by the band, featuring tracks from the likes of Doom, Caribou and Beach House. You can download the mix for nowt using the following link.

Peace
Having just rambled about how I don't like Portishead, I am now about to tell you about something that's a bit Trip Hop-esque that I do like. It's by a guy who goes under the guise of Peace who's from Glasgow and has made his new Hungry EP available to download for free, and that's pretty much all that I can tell you about him. You can listen to his songs on Soundcloud, then if you like them, there's a link on the right hand side of the page to download the EP for free.

Dan Wilde
Exciting new indie label, Littlest Mojo Music, who promote Roddy Woomble among others, have recently taken on a fella by the name of Dan Wilde. You can download his rather enchanting song 'Nowhere' for free on his Soundcloud page.

Moddi
One of the things that I missed most at this goNorth was the chance to go and see a tonne of new bands, seeing as we were hosting our own night it would have been pretty rude if we'd have fucked off to another venue. Then again, we did have some a great line up, so there wasn't any real need for me to go anywhere else. So the next day when I was catching up with a few folk to find out what they'd enjoyed the previous day, the same name cropped up numerous times. 'Moddi, who the fuck is Moddi?', now I think I must have uttered this a few times, but it eventually seeped in as by the time I got home I was hunting some of his stuff down. It left me feeling two things, one I was happy that folk had told me about him and two, I was gutted that I had missed him. Hailing from Norway, Moddi's sweet acoustic have the power to be uplifting whilst also breaking your heart. You can find out yourself by heading over to his website where you will find a whole host of freebies.

Air Cav
On the odd occasion that I do listen to things that aren't Scottish, one of the main folk that I trust a lot is Ted who runs the excellent Cloud Sounds podcast. The boy knows his stuff, plus his rambling podcasts amuse the fuck out of me. One band that he has been banging on about recently are a Mancunian outfit by the name of Air Cav. Having checked out their Bandcamp page I can see why, see for yourself by downloading a couple of old singles for free.

Finding Fiction
Up and coming power pop outfit, Finding Fiction, who hail from Brooklyn, NYC, are currently giving away their new single 'Migraines & Sheep' for free download on their Bandcamp, catchy as fuck it is too.

Washed Out
Stereogum have a free download of new Washed Out song 'Amor Fati' taken from forthcoming post-chillwave album which is due out on Sub Pop next month.

Mazes
Fat Cat's very own Mazes have posted up new demo track 'Brunswick Stack' for free download on their Souncloud.

Friday Freebies

Capitals
Those of you who pay attention might remember that I posted a session from this up and coming Edinburgh outfit just last week. Well if you liked what you heard or it passed you by, then fear not as their debut single "Hello World", has just been released as a free digital download. The band play live at King Tuts on the 16th supporting the fabulous Come On Gang!

Idlewild
It's 10 years since 100 Broken Windows came out, that makes me seriously old. I guess the band probably feel the same, it feels like ages since I last gave the 'wild a listen, I am starting to feel pretty nostalgic in my old age so I am going to make the effort to dig out their old albums. Anyway, enough about me on with the freebie, you can get yourself a free download of a live version of Quiet Crown in exchange for your email address here.

Jonsi
I don't think I am spoiling to much by admitting that the Sigur Ros frontman's solo album is going to feature pretty well this year in my albums of the year. If it wasn't for my partner in crime, Halina, I would probably never have bothered to check it out. However, as she continued to bang on about how amazing his album was I decided to take a chance on his album. I was huffed to bits that I did as it's an awesome album. If you haven't heard then I would suggest you get it added to your Christmas wish list, if you need some convincing then you can download of a new live version of his song 'New Piano Song' for free here.

How To Swim
Those crazy How To Swim kids have recorded their very own Christmas single, 'Sleighbells (Christmas Makes Me Blue)', rather good it is too. Not only that, but it's also free to download on their Bandcamp.

French Wives
In the third of their series of Home Fires posts, i.e. the ones where they give away a song for free download, those lovely French Wives have posted up 'Greet Me By The Doorway' as recorded as part of their Radio One session. You can download it for nowt here.

Clash Magazine
There is a rather nifty free download of Clash Magazines top tracks of 2010 available for free free download here. It includes tracks from LCD Soundsystem, No Age, The Phamtom Band and Avi Buffalo.

Six By Seven
I was pretty shocked to find out these guys were still going, shocked in a good way I might add. Their debut album 'The Things We Make' was particular favourite of mine back in 1998, then they just kind of disappeared off my radar. So I was pretty chuffed when I found that not only are they still going, but there are also a whole load of free downloads up for grabs on their Bandcamp.

Bad Religion
This week really does find me reliving my youth, it's been donkey's since I last listened to old school punks, Bad Religion. Well now I am going to add them to my old school catch up list as they have a free live album up for grabs in exchange for your email address, download it here.

FOUND
Another Friday and once again we have another freebie from those fabulous FOUND boys, as I am writing this the night before I am still in the dark as to what it will be. All I can say for sure is that it will be great and it will be free, they're good like that.

Miaoux Miaoux
In a week when pretty much all we've had to talk about is the white stuff, it feels pretty apt that I post a track called Snow. Taken from his amazing Blooms EP, if you haven't already checked out Julian Corrie's alter ego then now's the time to do some much needed catching up by downloading the track for free here.

The Savings and Loan
It feels as if I have been plugging Song By Toad a lot lately in Friday Freebies and rightly fucking so (I felt the need swear there, I put this down to Matthew's bad influence). This week he's posted up the second single from The Savings and Loan's debut album, 'Today I Need Light', which you can find here.

Gerry Loves
The fabulous new Edinburgh label are having their Christmas party next week, as part of their celebrations they've posted up a whole load of free download links from their 'alumni'.

Buffalo Tom
Another blast from the past this week, Buffalo Tom are back after an extended break, you can download a free tune from their latest offering here.


The Foreign Films
"For many years I’ve been recording, writing, and touring the world. I’ve played packed arenas, and empty bars. There’s been “next big thing” talk that quickly disperses into “next time” talk. My last band Flux A.D. splintered into some cool projects with Julie Fader and Graham Walsh having success with Feist, The Great Lake Swimmers, and Holy Fuck. I on the other hand wanted to reassess where I was and what music I wanted to make. I think the results are the best, and most fulfilling work I’ve ever been associated with. No matter the mysteries of the future, music truly is the gift that keeps on giving. At this link I have my new Fire From Spark EP free to download".

Atlas Sounds
I meant to post this last week, but somehow it got missed out, my fault sorry. There is a free download of an albums worth of material up for grabs here.

Perfume Genius
Much as my good friend Ian has tried to convince me, I am still not sold on the old Perfume Genius. Each to their own I guess, if it's your cup of tea or your just curious to find out what all the fuss is about then head over to Stereogum where you can download new track 'Dreeem' for nothing.

Galleries
You can download yourself a free copy of Galleries single 'Rocket Science' for free on their homepage, while you're at it their debut EP is also up for free download.

Jack James
Someone else who is getting into the festive spirit is Jack James who has posted both of his albums up for free download on his Bandcamp page.

Kori Pop
The rather lovely Kori Pop has released a free holiday EP on Bandcamp. Here's what she had to say about it... "If the thought of holiday tunes makes you nauseous...please do not fret!! They are one-of-a-kind mixes. Two tracks were written & crafted by myself in GarageBand. The other two are from everyone's favourite Christmas shows and were recorded at a friends place". Download it here for free

The Radio Dept.
Whilst visiting New York, The Radio Dept. popped into KEXP and recorded an acoustic Piano version of Heaven's On Fire which you can now download here, for free.

The Pipettes
Those lovely Pipette ladies have posted up a new Christmas song for free download, get it here.

Thirty Pounds Of Bone
I want to start this post by apologising to Phil at Elba Sessions, for almost a year he's been raving about Thirty Pounds Of Bone, did I pay any attention to him, did I bollocks. Along comes Al from Armellodie and suddenly I find myself raving about him. Phil you were right all along and I'm sorry.

There are two free downloads up for grabs on their Bandcamp page, an alternative version of their song 'Delivered', plus as if that wasn't enough the rather fabulous 'Subbuteo' is also up for grabs too on their Bandcamp.

Also, Jamie - that is what happened to your Everton player....

FOUND
Last Sunday I saw FOUND for the first time in ages and it confirmed it one thing for me, the release of their new album on Chemikal Underground is going to be pretty damn special. Until it's release we're going to have to make do with their weekly freebie, as always I do this in advance so I have no idea what this song is going to be. All I know is that you can get it here.

King Creosote

Kate And After
