a note about this track

Daniel Victor Snaith is better known by the stage names Caribou and Manitoba. Snaith previously recorded under the stage name Manitoba, but changed his name in 2004 under threat of an American lawsuit by Richard "Handsome Dick" Manitoba, the stage name of The Dictators frontman Richard Blum. As Snaith himself commented, "It's like The Smiths suing John Smith or something"

a note about this track

http://www.plantsandanimals.ca/---they record to tape, and their records sound like they could have been made in 1972. But for all their analog warmth, it’s also impossible to deny how raw and recent the songs sound, and harder still to find anything else that sounds quite the same.

Freelance Whales

Weathervanes 2010 via Frenchkiss
a note about this track

http://www.freelancewhales.com/---To call them multi-instrumentalists might be a little overdone. The kids in Freelance Whales are really just collectors, at heart. They don’t really fancy buffalo nickels or Victorian furniture, but over the past two years, they’ve been collecting instruments, ghost stories, and dream-logs. Somehow, from this strange compost heap of little sounds and quiet thoughts, songs started to rise up like steam from the ground.

Helado Negro

Espuma Negra
Awe Owe 2009 via Asthmatic Kitty
a note about this track

http://asthmatickitty.com/helado-negro ---Helado Negro came together when Roberto Carlos Lange moved to New York in 2006. The group concept grew through projects and experiments Roberto would conduct while recording himself and others in his home studio in Brooklyn, NY. Loops, computer synthesis, record samples and live instruments provide the foundation for all these recordings. Throughout this process many players contributed to the record, including singing by Guillermo S.Herren (Prefuse 73) and Bear in Heaven front man Jon Philpot, drums and percussion by Chicago veteran Nori Tanaka (Lay all Over its), Matt Crum (Feathers) and Jason Trammell. Additional instrumentation includes Jason Ajemian (Born Heller, Chicago Underground Trio) John Ellis, Shannon Fields (Stars Like Fleas) and many more. Collectively all these people are Helado Negro but the group changes form with each new day.
