Albatross - Murder
It’s been a long time coming, but Life Aquatic Records has just announced it’s second release. It’s hard to believe the last was over a year ago. In true LA Records fashion, this release is from Oz’s own Albatross. Albatross is a slow burning producer duo, never too hasty to release their sound. Which makes this double a-side 7” release all the more tasty.
Here is a-side Murder, which drifts high, lofting as a spectacle, touching down only to whisper “they’ll call it murder”. Listen to the other a-side Caspers Theme on bandcamp, as well as two great remixes by Guerre and Dro Carey. There you can also download the tracks for free. Read more from Jarred himself at Life Aquatic, then go ahead steak claim on one of the 250 limited 7” records right here.
**also, please peruse there soundcloud, there are some gems, especially Stockholm Syndrom which they just put up last night…whoa

- PORTALS Mixtape #1: Full of so many good jams you’ll wonder if good music super novas really do exist.

- easily suede – Signalling: Drifting in and out of consciousness, these are some experimental sounds that touch the soul.

Introducing PORTALS
It’s a special day today. I get to introduce to you something that I, and the people that make up some of my all-time favorite blogs, have been working on. And that is PORTALS.
PORTALS is the ultimate collaborative effort between sixteen blogs. Our hope is not to pander to the expectations of what we should be, but to stand as a safe-house for the music and art that represent the age we live and breath in. Click through to start getting to know PORTALS, and download or stream our first mixtape full of so much good, you’ll want to do something about it.

Joseph Stallion - How I Won The War
A surprising beauty emerged from the depths of my view. Joseph Stallion sent this amazing track to me, and in spite of my recent failure to listen, I found it. And it’s everything you’d hope it to be. Buttery vocals, heavy beats, and a sincere motive.
