Dinowalrus are certainly an interestingly odd trio of guys of Brooklyn, NY. A few of their songs have been floating around the internet, like the track “Electric Car, Gas Guitar” I posted a while back, but their full album was no where to be found. So I had to resort to using gift card money on iTunes to get their debut album (not recommended at all). After a few full listens, % is any or all of these: spastic, noisy, inconsistent, groovy, loud, fun, nonsensical, and lovable. Big reverb echoes heavily through the entire record, on top of loads of bass grooves and freaky drones. Any fan of the LA noise scene (HEALTH, No Age, Liars) will appreciate and love this album, so check it out! % was released earlier this year on Kanine Records, and you can pick up the CD/LP from them or the band on their website.

P.S. A bonus of getting the album from iTunes is the music video for “BEAD” including the file! Enjoy!

MP3: || Cloud Nothings – “Hey Cool Kid (Memoryhouse Remix)” ||

Up-and-coming Clevelander, Dylan Baldi, has been getting great press for his debut Cloud Nothings LP, Turning On. I’ve wrote about him a lot on The Noise Is, so I really don’t need to repeat any of the incredible stuff he’s been doing. But very recently, Cloud Nothings got posted on Pitchfork for the song “Hey Cool Kid” along with a remix by Memoryhouse. The MP3 I’ve posted the “Hey Cool Kid (Memoryhouse Remix)”, which takes the catchy lo-fi pop track, and adds a ton of soothing synths over it. Dylan and his Cloud Nothings band just left for their tour before SXSW and MtyMx Festival, so check the Myspace for dates.

MP3: || Dinowalrus – “Electric Car, Gas Guitar” ||

Dinowalrus Myspace

Dinowalrus are a thrash/drone trio out of Brooklyn NY, reminiscent of LA noise bands HEALTH, and No Age. “Electric Car, Gas Guitar” is a fast-paced, fuzzed-out, thrash-drum, adrenaline-filled track, proving why their name is as abstract as Dinowalrus. Their debut, %, is out now on Kanine Records.

MP3: || Beach Fossils – “Vacation” ||

Beach Fossils Myspace

Beach Fossils, out of Brooklyn, are the newest part of the great hazy-pop movement with Ducktails and Real Estate. Expect dream guitars and vocals covered in a summery fog in “Vacation”. This track is off of their upcoming LP from This track is off of their upcoming LP from Woodsist and Captured Tracks hopefully sometime this month.

MP3: || Wild Nothing – “Summer Holiday” ||

Wild Nothing Myspace
My last, and definitely not least, track is from Wild Nothing, a bedroom shoegaze/dream pop also on Captured Tracks. “Summer Holiday” is full of pretty melodies with hazy vocals, making it a perfect head-bopper when the weather gets warmer and you start rolling down your windows when you drive. You can grab this 7″ from Captured Tracks, and expect a debut LP in the near future.
