A few shots from the mailbag that you might want to hear . . .

40 Watt Hype

Soulful, experimental live-band hip hop, with that central Mexicali flavor.

Echoes (Art Hodge Remix)

British Sea Power

You guys probably know all about BSP.  They’ve been around forever, and this is their most listenable album yet.  Which is to say, I really dig all their work–I just don’t find it very accessible.  this one seems to be an effort to broaden their audience, and it’s much appreciated.  terrific stuff.

Zeus

GASLAMP KILLER

I’ve heard about this guy for a while now, so I was happy to get this promo.  From his “Death Gate” EP on Brainfeeder Records, it’s 15 minutes of wild electronic-based music.
