E.U.C. - The Prey E.P. (2010)




















E.U.C. aka Electric Umbilical Cord are California transplants that have been residing in Brooklyn. They play electronic music and have been for 9 years in some form or another. They can be compared to The Cure, Bauhaus, The Chameleons, Death In June etc. But what they really are, are two of the coolest guys I know in the greater NY area playing the most sincere music they can based upon their influences, interests etc and they KILL IT. I can't think of a better time of year to be able to share this with you. Download this immediately and let this become your new fall soundtrack. Go see them live, buy whatever they have for sale.

The Organ - Grab That Gun (2004)




















The Organ were a short lived, almost all female group from Vancouver, BC. They broke up at the peak of their buzz but left a solid record behind. Grab That Gun is heavily influenced by The Smiths...no matter how much they claim it isn't. Super Johnny Marrish guitar leads and rhythms, super Mozish vocals (though sang by a woman). It's all there. It even has kind of a dark 90's feel to it at times. Check it out.

Zola Jesus - Stridulum EP (2010)




















Madison, Wisconson's Zola Jesus returns with a six song EP containg more of the same gothic, brooding and haunted pop but this time I feel it's more refined. It's a step in the right direction. Give it a listen, eh

Zola Jesus - The Spoils (2009)




















Zola Jesus is Nika Roza Danilova, 20 years old, from Madison, WI. Sparse no-fi drones with hints of industrial rhythms and ethereal vocals. Kinda gothy, pretty good.

Slavescene - Heaven Only Knows Cassette (2009)




















I know that this is a pretty old release but I seriously haven't stopped listening to it for almost a year. If you haven't gotten a hold of this yet I implore you to do so. Absolutely fucked-up Drunkdriverish stuff with a bit more structure.

Puerto Rico Flowers - 4 12" (2010)


















John Sharkey III from Clockclean Er recorded these four tracks that sound like super bass driven new/dark wave jams but according to the Fan Death site they claim that it's "Slow songs not unlike a skinhead crying." You be the judge.
