Warm Thighs - Warm Thighs 5






















Grab this and Warm Thighs 4 from last year and burn them onto a disc. No questions. This is the future of your new summer in decomposition.

"Grave of the Lizard Queen" by Em Carroll



































New clickable comic weirdness from FG comics super-favorite, Emily Carroll. Here.

"Altneuland" by Sariel Kaslasi

Homeshake - The Homeshake Tape






















Casual, intelligent, idiosyncratic pop. This one took me by surprise when I realized that it was way better than just pretty good, which is what I thought to myself the first time through. Definite keeper.

Susan Balmar - CCG






















In a vein similar to Jar Moff's brilliant 12", Commercial Mouth, Susan Balmar cobbles together samples which sometimes cohere into beats, but more often wobble into disjunctive, abstract messes--which is why they're so amazing. On CCG, Balmar seems to have stumbled into a haven for misfit sounds, sounds which she lovingly tugs together, knitting everything into a beautiful grotesquery of demented anti-hip hop. Just brilliant.

Broken Deer - Polaraura






















No vetting needed here, a new Broken Deer album means a new post up on FG. Halfway through Polaraura and I already feel like I'm disappearing in the eerily beautiful lo-fi folk weirdness.

Ori Toor + Kingdom Crumbs


Brilliant video by Ori Toor coupled with this great track by Kingdom Crumbs, whose self-titled debut album came out last year. Surprised this is the first time I'm hearing of Kingdom Crumbs. Brilliant debut reminiscent of Shabazz Palaces. Listen and download the whole album below.
