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.

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

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.
