SPOILER: THIS IS RELY HOW SUMMER OF MEGADETH IS MADE
When I listen to Com Truise I think of angles. I think of sharp shapes, smattered across caves in varying neon color. Com Truise, to me, is the cubism of electronic music.
![Groundislava (Jasper Patterson) is back with another installment on the Friends of Friends label. After pumping out some remixes and a few EPs, TV Dream has arrived as a five-track EP perfect for poolside lounging and self exploration. No, not your[self] exploration, Patterson’s self exploration. And no, not sexually. Groundislava returns from previous works with a honed sound that pulls back on 8-bit influences and focuses on relaxing dissonance, leaving listeners with a consistently good release.

Stepping over the faded coattails of the chillwave genre, Teen Daze releases his sophomore album, All Of Us, Together, another instrumental that is sure to be sampled on summer playlists and indie art films about picking dandelions.
Riverhood is the first studio release by brother/sister duo Holobody. It’s likely that they’ve been collaborating since childhood on tree forts and sand castles. Riverhood is well composed. Its tracks are like ten Russian dolls, each housing a smaller variation of the original. Another variation houses another variation, which finally houses something edible. And by edible, I mean audibly digestible. The deeper you let yourself slide into Riverhood’s fog-filled soundscape the less distracted you become by its genre bending and disproportionate halves. From indie pop, to spoken word, hip hop and electric loops–the dots are all well connected.
Gotye - “State of the Art” My good buddy Arthur shared this via facebook. You know a song is good when it spurs intellectual discussion. What followed:

Review Of
Ernest Gonzales – Natural Traits
Friends of Friends: 2012
It is so refreshing to hear San Antonio’s Ernest Gonzales meddle in both analog and digital instrumentation on his latest album Natural Traits. Not in the sense that the sound of a guitar is more pleasing than that of a synth. Or in the sense that real percussion is more true than a drum machine. No, it’s more like the sound of branches sprouting forth from a tree, already full of non-uniform leaves, roots in various genres and a phyla so unique it makes an arborist question science.
I recorded this in my basement over the weekend. There’s always something to do when you and all your friends are musicians.
