OTRO MUNDO - JELLIED

Got these guys in the inbox a bit ago; thought they were buzzworthy.

Otro Mundo (Spanish for another world) is from Tempe, Arizona home of the Sun Devils and an eclectic weirdo music community...that is probably better than yours. Anyhow, these gents are a spacey four piece that bring some eclectic influences (such as Sonic Youth, and Husker Du) into their tunes. Their cassette, which just released a bit ago under Ascetic House. They haven't taken advantage of one of those helpful streaming audio sites for musicians, but you can take a listen to the title track of their cassette on that embedded YouTube video. Combining their multiple band powers, like the kids did with their rings in Captain Planet, Otro Mundo is following an idea that my band and many other bands follow. It's like that movie with Haley Joel Osment when he was actually making money in film because people thought he was cute, except it's with bands; Every member of every band should have at least one other project, thus creating four bands from a four piece band. Take a lesson from these boys and do the same. And speaking of other bands, Otro Mundo is going to be on a nice little winter tour! Check 'em out in a city near you!

Take a listen to the appropriately titled title track 'Jellied' and then get that free download, or order their cassette by sending a friendly e-mail and a few bucks! For those of you not born in the 90s, this should bring back some memories of when grunge was on top and the soundtrack for all the DIY skateboarding films.

MIKAL CRONIN - ST LP

If you have been following the garage resurgence (though, it's always around) in the past few years then it is certain you have heard a thing or two from Mikal Cronin. Having done work with the Moonhearts and with Ty Segall, Cronin recently started putting out some work under his own name. This release (the two demos that are available through his bandcamp)was produced by Ty Segall on Trouble In Mind Records,and is much like his last 7''; it oozes with some excellent 60s infuenced rhythms, grooves, and ooooos and ahhhhhhs. Though it's on the lighter side of the music spectrum it's a fantastic listen. Couldn't find a leak, yet...it's probably out there, you just need to look harder than we did. This release also has special cameos by Ty Segall, Charlie Moonheart, and John Dwyer! Take a listen! AAAAAANNNND, if you don't want to download each song individually, because it's a huge pain in the ass to do that, then click on that mediafire DOWNLOAD link and it'll be easy as one click, two click, red click, blue click.
