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.

KRANG - SPEED OF TENT 7''

This may be a second too late, but here is a little something beautiful for your ears to munch on. Krang, a band with some guys from Canada (there's some good shit comin' from our friendly Northern neighbours), groove around on some spacey, transcendental, psych waves from a reality beyond your own. This psych four-some recently put out their first vinyl release on Mammoth Cave earlier this year - a cute little 7'' titled Speed of Tent. The record's first track, Speed of Tent, is a heavy droning force with fuzzed out bass, periodical screeching guitar handy work, and drowned vocals; it's like lighting up and dreaming underwater - a nice throwback without the circle of douche bags kicking around their boyfriend's scrotum filled with sand. The second track, Spirit Animal, begins with some clean guitar and tambourine making for a lighter introduction than the previous. Though, don't let that fool you into believing it's a light song because it eventually turns into a reel of voices of all the influential people in your life reverberating over the top of some waaaaah'd out riffs that are reminiscent of all the dark psych stoner bands you could ever think of.Check out Mammoth Cave  for this 7'', it is a must! And because there isn't an accessible leak.....let's make one! Remember, free music is great, but supporting the artists you dig is even greater. BUY IT.

WIDDERSHINS - WIDDERSHINS DEMO

Here is on that is unfortunately NOT FREE - not a good way to get your stuff out, is it? This band is called Widdershins but there isn't much more info besides taht they share that name with a handful of other artists. Regadless of how it ISN'T FREE, take a listen for a spacey grunge'd out travel to somewhere else, especially on a rainy day like today.  Wanderlust and Crystal Cave, the two tracks are completely instrumental and might hypnotize into an 80s arena rock, psychedelic, trance. At some point you may find yourself holding a lighter high in the sky pumping the other fist with long bleached hair and jean jacket, and at other points you will find yourself playing an early 90s racing video game on the Sega Genesis. Take a listen, but only here or on their bandcamp because THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE IT. (I'll get it to you soon, don't worry).
