Snasen – “Failing Upwards”

Everything is falling apart in the new track from Norwegian producer Snansen.

This song certainly sets a mood one that is dark and ominous, but it has all the sounds that you would want aesthetically, it is incredibly appealing to the ears especially at a high volume. There is definitely a mood to this song and unsurprisingly it turns out that Snasen used to belong to a punk band called Amulet. You may not see the most aggressive sort of behavior in a song like this, but you can certainly feel the attitude of Snasen in the soundscape he creates, and I am personally a big fan of it.

Catch the Failing Upwards EP February 15th.

Fatal Jamz- “Scorpion Chain”

A video from Los Angeles’ Fatal Jamz for the fast-rockin’ “Scorpion Chain,” which sounds like an interesting cross between the modern and messy punk energy of Jay Reatard with the over-the-top presentation of glam.

Jamz has a debut album coming out on Burger Records and Gnar Tapes in November. Also, while you’re at it, check out a project that was also fronted by Fatal Jamz’s Marion Belle named Bowery Beasts on Bandcamp.

Teeel- Amulet

Got a tip on this album from a message written by a viewer.

Teeel is the solo effort of Jim Smith. The analog synths and rigid drum machines on his latest album, Amulet, are anything but contemporary, but reviving “dead” sounds is pretty en vogue these days. At this point, I’ve lost all grip of what’s new and what isn’t.

After cruising through most of the tracks here, this thing definitely feels like a much-needed fusion between the sounds of Toro Y Moi and New Order–but that’s just one man’s opinion. Stream the whole thing below, and download the opening track for free right here.
