New Music Releases Available Now: Promising, trippy Hip Hop/Dance newcomer Theophilus London has released his debut long-player, Timez Are Weird These Days. London — a native of Trinidad — isn’t your typical MC, as his music and this feature from The New York Times show. Spinner has a full stream of Timez here and you can get a sample of his unique style for your very own with this free download of the RAC Remix version of the track “Why Even Try,” courtesy of Mashable. Below is a wild clip for the song “Girls Girls $.”—-
Quirk Pop kings They Might Be Giants are taking a break from their kids’ music career to return to the adult music world with Join Us, the duo’s 15th full-length release. And there are lots of ways to sample the album before you buy it. Spinner has the full release streaming (click here) and TMBG is giving away the track “Judy Is Your Viet Nam.” Click here for your own copy or click the arrow at the top of this post to give it a listen. The band also hosted a make-our-next-video contest for fans. Check out the winning entry/official clip (selected by judge John Hodgeman from The Daily Show, Mac ads and the hilarious podcast/judge show parody, Judge John Hodgeman) for the single “Can’t Keep Johnny Down” below. (TMBG plays Sept. 20 at Newport's Southgate House; get your advanced tickets here.)
Another new, cool and unusual Hip Hop album, Sole and the Skyrider Band’s Hello Cruel World, can be heard in its entirety at My Old Kentucky Blog here. Frontdude Sole was a cofounder of Anticon, the amazingly eccentric Art Rap label which also got off the ground with the help of Cincy-affiliated Alt/Indie/Hip Hop acts like Doseone and Why? Turntable Kitchen has a free download of the track “We Stay Eating” (featuring guest MC, Busdriver), as well as Sole's recipe for vegan tuna salad, here. And you can grab an MP3 of the collaboration with experimental Indie crew Xiu Xiu (an MPMF 2011 participant) at the Brooklyn Vegan blog here. Dig the album’s title track (and music video) below.
