Round Round Round Round Round Round Round

Buffalo Daughter “Cyclic” – This is a selection from their new Pshychic album, which as of right now is only available on Japanese import. It’s a very impressive record, and quite a leap forward for the band – they had always said that they wanted to make “techno music in a rock band style,” and I think that this album is their most successful attempt at this goal yet. I can hear the echoes of Neu and Kraftwerk in this, as well as elements of postpunk-disco and techno, but the most exciting thing about this for me is that it’s almost like a rock version of Terry Riley’s “A Rainbow In Curved Air.” I had to flip a coin in selecting a song from this record, by the way – I came very close to posting the more aggressive “Pshychic A Go Go,” but I’m glad that my quarter landed on tails, because this song is probably the more accessable of the two.

Koushik “One In A Day” – Oh my God, it’s downbeat psychedelic shoegazer hip hop! This is going to be really big and ubiquitous in indie circles very soon, and you know it. This is taken from the recent 12″ of the same name on Stones Throw Records.

Also: A note to Bloggies voters – just because Moby is a musician, it doesn’t make his blog a music blog.
