Fresh Track: Les Sins “Fetch”
Electro do-it-all Chaz Bundick is no stranger to telling a story through sound. As the man behind Toro y Moi, he has put out everything from the super chilled turntable vibes of Causers of This to the more jazz based, soulful beats on Underneath The Pine. He is also a man who never stops creating. Later this month, his side project Les Sins drops a new 7” via JIAOLONG Records that features new tracks “Fetch” and “Taken”. While his Toro project features Chaz on the vocals along with an ever-expanding back up band from his solo start, Les Sins is Chaz getting back to his roots and suiting up in his Saturday nightclub superman suit. “Fetch”, featured below, is a hypnotic blend of house beats interwoven in a Saturday night cocktail of fun. A mesmerizing track to say the least, it’s one that features everything great about the talent that is Chaz Bundick.

Fresh Track: Night Moves “Country Queen”
I shared a smoke with Minneapolis’ Night Moves after the band’s July 14 opening set for Father John Misty at Schubas Tavern in Chicago. After some time spent gushing over Minneapolis’ burgeoning indie rock scene, lead singer John Pelant informed me of their debut LP Colored Emotions, due to drop on October 9. The album’s second single “Country Queen” arrived late last week. Listen below. Night Moves is scheduled to hit the road with Lord Huron for the entire month of October. All available dates are featured below.

Fresh Track: The Shamefaced Sparrows “Ride That Seastorm!”
Back in March, we featured an interview and a few songs from UK-export The Shamefaced Sparrows. From the hypothetical libido of an indie songstress to a breakdown of the playground hierarchy, the sheer absurdity found in the responses of that interview will likely go down as some of the finest lines to ever grace this modest space. Late yesterday, we received word that our favorite irreverent Brits were safe, sound and playing tunes again.
“….since [we last talked], we have been self-imprisoned in our makeshift den, built amid a unmapped tree-ringed field, hidden from civilization and home only to ourselves and a silver-draped gang of magpies……. we finally emerge with two new tracks – Apple Tragedy and Ride That Seastorm! – which we would like to share with you and thought on tracks…
ever grateful.
steve + laim.”
