The release from this past week I’ve been most looking forward to but for reasons various haven’t actually gotten my hands on is the new A Place To Bury Strangers album Exploding Head. I have, however, been following their tour blog, which is entertaining. But, oh my, the massiveness of “In Your Heart” – one of the best tracks I’ve heard all year.

MP3: A Place To Bury Strangers – In Your Heart

Here’s a nice Datarock remix by Holy Ghost.

The Laughing have let loose a nice little bit of dirty fisted harmony with “Runner,” a track off their self-released album FEVER. Snazzy stuff here!

MP3: The Laughing – Runner

The Hidden Cameras released Origin:Orphan, which included this mystifying blend of 70s ELO, Hopalong Cassidy drums, and verse melodies that could be well cribbed from Super Furry Animals. Delightful!

MP3: The Hidden Cameras – In The NA

This track by The Wooden Sky snuck up on me like a ninja on powder soft snow. Next thing I know I’m knocked flat – I swear I never saw him swing. I should know better. Voodoo, that’s what it is! Ninja voodoo! Anyway, buy more here.

MP3: The Wooden Sky – Bit Part

Straight up, I admit to not expecting much from a band called Peephole, even though they are cool enough to give away their EP free. And you know what? I was totally wrong. Good on ya, Peepholers. Boy, that sounds bad …
