Cheat Sheet #23 2011

Not a lot of explanation this week, but lots of music. Been gone at the beach and now heading out to Disney - Boss! Most of these tracks are older (2 weeks) but all are still worth a listen. Also seems to be a very subdued overall sound - I guess summer is coming to an end and we are getting ready for the cold days ahead. My wife thinks it is going to be an early fall.

Hooded Fang - Den of Love
Canucks with a nice little sound, has that 60's slow dance guitar to kick it off.
New album Tosta Mista is out now.

New album Strange Mercy out on Sept. 13

M83 - Midnight City source Everybody Taste
Its got a tasty beat with lots of squeaks, but you can't really dance to it. Great cool layered sound and has a laser shooting in the middle.
New album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is out on Oct. 18

Girls - Vomit source Buzz Bands
More slow jams. Very drawn out and sounds great.

 Fantastic dreamy synth pop sound. If you like the M83 then this should also hit the spot.

Come On Baby Cover Me #1 2011

There isn't much better then hearing a song reinvented. Sometimes its an unexpected pop tune turned cool or a classic track brought back to life. I have attempted to find some tracks that I think are great redos. Enjoy!!!
