Urusei Yatsura

[Sexy lo-fi goodness]

Urusei Yatsura were a Scottish lo-fi band that were around in the 90's-early 00's. Growing up my friends brother was in university so I heard all the college radio bands like Sonic Youth etc. Out of all those bands Urusei Yatsura was the one I use band I use to play on my walkman all the time. There mix of lo-fi indie and noise rock/shoegaze is just the kind of thing my young virgin ears needed in order to develop a budding interest in music.

[Good lo-fi sexyness]

Our Sleepless Forrest - S/T [2008]

[Ambient, Drone]

I'm going to be away from the PC all weekend, and so I'm posting a few things here today. The first is an ambient drone release from back in 2008 when ambient drone was somewhat popular.
For those thinking I'm dropping lo-fi I'm not, the next post (which will probably be up later today) will be filled with straight up sexy lo-fi goodness.

Lone Pigeon - Concubine Rice [2002]

[experimental folk-pop?]

Lone Pigeon was in a band called The Beta Band, they were good, but he had to split for health reasons. Then he came back to fife and started recording solo material. This is one of said solo pieces. It's really good and he shows why Fife shouldn't be left out of the Scottish music scene. Him and the whole Fence Collective.

Weird Ribs - 803 Days [2011]

[Experimental/Electronic/Hipster Drone?]

Is it still cool to like "hipster drone"? I mean, Wet Hair have a new LP due out this year, so who knows it may be due for a revival. Even Gang Gang Dance are bringing out an new LP. Anyway, I thought seeing as I'm trying to get this blog back on track I'd post something else so 2011 doesn't look like a bad year so far.
Enjoy!

Sports Bar - Demo [2011]

[Fuzzy Lo-fi Garage]

I've moved house and had no internet access for the last few months, but now I do. So the plan is to update at least once a week, try and get this blog back on track. So first up is this 11 track demo by a pretty talented bunch of guys. They only have 130-something listeners on Last.fm which is a shame because they are deserving of much more. Maybe if they did a track with OFWGKTA (They''re popular at the moment right?) they could get the numbers they deserve, I don't know. Still even if one person is still following and downloads this, I'd be happy.
