††† EP †

Crosses (†††), the new project from Chino Moreno, Shaun Lopez and Chuck Doom have released their first ep for free. You can pay $5 and get a high qual version in the file type of your choice.

The ep is excellent as you can imagine. Very minimal and electronic ala Team Sleep. Duff McKagan makes a special guest appearance on “This Is A Trick”.

Effort is also available on iTunes.

Daytrotter Sessions

“One band a day, every day, 28 Daytrotter Session songs each week.”
Daytrotter
Daytrotter is an amazing website / live performance series that gives listeners “exclusive, re-worked, alternate versions of old songs and unreleased tracks by some of your favorite bands and by a lot of your next favorite bands.” If you want to hear raw, stripped down and personal versions of your favorite songs, then Daytrotter is the place.

Just listen to the performance of one of my favorite bands Far. They take away the many sonic layers that blanket the album version of “At Night We Live” and perform songs with guitars and trap set that sounds like it’s being played for you in your bedroom as you drift off to sleep. The space and airiness of the recordings are at once strange (to our used-to-hearing-over-produced-recorded-music ears), disarming, and totally gorgeous.

I also have to mention comical but true to life illustrations of each band sketched by Johnnie Cluney. Classic!
