ATTENTION!: friends/family/bloggers/bands/fans/(anyone really). Due to a recent turn of events in 

our lives (divine intervention perhaps?...maybe aliens?), it has become our immediate goal to set up a completely DIY tour across the country. Knowing that this won't exactly be the easiest goal in the world, we are reaching out to you guys to point us in some of the right directions. If you would like us to come to your town/state and know of any venues that might be able to book us, we would love to hear about them. Lets make this a reality! We love all of you and we want to hang out!

PS:

We're not gone, we've just been partying too much. 

Mike just got back from tour

& were gonna be having a new summer program.

The 9-track EP contains 3 "part II" extensions from their previous FSCK EP and additionally includes the instant favorite bass-heavy, sampled cut "Demo Beat". Grab this track below and the rest of the incredible EP via Bandcamp and look out for more of their tunes with UFolk Records.

  We feel showing all of you this remix is the best way to get it our there.

Many moons ago we worked on this and just haven't known what to do with it.

It's been long since you may have heard anything from us but rest assured we are still hard at work on new music and new live performances. Within the next few months we hope to have something really great to share with all of you.

Attached is an older song we have never released entitled GrainSpoiler.

We feel its the right time before the not so distant future to give these things to you.

A stunning collab by Mikey Maramag of Blackbird Blackbird and Lance Smith of Pandit who together create magic with the track "Lovesick" (via UFOLK Records). Featuring some heavy percussions and bouncey synth work, the track induces a feeling of anticipation as if eagerly waiting to be united with someone you care about. Purchase/download the song over at UFOLK's bandcamp and you might just become lovestruck with the track itself. Grab it down below.

I first heard Frank Midnite's music in January and immediately liked it. Though his tracks were mostly synth-pop, they had a melancholic quality about them that caught my attention. He had just released an EP called THIS IS OUR TIME as BRIGHT FUTURE, about which I wrote a couple of words. Ever since I've been keeping track of what Frank has been doing, listening to all the demos he put on his Soundcloud, so when he asked me to write about a track he finished, I didn't have to think twice.

"The Optimist" features a steady beat and percussion, that typical crackle in the intro and captivating synthesizer melodies. Yet because of the vocals, on this track particularly reminding me of The Smiths, the music gets a different, melancholy dimension.

BRIGHT FUTURE is on both UFΩLK and Night Thief Records (Frank's own label) and will be releasing an album entitled Blue//Black this summer. On Soundcloud you can find a bunch of demos, reworkings of songs from the last EP and a remix for The Present Moment's "Feast on Fire" that was released via Disaro. One of those demos is the track I'm embedding here, definitely one of my favourites so far.
