wow, thanks for this, i had no idea they'd done anything other than the self titled album (which i've been spinning regularly since i got it earlier in the year). these are like a less world-weary jawbreaker, and i like it!

--- Quote ---Rules:
The first rule of this thread is you do not mention MF. I am doing this because we are currently the first hit for the full version of "MF thread" on Google, so y'know, that's bad n' shit.
No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.
Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.
Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to MF, in multiple parts if the album is over 200mb. The reason for this is that we know MF is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.
Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.
Also, please do NOT request albums. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.
Repost the rules at the top of each new page.

I'm so glad you posted the instrumental version, yop. The vocal track is completely distracting.

Memory Tapes - Player Piano
--- Quote ---Player Piano, the excellent second album from Memory Tapes is released on Something In Construction in Europe and Carpark in the US. It was, like its predecessor, recorded at Dayve Hawke’s home studio in rural New Jersey, where he juggles looking after his young daughter and being a musician. 'Seek Magic' was released properly in March 2010 and has since sold over 30,000 copies worldwide. It received almost exclusively excellent reviews. Memory Tapes debuted his live show in January 2010 in Manchester, England and has since criss-crossed North America and played shows all across Europe and as far away as Australia. His remixes of the likes of Crystal Castles, Gucci Mane and Britney Spears have had consistent acclaim. The template / motif for 'Player Pian'o was that it would be “keyboard-based psychedelic girl group songs, a sort of Motown suicide note” and so it is. Largely eschewing modern beats this time in favour of “drums that sound like The Kinks’ 60s records”, there are still the spaces of modern R’n’B, along with 50s doo wop, krautrock and a couple of nods to Aphex Twin. Dayve is already working on Memory Tapes’ third album, which is going to be a “space rock, kind of Sabbath” guitar based set. So, while 'Seek Magic' was quite an electronic sounding record with lots of dance music tropes, 'Player Piano' is all about the melody. Simply put, there are lots of catchy tunes here, singalong choruses throughout the album and songs that feel very immediate and accessible, despite consistently dark lyrics that describe a disconnected mindset and a profound sense of isolation. There is a painterly aspect to the composition that gives the album a bright, clear arc that describes a deceptively simple picture taken as a whole, despite the fact there are hugely contrasting tunes within. And then again, within each song there are very playful twists and turns, wrong-headed arrangements and some very unusual instrumentation, from 70s Hammond organs to Clavioline (as heard of Del Shannon’s Runaway) and footsteps crunching through snow. Memory Tapes doesn’t use sequencing software and has played each instrument in the studio himself. Some of the elements are played deliberately off-key or out of synch to give the slightly warped yet warm feel that works so beautifully against the topline melodic aspects.

Washed Out - Within And Without
--- Quote ---Mr Chillwave himself justifies the hype generated by his early EPs with nine effortlessly blissful slices of warped songcraft. Washed Out is the operational alias for Atlanta, GA's Ernest Greene, and Weird World release the first Washed Out full-length, 'Within And Without'. Greene recorded 'Within And Without' with Ben Allen, who, among a great many other things, co-produced Animal Collective's 'Merriweather Post Pavillion', Gnarls Barkley's 'St Elsewhere' and Deerhunter's 'Halcyon Digest'. In 2009 Washed Out released two critically-acclaimed eps; 'Life Of Leisure' (Mexican Summer) and 'High Times' (Mirror Universe Tapes). Washed Out submerges a sense of intense feeling within its '80s-fantasy electronic ether. the yearning-in-utero effect is strongest on woozy centerpiece 'Feel It All Around'. With blurry singing, cheap-sounding synths, and a humid, syrupy flow, the track suggests an '80s synth pop hit that won't come straight out and cop to itself - or a young man in love, too tongue-tied (or too stoned?) to admit it.
