Here's the official Death Grips leak:

Death Grips - NO LOVE DEEP WEB

Code Select Expand

http://www.mediafire.com/?mx4g29xqs8915r5

Here's my favorite song off of it:
[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/deathgrips/death-grips-no-love[/soundcloud]

Zach Hill on an electronic drumset, plus another dude making bizarre beats, and MC Ride screaming in your face about being a badass motherfucker. It's just as weird as you would expect it to be. Oh, the album art I posted is censored; it was originally just a dick with the album title written on it.

[TheFuriousWombat]

Woah that Death Grips album is awesome. It's strange as hell, but I'm really digging it. Maybe gonna see them live now, although I can see that being more weird than good.

[leftandleaving]

You should check out their other two. I'll get links for them at some point, but their other two are better albums. Ex-Military is their first, it's got about half super catchy songs, mostly a ton of fun. Their second, The Money Store, is really dark, but the hooks are BOSS on it. This most recent one is just straight up bizarre, I don't know how I feel about it yet.

[valley_parade]

Worth noting, that Frank Turner album is not new material, but rather a hand-picked compilation of mostly older stuff.

If you've never heard him before, it's a great starting point!

[minus_the_david]

that's what i thought too. i just found out about frank turner about 2 months ago when i saw him live with a friend. and he blew my mind. i came home and obsessively found everything i could of his. this is the newest release, but not new. lots of good material though.

Alps! They need somebody. Alps! Not just anybody.

Aiming for the toppermost of the poppermost, Sic and the gang wave their mangled wand — and lo! The hits just keep on a-comin'. Self-titled just it's just their selves. This could be the album of the year — doesn't matter what year you're reading this either. Sic Alppeal is eternal.
-Drag City

http://www.dragcity.com/products/sic-alps

Sic Alps have always seemed like an especially and uniquely Californian band to me. To my frayed east-coast nerves, Mike Donovan has sounded impossibly calm for the band's entire body of work, but their delicately distorted palette and deconstructed, shambolic rhythms betray a single-mindedness that I usually associate with New England. That seemingly oxymoronic relaxed focus has always been something for a psychedelic-minded musician to aspire to, and it rarely sounds more attainable than on Sic Alps.

Donovan's arrangements have come a long way since Sic Alps' days as a two-piece, when everything was washed in fuzz and reverb, nearly to the point of inaudibility. The strings, keys and layered guitar sounds on Sic Alps show that the band — including dummer Douglas Armour, bassist Tim Hellman and former Comets on Fire electrician Noel von Harmonson — is interested in more than treading water, and by invoking the mid-career self-titled record, it's clear Donovan thinks the band is onto something. This progression, and the sonic and stylistic clarity that comes with it, has ambitiously refined Sic Alps' take on a California-by-way-of-Canterbury sound. "Rock Races" is cinematic and moody walking-home music, and "Moviehead" kind of sounds like The Monkees, but they're both great; they work together in part because of Donovan's guilelessness, and in part because Sic Alps as a project has had the patience to craft an identity where both styles sound equally plausible. (It seems appropriate to mention here that the Sic Alps singles compilation is called A Long Way Around To a Shortcut.)

Considering Ty Segall is an on-and-off member of the band, I'm not about to call anyone out for mentioning Sic Alps in the same breath as west-coast contemporaries with whom their music has basically nothing in common. Sic Alps' thoughtfulness distinguishes them, though, and it's begun to pay dividends by allowing Donovan to experiment with barely-there piano tracks like finale "See You On the Slopes" without seeming like a dilettante. John Dwyer's ambition and attention to detail are similar, but his Oh Sees have tended to operate in Northern California's hill-bombing freakout mode, whereas Donovan and Sic Alps have always seemed more content in the Golden State's fields of lysergic relaxation.

Sic Alps sidesteps nostalgia, and comes off as less concerned with genre and more concerned with why those sounds came about to begin with. While a lot of their peers have attempted (unsuccessfully, mostly) to beat down the doors of California's psychedelic myth, Sic Alps have taken their time and found their own way there; in doing so they've created one of the best records of the year.

Thee Oh Sees - Castlemania (320)

Code Select Expand

http://www.Mediafire.com/download.php?xxw7cu9hjvl8q5p

Thee Oh Sees, in my opinion, are one of the best bands around right now. I would describe this album as fun pop-rock on acid with a little distortion. Not quite as fast and hard as many of the albums of recent years have been, not nearly as slow as the first 5 or so albums. Feel free to check out the link to the opening track, which always makes me think of some children's puppet movie (on acid).

Rules for this thread:

• Please ensure your tags are correct, and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.  It's good to give pointers to what the music is like, too.
  
  
• No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at your favourite image hosting site (e.g. http://imageshack.us).
  
  
• 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, not uncommonly contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.
  
  
• Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This helps prevent 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.
  
  
• The forum software automatically changes the name MF to avoid being found by search engines - remember to correct it when using the URLs you find here.
  
  
• Please do NOT request albums; this includes requests for re-uploads.  If you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.
