Julian Plenti is… Skyscraper is the debut solo album from Paul Banks (AKA Julian Plenti), the lead singer of Interpol.  I’ve been playing this track and a couple of others a lot but I haven’t checked out the whole album yet.  Based on what I’ve heard so far, I’m really looking forward to it.

The Big Pink released the first single from their upcoming debut album A Brief History of Love.  ”Dominos” is catchier than the other songs I’ve heard but it still captures the psychedelic electro-rock sound that made tracks like “Velvet” and “Too Young To Love” popular with their early fans.  Check out the sampler below courtesy of MusicFromTheBigPink.com.

There’s something about the style of Fink‘s music that I really like.  ”Pretty Little Thing” perfectly embodies whatever it is that I like so much about Fink.  There’s some kind of unsettling simplicity to his music that comes off as very cool to me.  It could be something left over from Fink’s days as an obscure electronic act but his music now is far from what it was back then.  ”Nothing Is Ever Finished” is one of my favorite songs from his new album Sort of Revolution.

Washed Out is Ernest Greene and the guy makes some very interesting music.  It’s basically just Green singing over slowed down, 80′s style funky dance music.  I usually keep my distance from this kind of lo-fi underground dance music but I really like these tracks. MP3: Washed Out – “Feel It All Around” MP3: Washed Out – “You’ll See It” MP3: Washed Out – “New Theory” l_8a7f427b07e74f638862ab7102b21e1b]]> http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2009/08/weekly-dose-8909/feed/ 0
