Think we all respectfully disagreed with Mike D's claim that The Mix-Up would be a "post-punk instrumental album" when we heard "The Rat Cage," but "Off The Grid" may change your mind a bit after two minutes of typical In Sounds funk. Checking in with the voluminous bounce of Mike D's fro is a bonus.
UPDATE: "The Rat Cage" vid after the jump. (Thanks, Russell!)

Earlier this year we shined a light Swedish pop outfit the LK and their electro lovely, wintry gem "Stop Being Perfect." Had we known the band had a side project sooner, we probably would have written sooner. Instead, we came...

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...

I dig it a lot. It's gonna be a great record for summer barbecues. This was the direction I'd always thought they would go when they hit their 40's and I'm glad they did.

Sounds pretty good to me. Shitty white-boy funk bands from Providence to Berkeley should take note: it's not virtuosity that counts, it's attitude.

In case no one noticed, they made an official video for "The Rat Cage" too.

Typical case of go with what you know. It's fine and all, but lots of bands do this stuff better. Sounds like a maudlin Mogwai to me. More funky fresh hip hop please.
