Alpines – Cocoon (Nocturnal Sunshine Remix)

nocturnalsunshine

The ubiquitous Alpines track is excellently remixed by Maya Jane Coles a/k/a Nocturnal Sunshine. Ms. Coles spins a darker, dub-ier, almost techno-tinged wrap onto the mix. We like it. What do y’all think?

The Kills – One Silver Dollar (Marilyn Monroe)

thekills

The Kills take Marilyn Monroe’s ballad of the old west into a bit more quieter, sparer place. Mosshart or GTFO.

Radiohead – Separator (Four Tet Remix)

radiohead3

Radiohead continue their long march towards shining up that gloomy shitbrick of an LP they dropped earlier this year. This time “Separator” gets the A-List remix treatment via the Four Tet man. The mix is one part spaceballs, one part Massive Attack’s “Teardrop”, and one part “pretty good” remix. See if you can sort all those parts out for yourself below.

Your fav 90’s revivalists, Grouplove are all set to release their debut album Never Trust a Happy Song on 13 Sep (US) and 5 Sep (UK). The bouncy, catchy “Tongue Tied” is the LP’s lead single. Watch the Grouplove crew wylin out backwards in 3-D (if only more of life could be experienced this way) in the cool clip for the track below.

RAVE’S FAVES: Teddybears – Crystal Meth Christian (Feat. The Flaming Lips)

teddybears2

Lot’s of ace tracks on this TeddyBears album. “Crystal Meth Christian” features The Flaming Lips. You can really feel the Lips’ influence on this track. It feels like something they would have put on an album of their own. Contributed by Bruce Rave

Houtakker – Judy, Judy

chicago

“Judy, Judy” by Houttaker, a member of Infinite Best band Distractions, is beautiful. It’s the sort of soulful, reverb-drenched, cascading track that many bands and artists with much higher profiles don’t seem to do nearly as well. A major highlight (and there are many) of the tune comes at about 1:30 when a wall of deep-in-the-p.a. guitar leads come down into the track. That minute or so instrumental is maybe one of our favorite bits of music we’ve heard so far this year. It’s that cool. See what you think below.

The Jim Jones Revue – High Horse

elvis2

So sometimes when deciding what to feature on b3sci, we ask ourselves a pretty simple question: “Would the legendary James Brown actually be into this? Would he like this record? Would he “feel good” listening to it?” Well, JB would prob be into this track, no doubt, but I think a more appropriate music legend litmus test to use on The Jim Jones Revue’s “High Horse” is “Would Elvis be into this? Would Elvis want to give this tune a second spin, or would he rather go eat a peanut butter and bananers sandwich?” Hmmmm. So would Elvis likely be into “High Horse”? We are thinking….”Uh huh.”

Aloe Blacc – Billie Jean

aloe2

“Billie Jean” is one of MJ’s signature songs. There is no doubting that. But the iconic 1983 track may have found a new guardian on earth now that the King of Pop has passed. Aloe’s cover here of “Billie Jean” with a live string accompaniment is nothing short of stunning. Props to MADE for putting this performance together.
