SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Paperfangs - 'Lifelong' I fell in love with Finland's Paperfangs just over a year ago I reckon - in fact it was on November 9th 2010 - a Tuesday. I like their mix of both acoustic and electronic instruments - and their use of samples. I also quite like the singer - his melancholy but romantic voice reminds me a bit of Dntel's Jimmy Tamborello and in another way Jon Marsh from The Beloved. Back in 2010 I could only feature one song per post due to Fb issues so I posted their first two songs separately. You can revisit one of their first releases - and their very first video - for 'Books' here: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2010/11/summersradio-new-music-paperfangs.html
Today we have a brand new Paperfangs song called 'Lifelong' that's just been released on Soundcloud this week! If it's to your liking it's available as a free download here: http://soundcloud.com/paperfangs/lifelong (or click on the download arrow below) and you can keep up with the band on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/Paperfangs
'Lifelong' features an enthusiastic (and possibly insane) sounding child's vocal sample - great keyboard sounds - and the wonderfully simple yet romantic lyric(s) 'You said lifelong/ is it still on'. It also has some kind of cool bell - not cow per se - perhaps tubular :) ... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Classic! Dntel - 'Dream Of Evan And Chan' (Superpitcher Kompakt Remix) This song is from Dntel's 2001 album 'Life Is Full Of Possibilities'. What makes it a classic is that this track features vocals and lyrics from Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard - and it was this collaboration that led to the forming of the Postal Service and their debut release in 2003. This version is from the single released in 2002 - the 'Superpircher Kompakt Remix'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Dntel - 'After Parties' Dntel is L.A. resident Jimmy Tamborello - who also records under the name James Figurine - and is also half of the Postal Service! He's releasing the first new Dntel music since 2007's 'Dumb Luck' next week called 'After Parties'. It contains 8 tracks - all instrumental! It's available on two 12"'s, and in the words of his label Sub Pop also as "weightless, odorless digital audio files" but not on cd! This is the first and title track... Enjoy!
