Los Angeles Police Dept :: "Waste"

A fuzzed-out slow-drive, Los Angeles Police Dept offer up new single, "Waste". Like a mixture of Yuck and the Pixies "Where Is My Mind", "Waste" heads nowhere specific, churning through layers of fuzz to arrive at lyrics that largely play on the title like, "waste of my time". The last half features the band's architect, Ryan Pollie clipping out toward the top of his range. This might well be an anthem, but it isn't interested in making the listener feel especially comfortable.

Anto Dust :: "Eyeless In London"

Like a slow-dance at the edge of space-time, or maybe you could make a case for a blissed-out ode to "Where Is My Mind", Londoners, Anto Dust take the listener into a beautiful, twisting orbit on latest single, "Eyeless In London". Largely the product of a modulated guitar riff, the arrangement glides up and down effortlessly, aided and abetted by the charming, distant vocal of the band's mastermind, Anto Cossu. Dream-pop with an emphasis on the subconscious, something nearly lost, "Eyeless In London" resounds as a night drive through halfway remembered sounds and places, itself, instantly memorable.
