Coloreater - "Prickle Dripper"

"Coloreater - Prickle Dripper"

wowee. For those that don't know, Coloreater is the solo project of Dom from Ship Ship. He's always had some rad tunes and performances, but when "Prickle Dripper" debuted on 91.5's Indie Queens radio show the other night, we were all pretty floored. A bonified Post-Aquarium masterpiece, this track sets the bar pretty high. Plus it's phonetically confusing and I almost always want to call it pickle dripper or pickle dipper which is sooo vulgar. It's like the gift that keeps on giving.

Seagrass Diov - New and old trax

"Seagrass Diov - New You" - Super Recommended
"Seagrass Diov - Good Deal"

Two rad woozy tunes coming to you from Lansing's Seagrass Diov. I was truly blown away when I first heard "New You". The vocals are so off-kilter and unhinged in such a muted and subtle way. I really love the processing he uses on his vox.

"Good Deal" is similarly unhinged and bare, but rather than using the same drum machine/organ formula of "New You", he limits things to just a very melancholy,wistful, and spare piano melody. Combined with his vocals, the effect is both breathtakingly beautiful and very, very broken. Really diggin these tunes, keep an eye out for more of his stuff, add him on myspace, etc.
