l’Orange: Old Soul

Browsing Bandcamp, the Billie Holiday cover art to l’Orange’s Old Soul caught my attention. The music is not for everybody – some may find it repetitive – but I love it, film clips and all. You will hear Billie Holiday as never before, and another unique voice, that of Kelsey Lu. On “Lost Souls,” you’ll also hear Hassaan Mackey spitting those rhymes. I love the fact that “I’ll Be Seeing You” is sampled on the final track, “The Mourning.” The word transcendent is overused these days, but this one fits the definition: extending beyond the limits of ordinary experience. You can download the entire album for free below…

Hem’s spectacularly brilliant Funnel Cloud is now available as a free, 100% legal full album download! Enter your email into the Noisetrade widget below to access the mp3s. I called Funnel Cloud a “nearly perfect album” in my original review and included it on my Top Albums of 2006 and Best Albums of the Decade lists. I’ve grown to love the album even more in subsequent years and think “Great Houses of New York” is one of the most beautiful and classic songs of all time.

Introducing Dysphemic & Miss Eliza

I stumbled upon Dysphemic & Miss Eliza’s brilliant, beautiful and very cool EP, Synthetic Symphony, while browsing Bandcamp and it seems they’ve not been discovered by the world at large yet. The Australian duo are kindred spirits of Luminescent Orchestrii, playing – and apparently “pioneering” – what they deem “Classical Dub-step” music. Strings and beats, people, it’s fantastic!

DJ/Producer/MC Dysphemic (a.k.a. Julian Treweeke) and classically-trained violinist Miss Eliza met at a rave, soon fell in love and eventually joined forces to make music. Their website asks us the question: “Ever wondered what a violin making sweet, sweet love to a sub-woofer sounds like?” Wonder no more. Dysphemic & Miss Eliza’s 6-song EP, Synthetic Symphony, is available as a Name Your Price (including free) download at Bandcamp…
