Robot Elephant Records

Free Download - Husband - Flowers and Funerals - Water Over Night and Pre-Order RER010 - Robot Elephant vs. Tundra Dubs 

From the RER side of the compilation comes Husband - a duo comprised of Gianlorenzo and Chiara, hailing out of Italy’s creative ground zero, Bologna. Last years “Love Song / Slow Motion” introduced them to a wider audience, and now they follow up seamlessly with a new relentless jam called “Flowers”. An album is scheduled for later this year- expect new exciting sound transmissions from Bologna soon.

On the Tundra Dubs side, download Water Over Night by Funerals, who are Mollie Wells and Casey Immel-Brown, based out of Columbus / Ohio, where they lately have been hailed as one of the most promising electronic bands coming out of the Buckeye State. Well, if we had anything to say, they should be regarded as one of the most promising electronic bands from the whole US!  Water Over Night showcases our claim - a perfect dark jewel of engaging, sexy midnight techno.

Here is a whole video for the remix posted earlier which can still be downloaded here.

Definitely among Robot Elephant Records favourite Sounds of 2011 - Modern Witch vs. Os Ovni Split 7” and the Modern Witch - In Your Eyes 7”

I wouldn’t have anything to add to feastofbeast:

Modern Witch - In Your Eyes

So bummed I missed this Modern Witch release.  Major sad kittens.  I was all about their last vinyl 7” split with Os Ovni (still available here), but somehow this one drifted under my radar.  Unfortunate cause both tracks are by far their best.  More dynamic and refined with the same dark goth synths you crave…Check you the other track also streamin on SnDcLd here, which has a decidedly Crystal Castles feel to it.

In Your Eyes b/w Black Curtains 7”  - Modern Witch is Ltd to 300 copies and sadly sold out OOP.

Correction it is nearly sold out, but Rough Trade has a couple copies left.  Act quick if you care, I was super psyched!

One can only hope for a full length soon.  Sooner. I want now. 

Previously heres: Modern Witch Desire 7”

Robot Elephant Records favourite Sounds of 2011 - Ourobonic Plague - Gaap

Ourobonic Plague is something like the mad professor of distorted Hip Hop beats with geek lyrics (see Alec Holland Is Dead), cinematic tentaculous drones (see The Kraken) and blackened techno anthems (see Sea Beyond) - and for us definitely one of the most exciting artists to look out for 2012!  He dropped tracks and EPs here and there, and the Gaap EP is the pinnacle of his work, yet…

Robot Elephant Records favourite Sounds of 2011 - Panda Bear - Tomboy

Alright I was a bit lazy lately to follow this up, but now I am posting the rest of our favourite sounds, before we move into fresh territory next week by announcing some releases.

One of the best things this year was definitely Panda Bear -Tomboy. The album is just magnificent, it’s got it’s own very distinct sound, transporting it’s very own emotional note that is somewhere between bliss and melancholy - in that respect it’s following up it’s predecessor Person Pitch perfectly, although it might not reach it’s all round brilliantness - the first half of Tomboy is higher to rate then the second half, with a run of 3 songs in the beginning - “You Can Count On Me”, “Tomboy” and “Slow Motion” that are to be regarded as possibly the best 3 songs this year…
