Unknowable Knowns by Maaik

Maaik — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 06:37:28 -0800

I released a new EP today! All songs I recorded in and around my house in the last year. This song started off much more stripped down and it feels all grown up now. That's my brother on the drums

Reconstruction (Nothing but the Rain) by Bluebird Wine

Bluebird Wine — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 15:24:45 -0800

This is a "reconstruction" of my most popular song, "Nothing but the Rain," that came out last fall. Formerly a more mellow folksy song, the vocals are different and there is more energetic instrumentation. Can be found in all the usual digital places (Spotify, iTunes, Soundcloud, etc.) under my name "MK Ellison." Enjoy!

Down a Hole by TheNegativeInfluence

Little bit o' indie, little bit o' sadboy, whole lotta pitchy singing. There's a swear in there, so watch out!

If you like Superchunk and the Ramones and wished they had recorded together.

A song about surviving a pretty wild and punk rock youth. I wrote and recorded this under the name Dame Kraft. It will be cleaned up and made better and eventually released.

All your big dreams, you can't go wrong. Get fit with the AC on...

She's a spy, a good one too. Speciality — sneaking up on you...

Get Real Girl by ZipRibbons

Chin up. Keep acting like you've got it made. We both know you ain't. You're laughing but it's true.

All this time, dipping your fingers in my bowl...

Perilous Motion by Annika Cicada

Here's a chewy demo, work in progress. If you like Seam and Superchunk this is in that vein.

Asleep at the Knife by es_de_bah

es_de_bah — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 19:02:46 -0800

Turns out my version of the serenity prayer involves a lot more quantum sci-fi and psycho-killer imagery. Been working on this for a good while, trying to figure out how to program drums for a slow 6/8 time. Pretty happy with how it finally came together, but I'd love some pointers. Still worried it's a bit too saturated, but that's kinda my MO. Lyrics in the fold.

Take It With You by Annika Cicada

Re-Recording of a song I wrote some 20 years ago. Happy Sad Spacey Dream Pop.

Like Math by Maaik

Maaik — Fri, 19 May 2017 14:29:51 -0800

The finished version of a song I posted back in February. Way louder this time around. Just thought y'all might be interested in hearing how this progressed once I got real drums, bass and guitar on it. It feels like I recorded that original demo at once yesterday and a million years ago. More of this kind of thing here.

The Killing Floor by saulgoodman

saulgoodman — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 06:12:41 -0800

This is a really rough early home studio demo of a song in development for my new recording project, The Wishing Well Divers' "Tragicomic Americana." Ironically, just as I've been working on this song, which thematically concerns stigmitization and marginalization, and well, being face down on the floor, I had a health scare last night that left me literally face down on the bathroom floor for a half hour. I've got no job, health insurance, family support, or cash cushion right now, so this song has taken on new personal meanings for me just since I started recording it a couple of days ago, with new worries about health problems and their potential to make it harder to find work and insurance.

My Secret Marilyn Monroe by saulgoodman

saulgoodman — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 18:47:32 -0800

About 24 years ago, between 1992--1995 or so, I played in a popular art rock band in Panama City, Florida, called Killing Darlings. An old friend recently gave me access to his stash of the lo-fi recordings we produced over the years with that band, and this is one of them. There's a longer playlist of recovered tracks over here on Sound Cloud.

The First Kiss by Annika Cicada

Pretty guitars and synths and lots of delay and a deep and lovely bass line to boot.

Instance - go with it by Annika Cicada

Here's the B side "go with it" from my latest project, Instance.

Some kind of indie rock song.

H. Factor by Brodyaga

Brodyaga — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:22:34 -0800

Some of the most inspiring music out there focuses on the positive elements of humankind and society, blah blah blah. But there comes a time when even musicians' gearing towards that tendency get fed up and write something outside of their 'regular' thematic 'boundaries'. This seems to be the case with this Ummagma song. Enjoy and visit the band on Facebook...

Balkanofellini + bonus @Ummagma by Brodyaga

Brodyaga — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 18:50:25 -0800

There is one thing that I really admire in certain artists and that is flexibility. I love it when a band can perform across a spectrum of genres and especially when they manage to pull it off well. Starting out with Ummagma 's Balkanofellini, which seems appropriately named when you envision those awesome soundtracks to all of Federico Fellini's films (by Nino Rota), combined with all the Balkan eclecticism of Emir Kusturica's films (soundtrack by Goran Bregović). Well there you have it. A hybrid. Thought you might also like a few quick offerings of other Ummagma tracks, so here is Human Factor a">, Risky , NIMBY, and Upsurd, Orion , BFD and Outside

stupid sexy monsters by es_de_bah

Punked up waltz about how to avoid bedbugs. Still a little iffy on how the vocals are mixed. Thoughts?

Merry Xmas by grumpybear69

Did my best Yo La Tengo impression for this misanthropic (and so timely!) track about the holidays.

Ambiguous Sense of the Future by Brodyaga

Brodyaga — Sun, 20 Apr 2014 09:15:58 -0800

Powerful swirling and driving full sonic force, enveloped in a mishmash of postrock, shoegaze, and noise rock.

BFD by Brodyaga

Brodyaga — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 13:30:09 -0800

Eastern European countries are home to remarkably sounding native folk music, and it is particularly welcome when any element, or even remnant, of that is mixed in with any form modern music. What a grande fusion it can be. That is what we feel happened with this song.

Pick me Up by srednivashtar

Surprisingly jaunty for us, with a descent into ultra-fast strumming at the end.
