Absofacto - "Backfire"

A lot has changed for Absofacto since his interview with troysnoise last year.  Following their usual habit of spontaneously releasing a single track, "Backfire" emerged a few weeks ago after "it was almost lost forever to a hard drive crash this summer, before Brian and I resurrected it and made it better than the first time around."

Unsurprisingly, the song and its pulsing synths hit the popular charts on hypem last week.

Little Comets - Life Is Elsewhere

It's as if The Kooks mated with Vampire Weekend to create the addictive bliss that is the self-produced Life Is Elsewhere.  Little Comets arrive via Newcastle and their "tricky percussive rhythms and Afro-beat-tinged guitars" are quite glorious.  So kick back and ride this tropic rapture into the sunset, cuz the only way is whoa.

Little Comets - "W - O - E"

Little Comets - "Worry"

Her silhouette is bleaker than a cigarette

Face to face that moves upon

The Salton Sea

As you may know, Troysnoise.com is based in and operates out of lower Manhattan.  No reason to fret however, fortunately we're all in good health and have nothing to complain about compared to so many others out there.  Temporarily relocating to Williamsburg has been quite lovely in fact.  

As always, we're digging up some amazing new content for you and will be back at it as soon as possible.  In the meanwhile, enjoy this appropriately titled jam from one of our favorite new bands that we delivered to you last week.  

Divine Fits - "The Salton Sea"

And here's a rarely posted remix.  Compliments of Goldroom to help lift your spirits.

Little People - We Are But Hunks Of Wood

Little People - "Marzipan Children"

Early last year, Tnoise was one of the first music blogs in the world to discover and share Little People.  As expected, the popularity of Little People soon thereafter took off and in the ensuing months he played gigs and music festivals all over the world.  

Little People - "Aldgate Patterns"

Downtempo brilliance indeed.

If you like our recent post featuring Breakbot and our personal favorite Lemaitre, then you'll be sure to like the fresh album from Moullinex, Lisbon and Munich-based Luis Clara Gomes

Daphni - Jiaolong

New album from Canada's Daphni (also of Caribou).  With catchy, repetitive dance synths, sounds like LCD Soundsystem filtered through a funk machine, mixed in with an ocarina (if you don't know, don't ask) and spiced up with Native American tribal beats.  

Light a campfire, put on a feather headdress and do a rain dance.

Daphni - "Ye Ye"

Daphni - "Pairs"

Daphni - "Ahora"

Breakbot - By Your Side

Whether it's a catchy riff on a song like "By your Side Part 2" or a new wave power ballad like "Programme", this album from top to bottom will have you toe tappin', groovin' and air piano playin' for 46.4 minutes (or all night long if you have it on repeat like we do).

Compliments of the French producer Breakbot, the album dropped on both sides of the pond September 17th.  If (and when) you buy the album, make sure to pick up your free chocolate.

Boys Noize - Out of the Black

I are you.  Who am I?  Bang bang bang.

Boys Noize - "Ich R U"

New joint off the new album and could be vid of the year.

“It surprises me that friends or fans sometimes prefer the melodic or softer stuff I do, especially on my remixes. I think “Ich R U” is obviously more of a softer one – but it’s still super funky and Disco6000. Again, it has robot vocals, which I prefer to the human one, haha…”

The album is due out Jan. 29, 2013 and it can't arrive soon enough.

Freelance Whales - Diluvia

"Their first gigs took place on New York City streets and subway platforms, and the quintet's music has never strayed far from its organic origins: The songs practically glow with multi-part vocal harmonies, banjos, strings, horns and other mad manmade clatter. On Freelance Whales' new album Diluvia, out Oct. 9, even the synthesizers sound warm, loose and light."

Freelance Whales - "Dig Into Waves"
