Last summer, jazz trio Bad Bad Not Good showed the world another side of the depth and darkness of the music of Tyler the Creator and Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All with their Goblin medley. Now, the guys have returned with a new mixtape that attacks on all genre fronts. Continue reading »
Fans of indie wünderkind James Blake love him not just for his songwriting abilities, but also for his producing expertise. His abilities to manipulate blips and layered vocals make his songs exceptional. The Bamboos’ soul rendition of his “The Wilhelm Scream,” though, moves things far away from computers and production.

You might not be familiar with UK singer-songwriter Stella Le Page, but she sure is familiar with some of your favorite artists. Her musical resume includes skills on the piano, keyboard and cello, as well as her former position as synth player for Primary 1 and cello player for Plan B. She hasn’t released a CD yet now that she’s broken out on her own, but she was kind enough to deliver an extremely well done cover song EP titled Home Covers. The EP includes 8 full length songs, including covers of pop superstars Robyn and Lady Gaga, as well as indie-alternatives like James Blake and Little Dragon. Continue reading »

James Blake gained mass amounts of blogosphere attention before his first LP was even released. The first single off of this self-titled album, “The Wilhelm Scream” is full of isolated drums and beats, but simple lyrics balance out the electronics. New York duo Awning, however, strips any notion of dubstep and brings the song back to their own singer-songwriter roots. Continue reading »
This Week on Bandcamp rounds up our favorite covers to hit the site in the past seven days.
For no apparent reason that we can figure out, Bandcamp exploded with covers this week. Eyeballing the selection, there seem to be almost three times as many new covers posted as in weeks past. Or maybe artists are just catching on that tagging your track “cover” makes it easy for us to find. Take note!
As a result, our five favorites this week are among our five favorites of this entire series. Granted, it’s only three weeks old. This week, in fact, we had so many contenders we tacked on three bonus covers at the end. Download all eight below. Continue reading »
