Some of your favorite Untz bloggers had the privilege of catching BRAHMS last weekend. For the uninitiated, this is Cale Parks’ latest brooding synthpop project. I just picked up their remix of Neon Indian’s classic “Psychic Chasms,” and it certainly is a jam. This version has more of a grooving beat and some great choppy vocals that are a step up from the original.

A while back, Lazersaurus Rex posted an awesomely trippy, spaced out jam from Active Child called “Body Heat (So Far Away).” I’ve been listening to the song ever since and have gotten pretty into Active Child. Their slow motion synthy beats with reverb dripping dubbed out handclaps and beautiful falsetto vocals are pure escapism. Here’s a song by them called “When Your Love is Safe,” that’s perfect for the end of a long night out on the floor.

Active Child also served up this remix of Wolf Gang’s latest single “Back to Back” that takes the original to a whole new level. More of the same booming beats with Wolf Gangs vocals fitting perfectly.

Over the winter we posted a demo from Worcester punkers Golden Girls. They recently released their ULTIMATE FREEDOM EP, and although it’s a little more produced sounding it still retains the raw energy of their early songs. “Newports” is a straight ahead rocker to get you through the week.
To finish things up, here’s a great little ditty from lo-fi surf popsters Best Coast. I’ve always been down with their sunny 60s sound filtered through a haze of overdrive and reverb. “Wish He Was You” is a bittersweet love song with a twist that comes out in the first line. Beach day bliss sold separately.
