Back, Black and Still Reliable
So, after a much needed vacation, we are back with a stack of brand new Summer tracks that will further blur the genre lines that are often misleading misnomers anyway. Just go with your gut. All of the posted artists and labels have been updated, our Summer site skin has been revealed and there are now 10 Scissor Picks for you to go out and purchase. We stand by each one of them and almost all have a track for preview here on the site. In addition to the ocassionaly special postings like Scissorkick Exclusives, New Promos and From the Crate I've added a new, biweekly posting deemed Old Reliable. These posts will focus on older (but no necessarily old) tracks that have fallen by the wayside yet still sound as fresh and intriguing as they ever have. Given that trends in music come and go so quickly, its important to try and remember those tracks that have a little bit more of a timeless quality. Songs from our recent past (2 to 5 years) that get tragically shelved way before their expiration date.
So, instead of just jumping right into all the new, unreleased post -- look out for Ghosty, Stromba, Skopic, Polycubist vs. Dubliner, Clue to Kalo, ID and Sleeper, Jugoe, Mouse on Mars Live, etc. -- I'm gonna use the first Old Reliable post for a great Midwest Product track, "Swamp," recently added to the impressive roster of artists tapped for Hummer commercials. Sure, it hurts a little bit to hear your favorite artists in an advertisement for an urban status symbol for guys with small pricks but what are you gonna do. The band surely needs the cash to keep putting out great music. It's still a great track, perhaps one of the best combinations of future dub and meditative rock in a long while; an instrumental that seems to get better with every listen. Plaintive, challenging and just enough kinetic energy to keep heads nodding.
