Weekend tunes for your ears. Enjoy.

Morocco - Old Boys:
It's been quite a long time since I heard anything
from this act, so seeing their name pop up in my
inbox was a surprise. I really think I was
under the impression they had split up. In any
case, this is a nice indie pop tune where both the
vocals and the music are rather inviting. The
Old Boys EP is due out March 13 via Arts And
Crafts.

Jurado - Museum Of Flight:
Nothing Is The News was the first track
released off of Jurado's upcoming album, and it was
fantastic. This, because we all deserve a gift
every now and again, is just as good. I
honestly can't wait to get my hands on the new full
length. Somebody hand it over. Now.
Secretly Canadian will release Maraqopa on
February 21.

Baths - Faster, Harder:
My opinion of this band is still living on the
indecisive side of things, but I don't have any
issue with saying that I really dig this track.
Before you hit play I highly recommend that you grab
a nice pair of headphones so that you can let the
slinky vocals fill your skull. Better Luck
Next Life is due out March 6 on the always
stellar Kanine Records.

- Lathe Biosas:
While I always know what I'm going to get whenever I
sit down to listen to a new track from this act, I
still end up pleased with what blasts out of my
speakers. It's heavy, it's instrumental, and
it's good. Hard to ask for more than that,
right? The Ataraxia/Taraxis EP is set
to be released everywhere on April 10 via Southern
Lord.

Bananas - Rad Times:
This song is ridiculous. It's fairly catchy,
but the music and the vocals all run together and
create a bit of a mess. Still, it's got some
sort of bizarre charm to it that prevents me from
not wanting to keep it on repeat. Like I said,
it's ridiculous. The awesomely titled
Rad Times Xpress IV is due out on Drag City
this upcoming Tuesday.
