As far as compilations go, this has got to be one of the best I’ve heard in a while. Mexico’s Bad Pop has gone and put together a spectacular compilation, Materia Obscura, full of some of my favorite artists such as Beat Culture, Nomadic Firs, PARENTZ, Pariah Carey, and Steffaloo and introduced me to some new ones like Dalliance and Bedroom. You can download here for free or contribute a donation to help raise money for the production on cassette. Meanwhile take a listen to these:

The more I’ve listened to Nomadic Firs‘ debut S/T LP (out now on Crash Symbols) the more I’m swept in…the more I’m in love with it. Ryan Boos has taken some folk like po like songs and blanketed them in beautiful electronic grime. He’s rehashed rock and roll and freewheeled it into cut up/sampled/delayed synth wonders. There’s even a beach time sunset sonnet dream (“Cover Bombs”) buried in sand and burned by the sun. What really takes me by storm is the true unexpected nature of the LP. There are moments where there’s a fairly concise pop song structure, but other times he just completely lets loose and rides a groove hard the whole song. And because of this…I get lost in this album.

Nomadic Firs (Ryan Boos) has dropped a new single from the upcoming Crash Symbols LP/cassette out May 8th. ”Cover Bombs” is a hammock swing radiation vacation swoon of a song. A song perfect for the sweet springtime weather rolling into the city seeking refuge from a terrible nuclear winter.
