Mount Kimbie and King Krule - Blue Train Lines

Six pounds in my pocket
I threw another man's change
Lose another man's six
I guess he might have seen it all

I've been wanting to share this one for a couple weeks now, but it's been too damn sunny and hot here in Austin, Texas. 'Blue Train Lines" is a powerful sound from post-dubstep duo Mount Kimbie. They're here doing their thing, but the real highlight are the gritty, snarling vocals of Archy Marshall, aka King Krule (yeah, the Donkey Kong villain). It's a song best reserved for nighttime, rain and maybe subway trains. It's a dark and stormy day here in Austin, so this will do just fine. If you like this check out "Easy, Easy" and the rest of King Krule's stuff.

Good Old War - Part of Me

We've got to run
If you're holding on the seams will come undone
And you'll only get part of me
We don't want to catch a break while we're playing it safe
You'll only get part of me

File this new cut from Good Old War under "mellow" and then hit play. Good Old War has had a few songs cross my radar over the last couple years, and I recently heard of them again as they were the backing effort to Anthony Green's (of Circa Survive) tour, which seemed a bit odd at first, but after some listening, ok a lot of listening, began to make sense. "Part of Me" is a pretty song and perfect for a chill Sunday morning.

The Polish Ambassador - Take Wing

Now here's an interesting track for your Saturday. It's an upbeat instrumental number from DJ/Producer David Sugalski, AKA The Polish Ambassador, and it could work either as a wake-up or a warm up. It's versatile like that. If you enjoy it, you'll probably dig the rest of his latest release, The Color of Flight, which mixes eclectic sounds, inventive melodies with some really sweet beats.
