The Mercury Program - A Data Learn The Language (2002)

After 5 long years of no new stuff, the Gainsville, Florida quartet will release their new album this spring on Lovitt records (Engine motherfuckin Down, Pygmy Lush). Just jizzed my pants over that wonderful thought of a new mercury program album.

If you're getting tired of the crescendocore aspects of post-rock (explosions in the sky, caspian, this will destroy you), get ready to be refreshed and hypnotized with The Mercury Program. Dave Lebleu is one of the best drummers in the sceneright now (imo). He can be all over the place without being too in your face sort-a-kinda way. This is perfect headphone music, travelling music, reading that new script you've got from the internet, or staring blankly at the ceiling in an emo kind of way. Anyways, grab it at the bottom. Ciao!

Castevet - I Know What A Lion Is (2008)

Castevet is a melodic beard punk quartet from the windy city. If Small Brown Bike met Caspian - and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, Bear Vs. Shark and Victor Villareal with a beard met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked - this would be the shit that they birthed It's a product of Baby fucking.

Kidding aside, if you're a fan of such aforementioned bands, or you have an insanely awesome beard. You'll prolly eat this up. Been listening to this the past few days. This 3 songs serves as a prelude to their upcoming full length, Summer Fences, which will be released this summer on Count Your Lucky Stars records. Add them up on their myspace too, They have 704 friends as of now, so you could brag to all your friends how you listened to them way before alot of people jocks them in every thread in the internet. Seriously, they are insanely good.

And yes, they named themselves from Rosemary's Baby, so that's awesome in my book.

RIYL: Small Brown Bike, Bear Vs. Shark, Ghosts & Vodka, Beards in general
