On this week’s Monday Morning Tape…
…lots of goodness to check out after taking last week off — we’ve got time for neither jibba nor jabba.
Happy Monday.

Louis Berry – Restless
Well this is just fantastic — a little Langhorne Slim vocal rasp (albeit a couple octaves lower), a little “Where the Streets Have No Name” guitar delay/reverb, and a whole lotta fun.
To use a phrase that almost surely doesn’t exist in Mr. Berry’s hometown of Liverpool: “Giddy-up.”
—
Brett Newski – Garage
A good song, appropriately titled.
Land Air Sea Garage is 11 days old and is ready to be your favorite retro-sounding Replacements-ish album of the year.

Bon Iver – 22 (Over Soon) [Bob Moose Extended Cab Version] / 10 dEAThbREasT (Extended Version)
Nice to see Mr. Vernon entering the Thom Yorke phase of his career, complete with head-scratching song titles and synthesized bleeps & bloops.
Sometimes it works very well (see the first song below), sometimes it sounds like a bit of a mess (see the second).
The new record from Bon Iveradiohead is due September 30th on Jagjaguwar Records.

Tasseomancy – Do Easy
Canadian twin sisters get weird on the title track from their forthcoming album. The phrase “serene, drug-induced trance” now has a one-song soundtrack.
—
Tyler Lyle – The Farewell Party / Floating Empire
Tyler Lyle writes good songs. It’s just his thing.
And his Secret Lair project is one of the most unique music distribution methods you’ll likely see this year.
—
Father John Misty – Prius Commercial Demo 1
Well of course this guy released a new demo in a damn Prius commercial.
Of course he did.
—
Tyler Childers – Universal Sound
More goodness from Kentucky’s best-kept musical secret.

Until next week, cheers.
