Culver City Dub Collective - The Cave: Soothing dub for the Monday blues

Culver City Dub Collective's debut release Dos - Taken from Bandcamp

Get ready, 'cause we've got some more beachy sounds coming your way! This time, courtesy of Culver City Dub Collective's release "Dos", and the opening track for the record "The Cave". The song relies heavily on groove and melody, combining the Melodica, an unusual instrument for this kind of music, with the more traditional winds, keys, guitars, bass and drums. Some nice additional background vocals fit perfectly with the musical environment, transporting you to the rocky reefs, feeling the wind softly wheezing through your messy hair, and the sun burning your skin.

This tune is such a perfect sample of beach sounds that it was featured in the surf film Brokedown Melody. How's that for a beachy feeling?. 

There's really not a lot to say about this song except this: if you miss the beach as much as I do, then this is the sonic equivalent to actually being there. As usual, check out the song right here, right now, in the embedded track below. Leave us a comment and stay tuned for more Ew, what's that touching my feet action!

The Murlocs - Space Cadet: Australia's space project comes to light

Holy duck, that's an awesome cover - Loopholes by The Murlocs. Taken from Bandcamp

All aboard! I guess... Welcome to today's first installment of your annoying daily series. Today we have a very special guest all the way from culturally rich Melbourne in your favorite continent, Australia.

The Murlocs were formed in 2011, proudly wielding their distinctive brand of psyched out Rhythm & Blues, featuring quirky-yet-inspiring harp playing, single coil bite in their guitar sound, powerful and memorable bass lines and fitting drums. 

Do you feel like taking a little trip out of orbit? Say no more: merging the best of black American music with the more polished California sound, Space Cadet feels psychedelic without resorting to a huge amount of effects, just using the power of get-you-butt-on-the-danceflo' songwriting. Soon you'll find yourself swirling around millions of shades of colour, sweating due to the intense singing (seriously, it just imparts power!) and mouthing harp sounds like an idiot. A happy idiot that is. 

Lasting just over 3 minutes, you'll probably want to replay it, so get ready for more. Don't wait around any longer and play the embedded track below. Start dreaming, star gazer! But before you go, leave us a comment below!
