Foxygen – Shuggie

Foxygen is coming out with another brilliant track, which sounds like it was found on some old 60s vinyl. However, Foxygen, is anything but old. The band started in 2005, but did not get much attention until their Take the Kids Off Broadway EP in 2011. Foxygen sound is right out of the avante guard psychedelic movement of the 60s, but put into a modern day context to keep it fresh. With an androgenous lead sounding lead singer who seems to resemble Dylan's wispy lyrical format, Foxygen give you a feeling of sitting somewhere in the past, but with all the modern comforts of today. Shuggie, is a complex track with almost 4 completely separate parts that seems to have little if any correlation to each other. However, they come together to create a truly unique an enjoyable track.

Los Amigos Invisibles - Cuchi Cuchi

I was lucky enough to get lost at Tour de Fat in Denver this past summer and stumble (literally) into Los Amigos Invisibles. And let me tell ya...they really turned me on to their communist Venezuelan ways by handing out a healthy and equal dose of funk to the common man. Case and point:

"In the year 3000 the Bolivar republic of Venezuela launched its first expedition on the Arepa 3000 spaceship. The crew, Los Amigos Invisibles, were in charge of rescuing all the babes that had been kidnapped by the aliens. Due to spilled salsa on the main engines of the Arepa 3000, the ship got swallowed up by a black hole that took them to another world."
