The New Rochelle Rotary Club

I'm having a really terrible time at work this morning because I've got a cold and I keep getting bad sinus headaches and it hurts to look at the monitor, but I found something this morning that I think most of you will really like.

Although The New Rochelle Rotary Club sounds like it would be a large collective of musicians, it is in fact, just one guy. Will Benoit dwells somewhere in a valley between lo-fi pop and electronica, running back and forth creating sounds and sometimes blending the two worlds together. His debut on Radar Recordings is a double album, disc one, Vol. 1 The Tide Below, focusing on his more pop-driven efforts and the other, Vol. 2 Air Currents, being more on the modern electronica side. With such a diverse range of styles, there's pretty much something for everyone here, or if you're like me, you'll probably just like all of it. Vol. 1 RIYL: The Flaming Lips, Travis Morrison, John Frusciante; Vol. 2 RIYL: Aphex Twin, M83, Autechre.

From Vol. 1 The Tide Below

In Scottish guitar rock news, Pitchfork wasn't exactly blown away by Mogwai's Mr. Beast, although, I can't really blame them, considering how great the album could have been, it was a bit of a letdown. Also in Rock Action news, Part Chimp will be heading to the U.S. for a rather large tour through most of March with Oxford Collapse. Dates dates dates.

GvB, lover of all things Sound Team, has two tracks from sunset}}}}}}}}}}, Bill Baird of Sound Team's multi-named solo project. I highly recommend downloading "Bourbon," it's so so so so good.
