Foamo | Foamo.net Mixtape

I still cannot fathom how more people haven't heard of Kye Gibbon, the UK producer known as Foamo. Over the past couple years Foamo has been smashing the HypeMachine charts time and time again with his excellent remixes [Major Lazer, La Roux, Man Like Me] and his equally banging solo tracks ["Rockerman", "Everything Cool", "Wardance", etc.]

At the ripe age of 22, Foamo has enjoyed an ongoing residency at The Fat! Club in London, crafting his signature sound that combines the primal force of jungle/garage/grime beats with wobbly fidget-house bass. [Coachella missed the boat again in bringing over some woefully repetitive 'dubstep' over this guy]
His first Fat! Club mix was an instant classic and to celebrate his new website going live, Foamo has resurfaced with another free mix that showcases his eclectic taste and his unique ability to venture all over the spectrum of his favorite genres. Perfect for grimy dance parties.

Download: Yeasayer | I Remember EP

I got so much love to give. The music industry has offered several Valentine's gifts today, all of which are substantially better than candy hearts that taste like colored chalk. (Yes, we've all tried colored chalk.)

Yeasayer continue to win my undying love by offering yet another free download, and this time it comes in the form of a FREE EP of their latest single + remixes, featuring the Odd Blood cut "I Remember", along with an official video for the song. The band also announced a summer tour with a convenient gap in their June itinerary that would be excellent for a Bonnaroo appearance. [EDIT: apparently this made too much sense.]

  

In other news, Radiohead resumed world domination by announcing their newest LP entitled The King of Limbs which releases in a mere five days. [Saturday, February 19th] Sadly, it is not free this time.  At this point it sounds like 2k11 is already saved, and that Carles may have been justified in lamenting over 2k10. Only Radiohead could overshadow Arcade Fire winning Best Album, free Yeasayer, and upcoming records from Panda Bear and the Strokes. Happy Valentines Day to you too, Thom.

The Strokes | "Under Cover of Darkness"

The first single from the Strokes' equivalent of Chinese Democracy, entitled Angles, is now available on their website as a free download. The song is called "Under Cover of Darkness" and begins to confirm the return to their Is This It form that the music world has been craving for so long. Listen to a stream below, and don't fight the urge to high-five everyone in the room.

Stream: Toro y Moi | Underneath The Pine

This ain't your father's chillwave. That is, if you were born last year, when Toro y Moi's Causers of This was released. Cementing his spot on the chillwave Mt. Rushmore, creator Chaz Bundick showed prodigious glimpses of his knack for funky, danceable jams on tracks like "Talamak" and the chillwave flag-bearer "Blessa." Chaz has decided to move past the heavily-sampling methods on Causers of This to a fleshed-out disco vibe on his sophomore LP, Underneath the Pine. The album is now streaming in full over at the Urban Outfitters blog, and it also contains an interview with Chaz about the record. [LINK]

After the jump: check out the awesome DIY-flavored videos from the first two tracks to leak off of the LP, "Still Sound" and "New Beat." [joyous dance moves]
