Teen Daze :: Holy Holy Holy/Christmas At Sea/Goodnight, Sleep Tight
I don’t have a way to upload music anymore and have no money to pay for hosting, but I’d like to share a “final” song with you before I go. One of my favorite artists, Teen Daze, made this special christmas blend of “Holy, Holy, Holy,” “Christmas At Sea,” and “Goodnight/Sleep Tight” for The Line of Best Fit’s christmas compilation. It arrived just in time and it couldn’t be any better.
I’ll try to come back someday soon. If I don’t post before, merry Christmas, and thank you for staying true.
Sincerely yours,
Cameron

Co-Premiere | Campfires :: Chasing Planets
While the cold winds flush out all faces to dry, red portraits, the crackling of Chicago’s Campfires is a sight for frost-glazed eyes — the toasty jangle pop warming the hearts of anyone who stumbles upon its distant flickering. “Chasing Planets” is the first song to burst from the flames, which should be fully fledged in early 2011 when Jeff Walls releases his full-length album.

Houses :: This is War (Dustin Kensrue cover)
Houses just released a cover of Dustin Kensrue’s “This is War” on Alternative Apparel’s blog. Like Dexter said on their Facebook page, it “involves no synthesizers whatsoever,” and it’s quite elegant. Dexter also helped make the above video for the track. A holiday miracle from one of my favorite acts of the year.
Blackbird Blackbird :: Erasers
Here’s the first single from Blackbird Blackbird’s upcoming, currently untitled sophomore album. Mikey says that it’s going to feature 10-12 songs in accord with his earlier work under the retired Bye Bye Blackbird moniker - glittery, island beckoning pop with undeniable charm. In other BB news, you can watch the brand new video for the mid-summer anthem, “Pure,” here.
Millionyoung :: Perfect Eyes
Millionyoung’s debut album, Replicants, isn’t due out until February 15 on Rix/Old Flame, but you can download the latest single, “Perfect Eyes,” below. It’ll come out on 7” in January.
Department of Eagles :: While We’re Young
There’s some evidence of dark matter in these galaxy clusters, I believe. [via kaitlinsmith]
Premiere | Jaded Hipster Choir :: Cait Sith
In “Cait Sith,” the second cut from his upcoming Kodama EP, Jaded Hipster Choir frontman Thomas Michael has weaved an intricate orchestral web that dangles between organic and synthetic, creating a piece that although created electronically, could fill an empty theater. Gorgeous looping. It’s got Owen Pallett written all over it.
Kodama is available now on bandcamp and due out soon on Wonder Beard Tapes.
