tree hopping - how pragmatic EP

how pragmatic,
apples, listen plain: growing taller, standing thin, brown race horses

tree hopping is the solo effort of Gabriel Berrios from Totally Nebular; his newest release "how pragmatic..." is characterized by his melodic guitar riffs and home-studio-like rhythms and keyboards. This is worth checking out; if you like it, the rest of his catalog is for free download on his myspace.

Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold

You guys may have heard this by now. Good stuff, similar tropicalness El Guincho brings but more organic, reportedly 10 to 12 musicians for one of their sets. They just got signed to IAMSOUND.

Collocational Time Systems Remix

New Colors is a sort of electronic, minimalist side project from Travis of Visions In Caves, an experimental band from Birmingham, Alabama. Travis made a remix of Hear Hums' Collocational Time Systems, splicing and rearranging some elements; refreshing for me to hear it a new way.

Starting blog

Hey guys,
I really like blogs I use to do it a little back a year or so ago but couldn't keep up, the purpose of this blog is just to talk about or get the word out on news of bands I like and also post updates about Hear Hums.
