Pandas are big in music these days. Must be their mating habits that lend to a build up of tension, and artistic expression. Bad Panda dropped this Growsound guy into my email a while back and I sorta slept on it, because I got caught in a submarine, smuggling yogurt covered almonds into Russia. It’s a short story with a long ending, but I’m happy to say, Growsound has arrived. But will he live up to the hype? Or better yet, will his hype man wear neon? All fantasticness aside, Growsound is well on his way to mastering the slow build. Thats the greatest compliment I can give, because it takes maturity to not want to hit the nail with a sledgehammer these days. The sampler beat sound isn’t new, so comparisons to beats and such are over with in my opinion. So I’m going to skip comparisons. Oh, and download 8 more growsound songs here.

I know all the indie hater comparisons, and yes this fits them all, so you can go preach to the choir of cool kids somewhere else. The real deal here is that this fits them all. Here is what indie rock was once, with spoonfuls of homestyle productions sound, kicks, hooks, and flicks, jooks, and the warm arty drone. Thunder$troke for those that still like that shit.

The earth revolves around the sun, just as the illest hot ass funk beats revolve around Malcolm Catto, and The Heliocentrics revolve around an unrecognizable genre of spaced out advant-afro funk jazz stuff… Did I mention the drums? Vast Aire is perfect on this song. More here.

here’s one from deep in my crates of secret sauce recipe 709^4 and I’m bringing it out because the more you give, the more you get. Shuffling in at 150 Lbs. & Hugs,  from Planet Lovetron, and the Droop CApone himself…. Dr.Oop!!! This song solidified Dr.Oop for me. Squander Horse put him into the I’ll buy anything he makes category. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot out there to get. So I saver it. I strongly urge everyone check out the song Hueman Nature of the Beast on his Myspace, becasue it goes directly into the where the fuck can I get this song category… oh 7″… you don’t say…a pressing of 300?…. Import only??? …

Dr.Oop…. please make more music!
