Stream / Download the New WALSH EP

Stream / Download: WALSH- Karaoke I was late to the party when it came to WALSH's first EP in '10, and I'm late again to enjoy his latest release, too. Am I surprised? No. But one of my kind 'Drops turned me on to this, so I have to give credit where it's due.

Allegedly, WALSH is the solo effort of the same man who has released music under the name Coolrunnings. He also runs things over at the label Dracula Horse.

WALSH's latest EP, Karaoke, is just as woozy and manipulated as his last. The sound does feel a little less lo-fi, making the beats hit a little harder and feel a little crispier. There are some essential grooves that hit on this thing, too. "I Drive the Pervert Van" is so danceable, it's worth forgetting the track's odd title, and "Birthday Girl" reminds me of the same Todd Rundgren groove Neon Indian sampled on "Deadbeat Summer."

WALSH- "07 Luxury" ft. Squadda Bambino ‡ STREAM

There are a lot of "ohyeahbestof2010" lists popping up around the blog-o-sphere now, and I'm stumbling upon a couple gems that haven't come across my path this past year.

The most standout of them all has been and EP from WALSH, Smoke Weed About It. As Flavorwire describes it, this release is a combination of 2010's best trends: reverbed vocals, dreamy synths, smudgy beats, new wave influences.

The most interesting of all the tracks is "07 Luxury," which features rapper and singer Squadda Bambino. It's a psychedelic brand of lo-fi hip hop that shows a lot of promise. Future trend, perhaps? Stream the song below and download WALSH's ep via Dracula Horse.
