A surplus of geekery by :: Fred Abercrombie

MP3: Dananananaykroyd, Hella, Indian Wars, Yuck and Feist Live w/ Mountain Man :: Friday 09.30.11

Usually, but so not always, these Friday Fives build from the mellow to the rockin’. Today, let’s just start with a slap-in-the-face of a song you may’ve missed from earlier this year.

Dananananaykroyd “All Us Authors”
from There Is A Way

If I ever meet Zach Hill, the drummer of Hella, I’m gonna give him the biggest, most righteous high five ever. He’s gotta be the tightest, most lyrical, effervescent players around. And he’s tuned his snare to my absolute ideal dream snare drum sound ever. What’s yours?

Hella “Furthest”
from Tripper

Vancouver’s Indian Wars bring us twangy, garage-y goodness to shimmy ‘n shake to.

Indian Wars “Won’t Do A Thing”
from Walk Around the Park

This quiet Yuck rarity is from the upcoming double-disc re-release of their self-titled debut. If you don’t already have the original, the Oct 11 edition will almost make up for the fact that you’ve been missing out on this terrifically rocking’ LP for eight months already.

Yuck “Soothe Me”
from s/t [2 Disc Special Edition]

Feist debuted a new tune from her upcoming album Metals with some help from the sweet-voiced gals of Mountain Man, live on KCRW.

Feist “The Circle Married the Line” (live w/Mountain Man)
from KCRW 10.26.11 Morning Becomes Eclectic
