Alas, another week has passed. Here’s what’s been echoing ’round the Ümlaut. Enjoy thoroughly.

Thao & Mirah “Eleven (ft. tUnE-YarDs)” from s/t

Starfucker “Death as a Fetish” from Reptilians

Rock out with the Ümlaut every Friday. [Follow ÜÜ on Twitter]

SPIN just got around to naming Thao with the Get Down Stay Down “Hot New Band”, and Friend of the Umlaut Jonathan Ratcliff (see Ferocious Few 4.27.09) was picked to shoot her in San Francisco. Nice work, man!

Hear Thao MP3s on the Umlaut:

“Know Better Learn Faster” (via Friday Five 10.16.09)
“Swimming Pools” (via Friday Five 7.31.09)

Want more music? Rock out with the Umlaut every Friday.
