For once we get a cover that really says something about the album title: The picture above belongs to the upcoming new EP by Chicago quintet A Lull, bearing the name Meat Mountain. Off this new release, the band offers us the summery, heavily percussive “Summer Dress” for free download. Nice.

The EP will be released June 26, 2012 via Lujo Records.

mp3 | INSPIRED & THE SLEEP • take pills (instructed bliss)

Max, aka the Eyelid Kid, from Inspired & The Sleep sent us over his new single “Take Pills (Instructed Bliss)” from his upcoming album Teenager. This is what he says about the song:

“The song is sort of a sarcastic dedication to how our society, ravers, even myself functions mentally, socially, and physically through the use of pills. It was put together through a series of live recorded percussion loops, a drum machine setting from my toy Casio keyboard, flute, uke, and bass.”

He might be the only one to describe this sunny indie-pop gem, I won’t even try and will just enjoy this beautiful tune.

The single will be released by the recently founded Hanging Hills Records.
