Friendo
“Callers”
This is one of those tracks that’s far more than the sum of its parts. Simple drums, guitar, airy vocals, a plodding rhythm — it all blends into some otherworldly downer anthem. Hopefully the magic here can be recreated on a full length.

Mount McKinley
“Backslide”
Hey, a track from New Jersey’s Mount McKinley. These guys are working on a as-yet untitled EP, so “Backslide” is pretty fresh off the burners. Support unsigned artists, and all those over 40: check out what hot new rock music sounds like in 2010!

Setherial
“A World in Hell”
Setherial, by far the more adorable black metal band out of Sweden, will release Ekpyrosis in May on Regain.

Josephine Foster
“I Love You & The Springtime Blues” [live]
This song is off 2008’s This Coming Gladness, performed at Teatr Rozrywki in Chorzów, Poland. Check out Graphic as a Star (TMT Review), which was released earlier this year on Fire. The Chocolate Grinder thinks it’s great.
