Further illumination on this week's music...
1. Lido Pimienta - 'Mueve'
It's not often you come across an artist as instantly impressive as Lido Pimienta - a Colombian who currently makes her home in Canada and quite obviously makes tremendous music there.
I'm on shaky ground of course, as I have no idea what she's singing about - but it's difficult not to get swept up in the blooming euphoria of this song. In fact, I dare you not to love it. The ever-so-slightly warped brass interludes are a particular treat.
Lido Pimienta, one to watch then - in big neon capital letters!
Find out much more about this one women creative powerhouse by visiting her MySpace here - and by reading this great blog about this song. I believe a self-released EP is in the works.
2. Twin Sister - 'I Want A House'
A delicately woven piece of blissed out daydreaming - that strangely puts one in mind of Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra - signals the arrival of Twin Sister.
They seem to be offering the whole mini album that this track comes from over at their website for free download. And, while I'm not so sure that is a good idea, there's no doubting the impressiveness of this New York band.
Plus, you can always buy it from iTunes too. I suggest you pay them a visit then:

3. Papercuts - 'White Are The Waves'
Papercuts released a great album last year, an album that quietly bubbled under, garnered a bit of praise but never really broke through. Now they're back with this excellent single and I'm frightened the same thing will happen again. Don't let it.
Download or buy the 7" right here >>>>
4. Matthew Young - 'Objects In Mirror'
When a man wants to make a record with hammered dulcimer, banjo, Casio synth and drum machines - he should bloody well be allowed to. If he wants to take the lyrics "verbatim from a couple of car manuals", I would also fight to the death to maintain his right to do so.
Such was the genesis of this cracking 1986 self-released curio from Matthew Young, which is now being re-issued on Yoga Records.
You can read more about Matthew at the Yoga Records website here, download their $4 dollar sampler album from Other Music here, or - if you don't live in the States - download just this track from iTunes right here.
5. Benge - '1975 Moog Polymoog'
A real gem from 2008, when Benge released a record called 'Twenty Systems' which charted the history of the modern synthesiser and did it beautifully all on one beautifully presented CD.
That's 20 tracks, showcasing 20 different synthesizers, one from each year, and covering the period 1968-1987. "From the first commercially available systems in the late 1960s to the introduction of fully digital systems in the late 1980s. What you hear on each track is the pure sound of an individual instrument."
For more on this record - read an excellent interview with Ben Edwards (or Benge) right here at the fine online magazine The Quietus.
Plus - check out the packaging of 'Twenty Systems' right here!

6. Frightened Rabbit - 'Fun Stuff' (Demo)
7. Nina Nastasia - 'You Can Take Your Time'
A bit of a label showcase here - from the ever reliable and frequently drop-dead amazing FatCat Records.
Both these two tracks (and much more besides) are featured on a free 13 track sampler which you can download for free if you sign up to the label's mailing list. Click here to do it now! The offer is only on for a month.
I could tell you more, but the quality speaks for itself - besides the folks from FatCat will tell you everything you need to know, direct to your inbox.

8. Tape - 'Come Madellena'
9. Mountains - 'Choral'
Tape are a pastoral instrumental band from Sweden - Mountains are an ambient duo who release on Thrill Jockey. Both are currently on tour with each other in the States. If you are lucky enough to live near any of the shows - which you can see right here - attendance is surely a must. An excellent evening of music surely awaits you.
What's more - the Tape song is a Ennio Morricone cover and you can download it right here for free - and listen to the original right here on Spotify.
