Primary 1, “Foaming” MP3 (+ Weird Tapes RMX)
Primary 1 already had us at “Who’s There”, this past summer’s 3AM weed theme, as reimagined by the bol L-Vis 1990. But how didn’t we know that he made such dreamy pop jangles, almost like Phoenix’s stoned younger bro? The demo version of “Foaming” makes us want to fly a kite in the park and lie on a blanket with our lover in some JAZZ SWEATERS. It drops in limited red vinyl on November 2 on Erol Alkan’s PHANTASY records, so all you bearded dudes better cue the site up in your bloglines and get your trigger fingers psyched for clicking. The remix is a total spa jam, ultimate relaxant, with Weird Tapes sampling an erhu then sliding into mellow rave mode before pulling a total Dam-Funk three minutes in. Hey man, it’s a long song.

Freeload: Memory Tapes, “Bicycle”
- story THE FADER
Memory Tapes is the union of Weird Tapes and Memory Cassette, which was kind of basically the same thing in the first place, it’s just got a married name now. “Bicycle” is the first single and it’s the best thing we’ve heard all day, with siren vocals, crystal-castle synths, and a bounding bassline that fits somewhere within the summer’s futura-disco and goth-revivalist memes, but not trying to be either or anything, really, except awesome. We want to stand at the top of a waterfall and sing along with the echo breaks while growing a unicorn horn, or at the very least listen to this 24 more times in a row. Unnnggghhh it’s so good!
