FREE LE GUESS WHO SAMPLER

For four years now, Utrecht’s Le Guess Who? festival has managed to programme consistently exciting line-ups that turn the city’s venues into treasure chests of independent music for four days each year. Named after a famous Canadian band from the ’60s, Le Guess Who? had its humble beginnings as a festival which dealt specifically in up-and-coming Canadian bands. In the three years since, organisers have opened the floor to other sonically gifted corners of the world resulting in what might be Le Guess Who’s most international line-up to date.

To celebrate this wonderful festival we've put together an free unofficial yet thoroughly awesome sampler ft bands like Women, Marnie Stern, Ganglians, Baths, Small Black and many more!

01. Marnie Stern - For Ash
02. Women - Eyesore
03. Sleepy Sun - New Age
04. Idiot Glee - Ain't No Sunshine
05. Broken Social Scene - World Sick
06. Esben And The Witch - Warpath
07. Wooden Shjips  - Motorbike
08. Strange Boys - Be Brave  
09. Ty Segall  - Girlfriend

TQQUNDO FRRRRR

Felix Lee’s organic sound-puzzles bud from eerie tinkles and hushes and swell into drip-drip-drippy fruits of Tqqundo Frrrrr. This bright youngster from London could be Lucky Dragons’ tall little brother as he dings and dongs, chimes and ka-chings, loops, layers and morphs with the virtuosity of a sage witch doctor. And if you listen in closely, there’s a tad of tomfoolery in it all, to counter all that grown-up shit. It’s two Q’s and five F’s, look for the link on his MySpace for a free album download.

Felix Lee sent us a recording of the live session he played for Space Studios - strong stuff!
