When you hear the banshee coming from down the mountain, she is still only a whisper. Surprise surprise (and much to your delight) when you find out that the banshee is always so gentle. How about an added bonus: The banshee loves MC Hammer! Yeah, it doesn’t get much sicher.
So acts like Universal Studios Florida are proving there is love for late-90s electronica already again, just as long as it is post-lofi. Well, here comes a band designed to clean up (hence the name I guess) on that phenom. While the light haze-tech of this music is stellar, its the confident and soft vocals that keep you engaged on Coyote Clean Up’s latest 20 song album on Afternoons Modeling.

Coyote Clean Up – Hammering Time

and if you love that, the entire album is free through the label.

Gentle is a good way to get so many things done. Perhaps you need to sooth a baby away from crying, or clean a nasty scrape. Gentle is good for those things. Miguel Mendez uses gentle a lot of the time. Here he uses it to insult someone. I think that is what they call “soften the blow.” Well, it works for me.  Sometimes the truth is just a pain in the axx, so what are you gonna do? Dress up your goblin words in a fine silks and lace and hope that someone makes out with them at the ball? Seems preposterous, but if anyone can pull it off, it definitely is Mr Madness, erm Mendez. Because he is a master costume maker.

Miguel Mendez – Fat and Ugly

Lost in a mystery, in a misty rain, it has been nearly a year since my desire to share Bermuda Triangles manifested. Somehow the cleansing spirit of 2010 has brought this lost feeling back to the surface. Nice to know that time has not aged this magic at all. Fans of Lucky Dragons or High Places will feel the rhythms here, but this is distinctly funk. So hyped, and well mental. Who knows though, maybe there is so much paracusia surrounding this mp3 that it will enter a twilight zone sub-drive on your computer and you’ll only hear it a year from now when the mp3 itself decides the time is right. AI is not the future, it is the past!

Oh, it just seems wrong to say goodbye without sharing this Coyote Clean Up music video:
