Audio Saturdays: a beat waiting for a hook

sunshineandwindLeave a comment

Happy Saturday! There are only a few days left in Donald Trump’s siege of America, so it’s time to celebrate! We’ve been busy over here with biz and overhead stuff, so we’re going to continue to post tracks from the latest La Sudar record until we get out from the weeds. Keep an eye out for next Saturday’s audio feature – we’ve got new music from a new featured artist on deck, as well as a new contest!

But for now please enjoy “What Did You Get Your Computer for Christmas?” off the new La Sudar mixtape, “Extreme Christmas” – download on bandcamp or datpiff today! This is an instrumental jam that would be ripe for a nice hook or a sick verse so let’s say in honor of the world’s oldest terrorist leaving the White House this week, Sunshine and Wind will donate $50 to Stacy Abrams’ FAIR FIGHT in the name of the person who sends us the wildest verse or hook for this track.

Audio Saturdays! T0SKA

Today on Audio Saturdays we feature the new double A side single from Brooklyn-based “trauma pop” band T0SKA. Fronted and produced by Ian Starling, T0SKA was wowing indie music fans all over the city with their lush beats and spirited live shows before the pandemic hit. This is the first new music we’ve heard from them since everything shut down in March 2020, and it’s worth the wait. A trippy dreamwave cover of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here takes the lead here, with a soaring electro-inversion of the Doug Linse-penned showstopper “Unaffected” on the flip side.

Check it out and let us know what you think! Got any other artists we should be checking out? What’s hot in the new year in your area? Let us know!

Happy New Year from Sunshine and Wind! This is the 2nd featured track, “I Can See the Tree From the Window” off the new La Sudar mixtape, “Extreme Christmas” – download on bandcamp or datpiff today! It may be 2021 but this tape is forcing us to fuck with Christmas a little longer than planned.

Today we present the final installment of the “lost” La Sudar EP, “ERF”.

On Monday, we received a message from them:

hey S&W

hearing the responses from your followers to the ERF ep, got me digging around my archives for any context to the ERF recording sessions. i didn’t really find any, but i did find this image, which is likely a cover image i made for the ep. please note that hearing these tracks again, i now consider this ep “unfinished” rather than lost – i doubt i would have made cover art for five minutes of music. it must have been a project i abandoned sometime in 2011, which, as you’re aware, was right smack in the middle of my “lost years”.

yours truly, l.s.

email correspondence, nov 2020

So, without further ado, please enjoy the final available track from the “unfinished” la sudar ep, ERF, along with the cover art below.

Today we present the second installment of the lost La Sudar EP “ERF”. If you remember from last week, we, overworked and scrambling for content, reached out to La Sudar to see if they could provide us with any audio for our Audio Saturdays feature and they came through with a “lost” ep they have no memory of recording. Here’s the second track, provocatively called “erf two”
