5 FREE (OR ALMOST FREE) AMAZING NEW DIGITAL RECORDS THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE NOT HEARD

Animal Faces — Anomie
Toronto, Canada based mathy post-hardcore band Animal Faces just released a brand new EP that compile a set of 6 guitar-filled anthems that draw the line between the mainstream and boring new wave of aggressive post-punk and the mature sound of a committed band comprised by a power trio of teens that amazingly know what they are doing (and they scream a lot). $6 bucks only. http://animalfaces.bandcamp.com/

Atrás Hay Truenos — Romanza
Argentinian band Atrás Hay Truenos latest release is by far one of the best records I’ve heard this year, and guess what? It’s free. Yes it is. A 9 song based kraut-rockish indie album that recovers the progressive spirit of south america. Fuzzy guitars and dreamy keyboards included for your convenience.  FREE. http://atrashaytruenos.bandcamp.com/album/romanza

Selva Oscura — Refractides
U.S. producer Ray Levinson-Fort just released a brand new set of 12 electronic and instrumental songs filled with organic beats and wavy paths and synths that can take you (figuratively speaking) to the nearest sea shore.

Nouveau Palais — Avant Gang Extended Play
Canadian residents Nouveaus Palais released a new extended play on the Red Bull Music Academy netlabel and if you are not familiar with this project, the RBMA has been lately one of the best supporters of new electronic music producers worldwide having in their lines guys from Germany, the UK, Canada, Spain and so on.

Earthquake Party! — VS. Pizza
This is from 2011 but I had to point them out. Earthquake Party! bizarre mix of shoegazed rock and garage punk will make you shake your head for 5 minutes. Yes, only 5 minutes; but the best thing about these 3 fast songs is that they are indeed that good that you won’t hesitate to play them over and over again. $2 (you can buy the cassette tape plus the digital album for $3) http://earthquakeparty.bandcamp.com/
