Our good friends Capybara have only been a band for a few short months but they have already recorded their first full length Try Brother. They find themselves at a convergence of indie rock styles. Not afraid to try on one sound or another but doing it in such way to make it their own. At times you find them touching on sounds that are more delicate and other times you find them full of energy. It is exciting to hear a band being this dynamic and energetic at such an early point in their career. Keep your eyes out for them in your city because they have already been out on tour and plan to be out more this summer and fall. Enjoy The Wimp from Try Brother and head over to their website and grab the rest of the album while you still can.

This month’s song comes from Atlanta’s hip hop duo TSD. For a long time I have wanted to use this feature to promote friends that aren’t on Record Machine. When my friend Aree sent me some songs from TSD I knew the timing was perfect to unleash them as the song of the month. Here is their bio:

TSD is a collaborative duo made up of vocalist/musician Movement and producer Source One. Based out of Atlanta, they crossed paths - whether by chance or destiny - in 2004 and began exchanging musical tastes, beats, and life experiences since. Movement, a songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, paints audible portraits of pop music, dub, rap, and r&b into one bucket of creativity and energy, while Source One outlines the canvas and fills in the details with the art of sampling, sound-manipulation, and glitch layering. In their eyes, sound has no boundaries and neither do they. Together, the two combine their love and passion for good music into, what they call, “future crunk.”

If this is what the future holds I want to be on this dance floor.
