Kyle Lambert a.k.a. Boy Scout of America is releasing a new tripnotic EP on November 23, which, appropriately, is Black Friday. On the biggest day of consumer gluttony, Yung †rillionaire is going to be released to the masses. The dark, meticulous, based journey is both eerie and playful, and if nothing else, is impressive in scope and production value. Boy Scout of America will be performing at Magic Death Sounds’ 2nd Birthday Party on December 6 at the 700 Club, so you can go get down to the spooky, swollen crunk jamz live and in person. We are really stoked to premiere the first offering from the new EP Yung †rillionaire called “The Lights Down,” which you can also download for FREE below. Check out it out, and make sure to grab a copy of the album when it comes out this Friday HERE. We asked Kyle for a few words about the project, so we’ll leave you with that.

 

 

Local nihilistic shoegazers Nothing just premiered a new music video for “Downward Years to Come,” the title track from their new EP, earlier today via Stereogum. They’ll be celebrating its Black Friday release at Ortlieb’s with Night Sins.

Tonight is one of the heaviest drinking evenings of the year. Since we already have “Black Friday” the day after Thanksgiving, I like to call today “Blackout Wednesday.” You probably already have plans to meet up with family and friends at a local bar and/or a relative/pal’s home. Well, if your crew likes to get rowdy to some tunes, then we have plenty of local acts ready to entertain you for the night. Grimace Federation’s Popular Science will be providing the hot electronic beats at Kung Fu Necktie. The dance party will also be doubling up as an EP release party for Beard-o-Bees (a.k.a. Jesse Miller from Lotus). If you are looking for a place where the alcohol flows like water and it won’t cost you anything to get your peeps in, then Ron Gallo’s Revue will be hopping at Fergie’s. It’s also Levee Drivers frontman August Lutz’s birthday so expect the man of honor to be ready to party and entertainment. Across the way, their pals TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb are at the North Star Bar for the Supersucker Thanksgiving Eve Party so they’ll most likely be joining the crew at Fergie’s for a little late night action, but I’m sure that those are Kong and company’s primetime hours for hanging. Garage-psych power trio St. James & The Apostles will be shutting down The Fire. And if you have no fear of getting a DUI or just aren’t that much of a drinker, then you can also make the trek to catch Hoots & Hellmouth at The Sellersville Theater. Wherever you end up, have fun and don’t get arrested! Cheers! – Q.D. Tran

 

Yes, we’ve got another rad new track for you from more talented locals. It’s a smooth-ass remix of Night Panther’s “Snudge” by Spaceship Aloha (a.k.a. Pow Pow from Man Man a.k.a. Christopher Sean Powell), which premiered yesterday via Pigeons and Planes. Powell is currently in a studio in Omaha, Nebraska working on a new Man Man album with Honus Honus (a.k.a. Ryan Kattner).

 

Lushlife (a.k.a. Raj Haldar) remixed Styles P and AraabMuzik’s collaboration “Araab Styles” (from the album The World’s Most Hardest MC Project). However, Raj has put his own dope spin on it (of course) and renamed the track “Lush Styles,” which premiered today via Stereogum and you can check it out below. Enjoy!

Pissed Jeans just announced that they plan to release a new album titled Honeys via Sub Pop in February. You can take a listen to their first offering from the record called “Bathroom Laughter” below.

 

Power-popsters Free Energy premiered a new song this morning called “Hangin’” via Rolling Stone. The single is off their forthcoming sophomore LP Love Signs, which is scheduled for release January 15. You can also check out its full tracklist below. (Photo by Dominic Neitz)

 

 

Here’s a new Philly-centric music video from Freeway for his track “Jungle,” which was directed by Jimmy Giambrone. His forthcoming album Diamond In The Ruff is due out November 27 via Babygrande Records, and features contributions from Just Blaze, Jake One, Marsha Ambrosius, Wale and many others.
