Now’s the time that we need to share…(new EP’s from three 2012 RecommNeds picks)
Zeus: Cover Me
Zeus is a band I am constantly trying to turn people on to, cuz… they’re awesome. Maybe this will convince you: as part of the “deluxe edition” to last year’s fantastic Busting Visions album, they’ve added an all-covers EP. This includes a killer studio version of their live-concert staple cover of Genesis’ That’s All, but also gotta-hear takes on the Flaming Lips, Michael Jackson, R. Kelly and more. Have fun figuring out which is your favorite!

El Ten Eleven: Transitions Remixed
El Ten Eleven’s Transitions album was one of my favorites of 2012. Their music – with its ambient looping, techno drumming and heady riffage — lends itself perfectly to the stems-and-seeds remix thing. Here Com Truise, Slow Magic and more have their go at it, the result: a dreamy dancefloor delight.

Chicha Libre: Cuatro Tigres
There ain’t one person I know who listened to Chicha Libre’s 2012 album, Canablismo, that didn’t love it. One friend I recommended it to was genuinely confused as to why everyone wasn’t listening to it on repeat. If you were one of those folks that ran it ragged, good news, there’s more. Four new tracks that pick up right where it left off, including La Danza De Los Simpsons which is a great take on a familiar theme. Enjoy!
