Del Dot - You Can Play These Songs With Cords

If you permit Del Dot to reel you in, you’ll come ear to ear with a limitless world of interplanetary racket and neon whimsy. Dippy spirit reigns in the quick, 6-track You Can Play These Songs With Cords, where pliant, happy beats shimmy, clack, thump, and twine with the first-string noise of right where you sit.

In the doozie Shedd View, Del Dot leaves the TV on during an electrical storm, and lets the characters of his voltaic opera clap it out. There are times you’ll be totally zoned out on the pacifying racket, and suddenly everything will gather force and you’ll be moving, with wired purpose, to a song you like. You won’t know whether you’re listening to a cosmic change in the weather or if you’ve stomped head first into a party you’ll never leave.

When Del Dot says goodbye with Won’t C U Again, your heart falls a little bit. It’s like you’ve backslid into the last scene of a heart-bending film, unwitting. The beauty bumps up against that tender spot where all emotion swells and fades out of your attention with a parting twinkle, the loose glitter and amorphous gurgle of a gasping baby star, until he finally says his last goodbye with a wink and a nod. To assure you that nothing is too serious or more important than the bobbing of one’s head.

A Gap Between - Neon Signs

Blackbird Blackbird - Hawaii (The Bear and The Sea remix)

Episode 13, promised two days ago, arrives a wee bit late, but hopefully the lovely tunes will make up for our tardiness, and not to mention, the two awesome free tracks by A Gap Between and The Bear and The Sea. Things have been crazy here this month, albeit a productive kind of crazy, and that’s the way we like it, for the most part. It’s probably why Wolfe+585 opted for the kind of mix that one could most certainly relax to (and sometimes even dance to), all of which could be described as a sort of squishy, nostalgic bliss.

The Bear and The Sea - Drinking Diamonds feat. Joel Swensen

Del Dot - Droid Crusher

The Bear and The Sea closes out the year in style with episode 12 of Listening Pleasures, a mix that could easily be on par with summer, but has all the fixings of a winter wonderland, too. Included are free downloads of Drinking Diamonds, a Bear and The Sea exclusive featuring the gorgeous vocals of Joel Swensen, and Droid Crusher, a title and cut that might be apt for a modern 8-bit video game, brought to you from our newest artist, Del Dot. And if you just can’t get enough of The Bear this month, download his instrumental reinterpretation of Silent Night, a synth-y cover that even the Grinch would dig. As always, we hope you enjoy the tunes. Have the happiest of holidays, and see you all in 2011!
