4 for the weekend vol. 32

The winner of last week's 4 for the Weekend CD giveaway is Ming from Nepean, Ontario! All she had to do was log onto the Quick Before It Melts Facebook Group, become a member and write "I want the 4 free CDs!" on the wall. To get this week's CDs, just do the same, referencing you want the CDs from 4 for the Weekend, vol. 32. This week's contest closes next Thursday, March 13, 11:59 pm.




A Faulty Chromosome "Them Pleasures of the Flesh"
[As an ex-anorexic's six sicks exit..., 2008, self-released]

Somewhere along the indie music genome, there is a strand of DNA that crosses 80s techno pop and 90s indie rock with math punk and karaoke so bad it's good. The result? A Faulty Chromosome.

Yip-Yip "Gender Changers"
[Two Kings of the Same Kingdom, 2008, SAF]

I think that Yip-Yip are one of those acts you have to see and hear to understand. This is their fourth full length, clocks in at under 25 minutes, and includes a DVD version that features a video for each song. Multi-media ethusiasts take note.

Aster "Attempting To Multiply"
[Some Things Seldom Heard Of, 2007, self-released]

Austin duo Aster have their sites set firmly in the heavens as their layered and ornate brand of pop sails closer and closer to the celestial bodies above us. Built on keys and synths and bolstered by beat machines, Aster make space age pop of the finest order.

HEALTH "Glitter Pills"
[HEALTH, 2007, Lovepump United]

Los Angeles noise rockers HEALTH have been getting some heavy remix action by DJs around the world, and have paired up with Crystal castles for a split 7", too. Their album is more akin to their live show: sweaty, beautiful noise.
