Right off the bat, we can say that this is not anywhere as near a big week for new
releases as other weeks so far this month have been. But one of the exciting new
releases is the official drop of **Liars**‘ new EP, _Proud Evolution_. The title
track was remixed by no other than **Radiohead**‘s very own **Thom Yorke**.

“Proud Evolution (Remix by Thom Yorke)” – **Liars** from _Proud Evolution EP_

The new EP also features a live version recorded at **Music Hall Of Williamsburg**
in **Brooklyn**, plus three exclusive new b-sides “Come Now”, “Total Frown”, and“
Strangers”.  Liars said about the EP: “A triumphant processional piano part is hijacked
by something more lurid and tempting. The clicking and gurgling of what’s kicking.
Soon a large rolling mass of bass displaces the equilibrium and redirects it into
a groove. The tempting wave reminds you that misplaced confidence can be frightening.”

Liars has been all over the indie map in the past year or so, and for good reason.
In a nutshell: they “get it”. _The Los Angeles Times _said: “Bands that do what 
they want to do because they believe in it – and trust the intelligence of their
listeners – are the future. That is the brave new world of Liars”.

_Autumn Again_, from **Philadelphia**/**Sydney**’s celebrated indie dream pop band,**
A Sunny Day in Glasgow**, is strongly recommended, not only because we freaking 
loved their previous releases over the past two years, but also because we love 
their newest LP, _Autumn, Again_.

“Drink Drank Drunk”  – **A Sunny Day in Glasgow** from _Autumn, Again_

The next release we want to feature this week, _The Dropout Cats_, came to us via
email from the **Cologne**, Germany. **Sebastian Zimmer** is the one-man band behind**
One In A Googlepex**. His first two albums garnered critical praise for their blend
of excellent song-craft, spacey production and genre busting boldness.

From the get-go, we were struck by the beauty and freshness of the song composition
and minimalistic instrumentation on the 8-bit folk (as the band calls it) track,“
Monolith.” The song is dreamy, melodic, accented perfectly by soft, harmonic vocals
and a piano – a nice mellow surprise from Germany. It’s no surprise that **Nick 
Drake** is such a big influence on the band.

In A Googleplex** from _The Dropout Cats_

We’re not sure, however, what to really make of the very different, electro-pop 
track, “Just Like You,” but we are including it for good measure anyhow. To be fair,
we haven’t yet heard any of the other tracks on the band’s new debut album, but 
if there are a lot of streams/downloads of one or both of the songs below, we’ll
be compelled to find another track on the album to share with all of you.
