It also includes unreleased songs by Dirty Projectors, Real Estate, Cass McCombs, Villagers, and TMT favorite John Maus, all spread across five individual, multi-colored Flexi Discs.

Mission of Burma
“Dust Devil”
Holy Ian Curtis, it’s a new Mission of Burma tune! The legendary Boston post-punk band will release their new album, Unsound, on Fire Records this July. “Dust Devil” is the album opener, and it’s got everything you could want in a MoB song: those familiar chugging riffs, cacophonous bits of feedback, and just enough harmonies to make it go down smooth. I’m not sure if this song was written for the household appliance or the dangerous meteorological phenomenon, but Roger Miller and company make the Dust Devil sound rollicking and rowdy regardless of the context.

Rafael Toral / Davu Seru
“First Third” [excerpt]
I don’t like you, and you don’t like me. But I think we can all agree that we do like Rafael Toral, whose third volume in his Space Elements (TMT Review) series (jazz via electronics) weaseled its way to #33 on our favorite albums of 2011 list. No word yet on a fourth volume, but Toral just released Live in Minneapolis on jazz label Clean Feed, which features a stunning 2011 performance with percussionist Davu Seru. Check out an excerpt of the first track here:
