i remember being young

New EP by Bikini

Last month I wrote about Montreal’s Bikini about a killer track called I Remember Being Young. When I was in contact with the band, they told me they had something almost ready to announce. Turns out the news was that their EP (Concerning The Number 7 and Your Love) was released last night, go here to check it out. The band is doing the Radiohead method of asking the customer to name the price. We’ll see if that works for the band. Chances are it will get the music in some new hands, but not sure if it will pay all the bills.

Here’s track 2 off the EP, a song called Tonight.

I had someone ask me about my Indie Music Filter mix compilations yesterday. Seems as if its been quite a while since I’ve put one together. Well, I’ve never done a summer mix, and I must admit I was inspired to start thinking about this since seeing/hearing the Urban Outfitters mix. I promise, as soon as I make it through NXNE in one piece, I’ll get to it.

Here’s a song that could work for it. By a band called Bikini (the name fits with the summer theme). Aaron Aujla and Johnny Penn are the producers behind the moniker, Penn’s hanging out with Wolf Parade at McGill, Aujla’s living in Queen West in Toronto painting pictures of Red Bull cans.

Check out this one. Here’s I Remember Being Young. Head to their myspace page to download a version of Feist’s 1234.
