Free Music: John Maus, Maximo Park, Xiu Xiu & More
John Maus: "No Title (Molly)"
Maus is a composer from Austin, MN—the birthplace of Spam!—who alternates between working on contemporary avant garde pieces and pleasantly strange New Wave-y throwbacks. This song is the latter, and someone should probably let Madonna know that this guy finally found Molly. [Pitchfork]
Xiu Xiu: “Always”
Jamie Stewart’s Xiu Xiu has melded post-punk’s vast soundscapes with hints of dance music for some time now, so it’s not a huge shock that they’re covering the excessively earnest synth-pop duo Erasure for their Record Store Day release. This is one of those rare covers that pays tribute without retracing the original.
