Apocalypse negative

Unfortunately you woke up in your bed on planet earth this morning. Chances are, your friends and family are here too. Rapture ... negative.

However in the rapture spirit, Return to Mono released an apocalypse-like mp3. The song is called "Song of the Beast" and can be listened to here: [mp3]

The song is off their album Framebreaker. Their songs create this fun atmosphere of electronic synth and just awesomeness. The kind of music you would associate with the rapture. So enjoy and rejoice that you are here and life continues.

Try To Understand - The Gay Blades [mp3] (site) The first single from the their upcoming album Savages, out October 5th. The type of elated pop-rock that infuse brass in the mix.
