Sun-soaked New Orleans quartet Generationals released their brand new EP, Trust, exclusively on iTunes today via Park The Van, and the album is also streaming on AOL Spinner all week. Fresh off a support slot with Irish darlings Two Door Cinema Club, Generationals are finishing the remainder of their fall tour that began surrounding CMJ this week. The four-song EP’s catchy title track has been blowing up the internet, and My Old Kentucky Blog recently premiered the fun video for “Trust” as well. There’s even a great fan-made video for the song floating around.
Generationals currently have a 5-track bundle that fans can download for free on their website, Myspace and Facebook, featuring mp3s of “Trust”, Con Law standout “When They Fight They Fight” and three remixes of “When They Fight They Fight.” Download the Ra Ra Riot remix below, and fork over an email address to get the others from Richard Swift and The Little Ones.

Philadelphia duo Dutch released one of the year’s most exciting debuts this week via their label Enemy Soil, and it’s streaming in all of its dreamy trip-hop-esque glory through the weekend on AOL Spinner. A Bright Cold Day is the phantasmagorical journey through the dreams of Jedi Mind Tricks’ production sage Stoupe The Enemy of Mankind, combined with the rich and soulful vocals of Liz Fullerton. Three years in the making, the album is a landmark in the collaboration between Stoupe and Fullerton. First meshing ideas on the Jedi Mind Tricks tracks “Razorblade Salvation” and “Death Messiah,” the duo was inspired to create a new project together which would take them in a different direction, and Dutch was born.
Dutch’s music is a flavorful departure from JMT’s hardcore hip hop sound into blissful martini-dry and scotch-smooth sips of eclectic brilliance. Taking influence from classic trip-hop artists like Portishead and Massive Attack, A Bright Cold Day is a dark genre-busting time machine that transports the listener to a barstool in the kind of smoky nightclub which James Bond would be most likely to frequent. Just like 007, this album is timeless, sophisticated, and travels to exotic places that are sure to leave you shaken, not stirred.
