MP3: The Janitors - Epileptic city
The Janitors aspired to Silverbullit-level greatness on their debut album and failed, but with their new release, "The sick state EP", they've come mighty close. We're still neck-deep in derivative works territory (see "Epileptic city" vs "Magnetic city") and the band's name is still forgettable at best, but there's a lot they're getting right: the steady motorik pulse, the layers of noise, the ominous vibe. Even if they don't have much personality of their own manufacture, I'll accept 'em as a solid Silverbullit tribute and will remain optimistic they'll push the envelope a bit further as time goes on.
Listen to "The sick state EP" here and keep an eye out for another three EPs to be released over the course of 2011 with an eventual LP compilation of the tracks coming at the close.

Veronica Maggio - Jag kommer (Wrokout bootleg remix)
Normally I can hardly be bothered to check out all the remix garbage that gets sent my way, but I'll make a small exception for this since a) the new Veronica Maggio single "Jag kommer" is a great tune and b) this mix tamps down the Strokes-isms that are kind of distracting on the original and turns it back into the sort of straight-up dancepop you might have expected in the first place. Recommended!
