Download the track "Scagcat" from Arabrot: https://www.thisismusicinc.com/arabrot/lyd/jesus/Scagcat.mp3
The track comes from the band's new album "Proposing a pact with Jesus", out now on Norway Rat Records. The record was produced by Billy Anderson and, as his involvement often implies, is some serious sludge-rocking stuff. I dig it.

"Love and neon lights" by Niccokick is today's pick at recordoftheday.com.

Hooray! If you look to the right, you'll see that the time has finally come for the second installment of the IAT.MP3 series. The Grand Opening is the musical alias of Roger Olsson from Stockholm, Sweden. If you're at all into melancholic slowcore acts like Idaho, Low, Early Day Miners, American Music Club or maybe also countrymates Logh, you're sure to love the "Location" EP. I know it's probably not all that cool to admit it, but some of the music reminds me of early/mid-90s midwestern emo rock, the kind of thing I used to listen to before the genre became synonymous with garbage. Anyhow, you don't have to take my word for it - download it and listen for yourself. As always, all IAT.MP3 releases are distributed under a creative commons music license, so it's free to share. Enjoy!
