SOUND/FRIENDS
The Brooklyn-based Sound/Friends just released the Mas Y Mas full-length “Proud Sponsors of Pepsi.” Yes, I am friends with them, but I honestly think it’s one of the best releases of the year. Other releases are equally impressive (7″‘s featuring The House Floor, Conjov, and Chubby Behemoth). If you are skeptical, you can listen to everything for free. Sound/Friends is organized by the amazing kids at Playlab, “an American Design Studio.”
