Joel Frieders

Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

Trails and Ways - My Things

Joel Frieders | August 10, 2016
I fucking loved the shit out of this song when it dropped back in May. I had never considered how fucking balls a visual might fit into that initial love affair. But of course Trails and Ways had to go and sensual-ify this motherfucker and...

Ólafur Arnalds - Particles

Joel Frieders | August 9, 2016
No YOU'RE hugging yourself and rocking back and forth at your desk while the phones won't stop ringing! I've been obsessed with Olafur Arnalds for a while now, but I've never met this Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir until this. ...

One Song: Indian Wells - Racquets

Joel Frieders | August 9, 2016
Holy shit. It's INDIAN WELLS! Back in 2013 I was OBSESSED WITH THIS DUDE! (Seriously, read this from our old website) Indian Wells is the fucking king of building builds that end up being gradual bridges over uncharted waters...

One Song: Leagues - New Money

Joel Frieders | August 8, 2016
The vocals on Leagues' single "New Money" kick me square in the gunt.  Dude almost sounds like he's pleading with his own reflection in the mirror. Sure, it's similar to The Neighbourhood, but I get this awesome Win Butler and...

BELLS - WANDERER

Joel Frieders | August 3, 2016
Post rock has always been about energy for me.  My favorite post rock bands might not always have the greatest chops, or have the most amazing guitar solos, or the most massive drums, but what they might lack in technical skill they more than fucking make up...

Kid Runner - Give Me Something To Love

Joel Frieders | August 2, 2016
I was a bit cashed just a broment ago, and I forgot I had the computer on mute and I watched half the video on mute.  First off, I love post production shit that's whimsical and simple and something I could see myself adding to my own videos. Secondly, I...

Active Bird Community - Pick Me Apart

Joel Frieders | July 26, 2016
I don't remember remembering who this band is, but after watching the video with a smile on my face, I'd like to remember the memory of reminding myself to remember who this band is because they make me unbelievably fucking happy. Active Bird...

Sin Fang feat. Jónsi - Candyland

Joel Frieders | July 25, 2016
I'm a pussy for Sigur Ros. I've had daydreams soundtracked by Sin Fang. And the idea of an electro-ified Jónsi makes my goose pimples have goose pimples.  However this shit came to be, it sounds like the...

Kendra Morris - Babble

Joel Frieders | July 25, 2016
Kendra Morris fanboy reporting for duty. For the last few years, every time I see Kendra Morris's name pop up, I click and listen to whatever the fuck she's dropping now. I learned after the first time I read her name to...
