You know the drill - here’s Superfangs with your Hump Day goodies.

MP3: The Moths- Metropolis
Catchy UK synth, new wave sound. Plenty of chirps and droned vocals. Coming together as a full live band in 2007, The Moths have yet to release a proper album.

MP3: Professor Murder- Civilization Three from Professor Murder on a Desert Island (2008, RCRD LBL)
Keeping on with the dance tunes this week, Professor Murder drops another exclusive track for rcrdlbl.com. This sing along has got some bright ska-like beats that livened up our winter spirits.

MP3: Ghostland Observatory- Heavy Heart from Robotique Majestique (February 26th, Trashy Moped Recordings)
A tad sinister and with a bit more theatrics (think classic rock Prince), electro-soul duo Ghostland Observatory returns with this number to set the stage for their third album.

MP3: Evangelicals- Skeleton Man from The Evening Descends (January 22nd, Dead Oceans)
Moody and thick to start, reverb throughout. Tripped out rock with a nod to The Flaming Lips.

MP3: The Helio Sequence- Keep Your Eyes Ahead from Keep Your Eyes Ahead (January 29th, Sub Pop)
Shoegazy guitars abound on this post rockish number.

MP3: Hello, Blue Roses- Shadow Falls from The Portrait Is Finished And I Have Failed to Capture Your Beauty (January 22nd, Locust)
Dan Bejar (New Pornographers, Destroyer, Swan Lake) teams up with his current crush to create a lush electronic infused tune.

MP3: Liam Finn- Second Chance from I’ll Be Lightning (January 22nd, Yep Roc)
23-year-old New Zealand native draws from classic and contemporary folk to create his own brand. This track runs the gamut of eccentric yet comforting sounds found on his self-produced debut.

MP3: Rocketship Park- Seasons from Rocketship Park (Spring 2008, Serious Business Records)
More pedal steel! Folksy, indie rock in the vein of Wilco.

MP3: Barton Carroll- Brooklyn Girl, You’re Going To Be My Bride from The Lost One (January 22nd, Skybucket)
Self-described as songs about inferiority, unworthiness, and grief, The Lost One is a countrified-folk record that has been waiting on the shelf for Barton Carroll for quite some time.

And now for this week’s Smorgasbord Sundae Wafer…

MP3: Otter Petter- The Fourth of July from Fireflies and Lamp Lights (January 22nd, Self-released)
Poppy, mid-tempo indie rock with vocals that rightfully draw comparisons to Death Cab For Cutie. Otter Petter celebrated their first full-length offering at Subterranean this past Saturday.
