Suicide Sundaes – stop your grinnin’ and drop your linen. Every Sunday electblake and jsully of Earmilk will bring you the weeks dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn’t care about anything as long as came in kicking and left screaming. To hell with sketchy sunday, we want to shove another dragon down the hole.

We’re sorry it’s been so much time off. Not to make any excuses, but we’ve had a few technical difficulties the past few weeks, but we can promise, it’s only for the better. We thought this week we would pick up where we left off and bring you some hot ass tracks guaranteed to get you on the dance floor. Only me, JSully will be dropping tracks on you this week, as Electblake is away for a minute or two. (He’s probably bangin’ your mom right now…he’ll be back soon, so don’t fret.) Hopefully I can live up to the epic-ness of us together all alone!

Today we’re bringing you some new Vitalic, something I know everyone is loving right now. Also, some semi-new Munk and a bad ass A-Trak remix everyone will want to jam to. Oh, and a Animal Collective remix that should make you straight up get all indie-pop crunk. If that exisits. I think it does.

We get letters from all sorts of artists here at Earmilk, but this one particularly stood out to me for some reason. Maybe it was because I saw the words “Orchestra” and “11-Piece”. Either way, when I checked it out, I was nothing less than stoked on my new discovery. Emanuel and The Fear bring a new vibe to the Polyphonic Spree/ Sufjan/ Arcade Fire feel, and I can’t get enough of it right now. I think I even hear a little Cursive influence in there. I had never heard of the band before, even though they released their self titled debut album back in January. This makes me think they aren’t getting the credit they deserve. I listen to a lot of music, and I can’t even believe I haven’t heard of these guys until now.

With a sound that derives itself from composers and songwriters across the board, Emanuel & the Fear is an extraordinary 11-piece orchestra-rock band that focuses on intertwining the modern day pop song with extravagant and complex composition. Drawing from romantic and modern composers like Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Glass; and then fusing in a modern rock sound like Arcade Fire, Bright Eyes, Daft Punk and Sufjan Stevens; Emanuel & the Fear displays a true understanding of sound all-the-while capturing audiences with their climactic electro/orchestral arrangements and quivering, poetic lyrics.
