Free Album: Geotic – Mend
















Many of you may have not heard of Geotic, but you may have heard of the guy behind it, Will Weisenfeld, aka Baths.

Geotic is the name of Weisenfeld's atmospheric, ambient side project and he's released a bunch of free music under this moniker.

We've been giving the album 'Mend' a thorough workout and think it is just gorgeous, so now we are encouraging you to explore it yourselves.

You can find the links to download 'Mends' and a bunch of other Geotic releases here.

In the meantime here's a delicious morsel for you to whet your appetite – the album's stunning opener, 'Unwind'.

R.I.P. The White Stripes

























Seminal, two piece, blues and classic country revivalists, The White Stripes, have called it quits.

In a statement made today, Jack and Meg said their last goodbyes:

"The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful."

Arguably the greatest band of the last decade, the "brother and sister" duo changed what the definition of a popular act could be.

Over their tenure as one of the "Saviours of rock" in the early 2000s, they released a string of brilliant albums, toured relentlessly, and made several "best album of the year" lists.

Jack also established himself as one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and one of the most prolific and innovative artists of our generation.

They will be sorely missed, but their legacy will forever be preserved by their classy exit.

They also released several exemplary film clips with the genius director, Michel Gondry. Including this fantastic classic:
