Always one to have impeccable taste, our man Doug Marvin, drummer extraordinaire for Dirty on Purpose, went through all the artists on RCRD LBL and chose his favorite tracks, in a sort of artist-playlist featurette. Below you will find Doug’s views on Felice Brothers, new NYC band Violens, Art Brut, and loads more. Check it!

The Felice Brothers - Tip Your Way
This sounds like it was written forty years ago, by Levon Helm or Gram Parsons. I would swear that these have never laid eyes on a tape deck, let alone an iPhone.

Art Brut - My Little Brother
There are few things more exhilarating than shouting "My little brother just discovered rock and roll!" in a thick British accent. Try it.

CoCo B's - Modern Lover
I have a weakness for well-executed power-pop. These guys are cut from the same cloth as Cheap Trick or Urge Overkill. I want to hear more.

A Place to Bury Strangers - I Know I'll See You (The Clapp Remix)
I can't honestly say the remix improved the song at all, but it's a killer tune, and it's kind of a novelty to hear Oliver's vocals mixed right up front.

Sian Alice Group - Motionless
This is weirdly minimal, disorienting, arty and (against all odds) catchy as hell.

Violens - Violent Sensation Descends
I was shocked to find out these were the guys behind Lansing-Dreiden. Apparently they've left the the post-modern meta-art antics behind and embraced their inner Shins. Who knew?

The Good Good - Clouds
We played one of our first shows with The Good Good, some five years ago at a dive in Greenpoint. They had costumes and puppets. This song is a found tape of a little girl singing an a capella song about clouds, with backing music added by the band. Fucking genius.

Phosphorescent - A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise
I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite band, but I keep missing their shows, so I'm still reserving judgment.

Say Hi - Northwestern Girls
New streamlined name, same old awesome homemade indie-pop from Eric Elbogen and whoever's in his band this week.

Caribou - Melody Day
Someday we've got to put our collective feet down and say 'Enough with the Beach Boys homages already!' WIth any luck, that day will come a long, long time from now, once Caribou has stopped mining "Good Vibrations" for genius hooks like this.
