Firebrand Boy - Songs for Cake

I didn't realise until the last track that these guys were Scottish, and it got me all excited. They're the first Scottish 8-bit I've heard, and maybe even the first British release I've downloaded from 8bitpeoples. The Scottish accent can be very nice when it sings, as can be heard in a lot of songs by Biffy Clyro or Sucioperro.

You can get the album here, or check out their MySpace. They're also currently touring with Anamanaguchi, my favourite chiptune band.

Free Release: Sinfonia for the Blunt Sword

kARHu

Apart from being a brand of Finnish beer, kARHu is an experimental progressive electronic outfit. I know there's a hell of a lot out there since the internet caught on, but this one is a keeper. Mellow ambience meets glitchy hip-hop, it feels like those interlude tracks you always secretly loved more than the rest of the album. They've just released a nineteen-track album under a Creative Commons license, which is good news for everyone because it means you can listen to it right now.
