There's no exact way of knowing how many songs are released in a day. Whether it be an eighteen second kazoo ditty on Soundcloud, or a Hypem track with 4 hearts, all music deserves a shot. Even on an independent blog like Earmilk, it's impossible to cover every band/song/remix worth listening too. That's why Straight From the Teet is back, and this time…IT'S DAILY! My name is Logan (aka Running) and I will be curating Earmilk's newest old feature, highlighting two up-and-coming artists from two different genres, so sit back and enjoy some good-old-fashioned, non-pasteurized, Earmilk. Drink it fast though, because I'll be coming back tomorrow with more…
Psychedelic
A few weeks ago I featured a Texas based project called The Vliets on SFTT and today I'm back with yet another great ambient psychedelic troupe from the lone star state. Black Books have recently had success with their release An Introduction To… which is the precursor to their upcoming fall record. Take a listen and be sure to check back on SFTT for more info regarding their upcoming release. (Both tracks are from An Introduction To…)

Black Books – "Silver Lining"
Post-Rock
I love instrumentals, especially when they make me want to break out in interpretive dance or watch a (500) Days Of Summer on mute. Atlantic Drop makes me do these things. Their brand of undulating, guitar-driven, post-rock falls somewhere between Radiohead and Sigur Rós (not to pigeonhole them), and is worthy of listen after listen. Check out highlights from their latest ae here on SFTT or download the whole thing off Bandcamp.
