Amor de Días—the duo of Alasdair Maclean (Clientele) and Lupe Núñez-Fernández (Pipas)—just released debut album Street Of The Love Of Days via Merge. (Those of you who speak Spanish know that the band’s moniker translates to “love of days,” hence the album title.) Maclean and Núñez-Fernández worked on the 15-track LP for more than three years, and it features guest spots by the likes of Louis Philippe, Damon & Naomi, Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor) and Danny Manners. Maclean and Núñez-Fernández will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with them.
Núñez-Fernández: I’ve been a huge Comet Gain fan for as long as I can remember. I think David is an amazing songwriter, I’m forever in awe of Rachel’s singing, and you can’t beat seeing the whole band doing their thing live. To me, they are the spirit of collective diy. My first band, Pipas, was definitely inspired by them. One of my favorite things about living in London has always been being able to go to their shows, so imagine my excitement when I got to see them in the studio last year working on their new album and getting to sing “oooohs” and “aahs” on a couple of their songs. Maybe I’m partial, but I think it’s their best yet. They are still completely unparalleled. Their music will save us.

Vetiver’s fifth full-length, The Errant Charm, was just released by Sub Pop. The follow-up to 2009’s Tight Knit, the new 10-track collection was initially conceived in the L.A. studio of producer Thom Monahan, where he and Vetiver main man Andy Cabic worked on the song ideas Cabic brought with him. These tracks were then fleshed out in a Hoboken, N.J., studio with the rest of the members of Vetiver. Download The Errant Charm tracks “Wonder Why” and “Can’t You Tell” below, watch the video for “Wonder Why,” and catch the band on its current European tour.

With the exception of the Gallaghers, there have been many bands throughout the years that have proved that siblings make the best bandmates. This theory is reinforced by JEFF The Brotherhood, a group formed by the literal brotherhood of Jake and Jamin Orrall. Producing their own albums through their family-owned record label, Infinity Cat Recordings, the Nashville duo’s DIY attitude adds just the right amount of natural grit to its latest album, We Are The Champions. Plus, the band will play literally anytime and anywhere, clocking in at a whopping 230 shows in the past year. This week’s mix tape was made by Jake. Check it out below.

Mountain “Never In My Life”
Mountain is the sickest band ever. The riffs, the voice, the energy—all insane. They do the second best cover of “Satisfaction” ever. Felix produced a lot of really dope records. Video
Cerrone “Take Me”
My buddy David turned me on to Cerrone last year, widely considered one of the greatest disco producers of all time. I would also say he’s one of the best music-video producers of all time. Video
Charles Wright “Comment”
Didn’t know this guy was still at it. Thats why YouTube rules. He’s amazing and always has been. Video
Space “Magic Fly”
My buddy David turned me on to this song. So wicked, and the music video might be my fave ever. Video
Bloodrock “Lucky In The Morning”
Love this band so much, and the kickdrum in this song is ridiculous. Really keeps it going super hard. Monster riffage. Video
Budgie “Breadfan”
Love this studio performance of one of the best Budgie songs. That riff is ultimate. Burke Shelley’s voice is so so wicked. Video
Curved Air “Backstreet Luv”
One of my fave progressive-rock bands of the ’70s. Everything about them was awesome and over the top. Video
Les Rallizes Denudes
When a roommate turned me on to this band, I was 18 and pretty unaware that anything like this could exist. Needless to say, this band blew my mind and opened me up to a whole world of music and musical possibilities. Video, video and video
Quintron And Miss Pussycat “Witch In The Club”
Definitely two of the coolest artists of our generation. Love this jam. Prolly the most fun you will ever have at a show. Video
Chromatics “Hands In The Dark”
Real, real smooth music. Video
