Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

Red Bus - Red Bus (2008) + Red Bus 2 (2009)

















For today I wanted to share a pair of releases (so much fun making those two covers fit on the top) from Audio Recon, one of which is still available for free download on their WordPress while the other is no longer available and hence fits our stringent standards of postability. However, both are great, so I figured why not make it a package deal, Red Bus 2 is offered for free so it's not like anyone's losing out.

Anyway Red Bus is a collaboration between Lorax of Cicada Shells / Echomaker and Yeti-One of The Algebraists, and possibly others but I haven't been able to find out anything definitive. But two of Indiana's finest indie emcees, rhyming over psychedelic folk rock samples make for two very enjoyable and worthy selections for the discerning indie listener's harddrive. I especially enjoy the closing track of the second EP, even if the rest wasn't dope "Let's Walk" would make your <2 minutes spent downloading totally worth it.

Enjoy Red Bus and Red Bus 2!
