The Lady Gaga re-release, The Fame Monster, is still scheduled for release here in the UK and should be hitting shelves Monday 23rd - you can order it from here. After several listens, the 8 new tracks aren't far removed from her debut album and while still great party tracks, I was expecting something a little more interesting from one of both mainstream and underground's most innovative new ...

What a lovely surprise! Ever since the sensational yet overrated Merriweather Post Pavillion album, I've been fascinated by the new, more coherent Animal Collective. To top of their year long reign at the top, AnCo are releasing a lovely little EP. Finally, an official version of "What Would I Want? Sky"! The opening track, Graze, is streamed below. You can download the five track EP digitally ...

Baltimore hustler, Rye Rye, was supposed to release her debut album sixth months ago, but in true Kid Sister style, it's been delayed until god knows when. Co-produced by ya boy Blaqstarr and wonder woman, MIA, the album may feature a track entitled Witch Doctor.

Nearly three years ago Chi-town Hipster, Kid Sister, promised us an album. Ever since that day we've had reoccuring dreams, waiting for this very day and finally, after at least five(!) delayed release dates, I sit here with an estimated 45 seconds left, until the album official lands.Before you ask if it was worth the wait, I'll cut the crap and just say it: no, not really. However, similar t...

American dream pop duo, Beach House, will be kick starting 2010 with their third album, Teen Dream. The Baltimore natives have been hibernating in NYC for the past year, recording the ten track LP with producer Chris Coady of TVOR fame. Having only discovered Beach House a few months back, their 2008 single Gila quickly became one of our all-time favourite tracks and soundtracked an incredible ...

2009 PlaylistHipster Run Off dude made an interesting comment about the Atlas Sound LP, Logos. It follows a "model" of having "2.5 obviously good songs" and then falls into ambient space of "kewl sounding parts". I never really thought about it at the time, but Carles is kinda right. It doesn't mean Logos, wasn't good. For sure, the ambient shit he creates is top notch beauty but it's the kind...

2009PlaylistWe posted about Deadboy not long ago and just explained about how excited we were for their upcoming release, the U Cheated EP. We finally got round to purchasing it and giving it a deep listen and now we're ready to concluded that it's one of the finest piece of UK Underground we've heard since the genre was first defined.Making us proud to be British, the track sticks on a soulful...

While M.I.A. kills it at the Jimmy Choo for H&M launch, we discover a dark secret from the Three 6 Mafia co-founder, Juicy J. Fillin' in for the hook on a new Juicy J track off his Hustle Till I Die LP, is our top girl, M.I.A. It's a slow and grumbling track that trotts along, leaving you desperate to hear M.I.A's chorus again and again. Although it's surprising to hear the political figure ch...

Spooky piece of hot electro from Brooklyn trio, Idle Warship, featuring the ever-innovative Blaqstarr and a wispy Little Boots sample.

I feel kinda weird about songs that use real names in their lyrics. Besides making me think who the fuck is Laura?, I almost feel like I'm listening in on something I shouldn't be: something intimate between two people. Wait a minute. What I'm talking about! I'm always eavesdropping.We were wayyyyyyy too slow to pick up on Girls' album. Better late than never, I suppose and now I'm left with a ...

In a simple sort of way, you could say October 2009 has been a good month for music. With brand new material from Yeasayer, Vampire Weekend and LCD Soundsystem as well as crazy mixes from Venom&Damage, Memory Tapes and the XX, we can all feel pretty satisfied with what's happening right now and with what's about to come. Take a look back at the month with out top ten countdown of the most popu...

Yeasayer's debut single "Sunrise" is surely one of the most enchanting songs of the last few years. Singer Chris Keating's voice was chilling and those drums were enormous. I hadn't heard anything so authentic in a long time. Unfortunately as Yeasayer return, it seems they've swapped their uniqueness for mediocre pop. The new single from their second album "Odd Blood", is a jolly joint with an ...

At ECOUTEZ we spend everyday dreaming of new M.I.A material. We spend just as much time praying for more Animal Collective, but listening to rowdy M.I.A. and complex Animal Collective require two different states of mind, wouldn't you say? So what is your first reaction when you're told M.I.A.'s new work sounds "totally bizarre" and heads "towards Animal Collective"? "Animal Collective meets Gu...
