The music world received it’s second dose of Vampire Weekend’s new album Contra (out Jan. 11th) the other day with the new track/video for “Cousins”. It’s a fast paced energetic FUN song as is the video. I like it. Check it:mp3: Vampire Weekend – Cousinsextra->mp3: Vampire Weekend – Horchata

I was pretty bummed out when I heard Harlem Shakes had disbanded. I had been a long time fan and was also quite pleased with their debut LP Technicolor Health. It’s not all a loss, because now Harlem Shakes’ guitarist Todd Goldstein can put all his effort towards his solo project in ARMS. Back in [...]

Baltimore’s Beach House gave us all a treat yesterday when they unveiled the first taste of the upcoming third album Teen Dream with the track “Norway”. To say this track is great is an understatement. It’s friggin golden and is making this week sound soooo much better. For this album Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally [...]

There’s a few bands these days that I’m truly pumped to hear more from. One of them is New York’s Dinosaur Feathers. Earlier this year I posted about them regarding their first wickedly awesome single “Know Your Own Strength”. They now have a full EP out entitled Early Morning Risers and you can get the [...]

New York’s Penguin Prison has been a recent addition to my listening pleasures this week with a solid single in “Animal Animal” (which has one of my favorite new random lyrics in “I wish Mike Tyson was my friend then I would tell him everything”) and “A Funny Thing”. He doesn’t crack the sky open [...]

Last October I happened upon a sweet Denver band Young Coyotes. Their brand of indie rock brought about comparisons to Pinback and Arcade Fire. I didn’t know much about them then and I still don’t, but apparently they noticed my post because a month ago Zach Tipton of Young Coyotes sent me an email asking [...]

Arizona’s Death To The Throne have taken the soft and timid “Shelter” off the The xx’s debut album and revamped it for the club for sure. The intro to this remix makes it so much better…sparse with Knife-like synths pulsing in the background…no drums…just the anticipation of them…then it all kicks in and the lights [...]

Brooklyn’s Air Waves, the musical project of Nicole Schneit, has caught me by surprise today…in a good way. Some say it’s simple, but I’ll say it’s pure. Some say it’s folk. Some say it’s punk. I’ll say it’s fulk (a clever combination of both, but really more experimental folk than anything else). Really categorizing Air [...]

That new Yeasayer single “Ambling Alp” has been burning up my speakers as of late. Memory Tapes has long since killed my speakers with the fab Seek Magic album. These two speaker killing forces meet up when Memory Tapes wrangles “Ambling Alp” like only he can.mp3: Yeasayer – Ambling Alp (Memory Tapes Remix)In other Memory [...]

The genre of electronic pop music has become crowded as of late hasn’t it? A voice and a keyboard can grab the attention of the masses so easy, but it can also fade away just as easily. That’s exactly what Sweden’s Little Dragon does not do…fade away. Sure they’re electronic pop, but, as their second [...]

So my morning routine was rather boring until this nice little email from The Hood Internet popped up letting me know that their 4th mixtape installment was out and ready for a free download. It’s loaded with stunning mash-ups, some featured on our site previously, and some we quite frankly might have missed somewhere down [...]

I could not seem to scrape up a whole lot on Brooklyn’s Sensual Harassment besides the fact that they describe themselves as “a Reptilian Humanoid alliance utilizing sonic mind control through beat-driven psych-pop.”Once I cranked up their two song Soldier/Daddy Long Legs single I was lost among the new wave pop heaven. The singles were [...]

When I first heard that Passion Pit had remixed England’s Max Tundra and his track “Which Song” I really wasn’t surprised. The two of them have that quirky electronic pop/coolness that bonds them together instantly. But I must say the remix PP put out is strong…especially the over-drive synths that kick in. I’ve never completely [...]

Chicago’s The Race have crept their way into my subconscious and are currently tinkering with important brain waves whilst I try to get some work done…their music is fueling my creativity and pushing me over the edge. I immediately compare them to Depeche Mode, but a little rougher…so naturally that would line them up with [...]

What happens when one electronic disco artist clashes with another? Great things. France’s premier disco-house dj Fred Falke has reworked the epic disco masterpiece “Warm In The Shadows” by California’s Music Go Music. The result is classic Falke. No big surprise since the original has a similar vibe to his sound. Check it:mp3: Music Go [...]

If you don’t own a copy of The Antlers‘ Hospice, you need to drop everything and go grab yourself a copy. It’s one of this year’s best for sure. With the success of an album like this, fan made videos usual pop up all over Youtube. workprods puts together a perfect slideshow of images set [...]

This past summer Heartbreakbeat Records released a stunning split family affair EP featuring Baltimore/Houston artist Jana Hunter and her brother John Hunter’s band Inoculist. Jana Hunter has long been in my ears, but I had yet to hear her bro’s band and this split has me focused and ready for more. Inoculist was started as [...]

I’ve gotta hand it to The xx…they’re pretty good at being awesome. They’ve produced one of the more memorable debuts albums this year and are also lighting up the nets with some solid remixes. One of those remixes, a redux of Florence + the Machines “You’ve Got The Love”, is receiving a whole lotta attention, [...]

When Cut Copy hand picks a band out of a sea of demos to come on tour with them for some select east coast shows…it helps you get noticed. This is the case for New York’s Kordan aka Arthur Eisle. His demos were featured on NY’s East Village Radio when Cut Copy were hosting it [...]
