The duo have now surfaced 'Tremors,' the track features Dark Star and will be the second release (third to see daylight soon) from that effort. Another gloomy piece of atmospheric pop we'd enjoy any day. Stream the listen below. Peace, love and Catherine Pockson! Apines + Dark Sky - Tremors
![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – POLIÇA](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3975803_lg.jpg)
Tweet Last year saw a big resurgence in (good sounding) R'n'B music, with artists like The Weeknd , Frank Ocean or Active Child , among others, fronting what came to be known as PBR'n'B (a movement we obviously loved, seeing as how all three artists are on our Best Albums of 2011 list ). Today, I am pleased to welcome Minneapolis band POLIÇA to the movement. [...]
Todays Music For Horses songs are very good. Not that they usually aren't, but I reckon these are up there with the best. One is new and one is old. Let's get it started with the new song. I was sent this a couple of days ago and I've been listening to it a lot. It's got a Radiohead feel to it, with a delicate vocal over the top of a distorted electronic trip-hop influenced instrumental. It's sophisticated, grown up and really good. And you can download it for free from his website for a limited time. Just click on [...]
Lucky us! Minneapolis-based quartet Polica were set to release their debut album around Valentine's Day, but they dropped it 2 months early... That's right folks, when you totally dig the song I've included below, you can go out and buy Give You The Ghost to keep! And here's why you should get it (from our good friends over at Consequence Of Sound ): " Gayngs mastermind Ryan Olson co-produced Give You the Ghost with Spoon's Jim Eno, who's widely acknowledged as one of the best drummers today, and the resulting post-prog-rock percussion and mellifluous [...]
Vocalist Channy Leaneagh and producer/electronica wiz Ryan Olson (GAYNGS) have merged their particular talents for dreamy alt-pop with a subtle, beat-friendly R+B tip with the formation of Poliça and a mesmerizing new album Give You The Ghost arriving January 24. We knew they must be doing something right when we heard Leaneagh's subtley auto-tuned vocals and didn't have our usual reaction (digust, dismay, disinterest) -- maybe it's the killer, hooky melodies, maybe it just fits with the whole updated lush trip-hop feel, but for some reason it just works. Bon Iver's Mike [...]
Fader tipped us off to this funky, brass-laden yet reflective song from an obscure yet emerging indie band. Singer Channy Casselle echoes like distant lounge diva and the beat begs us to clap along. Good stuff, looking forward to hearing Polica's debut. Polica, "Dark Star" by The FADER
One of the (many) things I really love about group rock improv is how, seemingly more adeptly than any other genre, it can run the gamut from sheer heavens-raining-down-upon-you bliss to utterly unhinged psychedelic skullfuckery. Of course, since it's Halloween, here's a couple examples of the latter, from the two bands that do it best. In this New Years run monster the boys let you up for air a couple times in the midst of plunging you into the depths of your worst fears: Phish: David Bowie (1994/12/29 Live At Providence Civic Center, [...]
A couple of points - first, does anybody remember t.A.T.u? We loved t.A.T.u. Not only did they manage to get everyone a bit hot under the collar with their faux-lesbian antics and full on nudity / shooting pregnant women shock tactic videos but they were (possibly) the inspiration for the drunken capital letter mix up that is tUnE-yArDs . Second 'the kids' love a bit of electronic heaviness don't they? It really is the sound that defines our times. [...]
Preview: Field Day, Victoria Park, London, 6th August 2011. ( Tickets - Nearly SOLD OUT) Download the This Music Wins Field Day Mix Enthused so predictably by the childish wave of excitement which unfailingly accompanies the purchase of music festival tickets, I thought that time, now, the best time for me to vent my strong sense of anticipation for Field Day 2011 in to some sort of light contemplative prose. The form of this preview, therefore, is that of me [...]
From cold, wet Northern England is where Darkstar formed to create the hazy renderings of North . Slow and pulsing, it's trance like melodies will tug at your subconscious and leave you in a dream-like fog. Vocalist James Buttery has, as his name implies, a smooth voice that glides alongside the bands reverberating baselines. Preview a taste of the emotive North below.

So this is festival season then isn't it!? Can't say I've been that wildly impressed so far. Basically it's just made me skint, I've had to hang out in the rain and watch a tiny man on a massive stage dj to a crowd of people who are staring and seem completely unprovoked to move or make any contribution to the world of dance, by busting some funked out hip hop treble step side wind glide biz, .….. Luckily though I remembered that main stages suck face so I wondered off to the second or even third stage and hark [...]
В прошлом году Darkstar показали миру, как должен звучать синт-поп, охваченный компьютерной печалью. Оказывается, ещё до появления третьего участника команды, сразу после выхода успешного сингла «Aidy's Girl Is а Computer», на начало 2010 года был анонсирован выход дебютного альбома «Check My Machine», работа над которым была почти завершена, но на финальный вариант «North» попали совершенно другие версии композиций. По каким-то причинам Hyperdub иногда выкладывает некоторые вещи, которые должны были войти в «Check My Machine» - вслед за неотёсанной версией «Gold», через официальный твиттер группы была выложена неизданная ранее композиция «Digital». Этот материал заставляет не терять надежды, что однажды мы услышим [...]
After an impressive first installment last year, the Body & Soul festival once again sprung up in the grounds of Ballinlough Castle in Westmeath for a two-day feast of great music and good vibes. The festival grounds were much the same as last year, with a few minor tweaks augmenting the experience. It remains a tiny festival, though one with enough nooks and crannies to get lost in, should the need to retreat from the music arise. After queuing in the rain for a spell before pitching a tent, the first act a rather damp State catches is [...]
Darkstar were "post dubstep" before, whichever bored journalist who coined the term, existed. Labelled a cross between Radiohead, garage and some synthy Cali rock/pop band all rapped up and made to stew in dubstep and bass weight for a good few months, serve with gravy and peppered sauce for best results. After a bucket load of time spent on their first album , they decided that it was actually shit and binned the entire thing. Which meant the duo were literally gearing up for life on the streets, not in the urban bad man way, more like [...]
This post was inevitable. It seems everyone wants a piece of the very talented blueswoman's mega hit "Rolling in the Deep". As a result, some impressive remixes have been released over the last few months. Here are a few of my favorites. First up is solid dubstep remix by MartyParty and Minnesota's new project, Darkstar . This remix is heavy and melodic-everything I want dubstep to be. Adele- Rolling in the Deep (Deathstar Remix feat. Marty Party & Minnesota) [...]
