" Sofia has gotten the balance just right. It is amply- but neither under- or overly-produced. Vocal layering and instruments add just the right amount of texture to the material. Stunning. " TOANWTS reviewed by Musical Discoveries and was appointed 5 stars! Thanks Sofia Talvik photo: Gustaf Waesterberg
Take Vampire Weekend's producer and keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij, put him together with Ra Ra Riot's lead singer Wesley Miles - and you have Discovery. Discovery's heavy electronic sound is very upbeat, poppy, and pleasant on the ears. This collaboration's only studio album has the self-explanatory title of "LP". Discovery - Orange Shirt Download audio file (01-Orange-Shirt.mp3) The album includes a re-worked Ra Ra Riot song, as well as a Michael Jackson Cover. Ezra Koenig even makes a guest appearance on the track "Carby". [...]
Following in the footsteps of French Soul revivalist Ben L'Oncle Soul , here comes singer/songwriter Leon . This newcomer of congolese descent, based in Toulouse, in the South West of France, will release his debut album "Chocolate" in March. An effort heavily influenced by Stax and Motown's greats, encompassing such genres as Funk, Soul and Gospel and borrowing to the timeless sound of Southern Soul legends Eddie Floyd and Sam & Dave . Listen to the track "Promess Of Love right below, a [...]
Feels like I'm jumping on the bandwagon with the following artist, as he's been praised by every single blogger out there already, while music journalists from The Guardian to the BBC have been raving about him. 24 year old London based singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has just been named the winner of the BBC Sound of 2012 poll, and it's safe to say that his upcoming album, " Home Again" , might just become one of the most meaningful Soul records of the year, [...]

"Hydrothermal vents are home to animals found nowhere else on the planet that get their energy not from the Sun but from breaking down chemicals, such as hydrogen sulphide. The first survey of these particular vents, in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, has revealed a hot, dark, 'lost world' in which whole communities of previously unknown marine organisms thrive." - Researcher Alex Rogers , of Oxford University, on the newly discovered species of crab and octopus living 2,000 meters below sea level.
What do you get when you mix the alternative rock stylings of Ra Ra Riot and the indie pop lines and rhythm section of Vampire Weekend? The answer to this rhetorical question is Discovery: a band made up of Wes Miles (Vocals: Ra Ra Riot) and Rostam Batmanglij (Keyboards, Guitar, Backing Vocals: Vampire Weekend). It's like listening to synth candy, like Fine Young Cannibals meets Jackson 5. Actually, Discovery did cover young Michael Jackson and his brother's "I Want You Back" not coincidentally to that analysis. Regardless, they've received deserved praise for their R&B tempo-bending synth-pop. This project [...]
Discovery is the brainchild of Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and Wesley Miles of Ra Ra Riot – although if I had to guess before I googled, I would have put my money on a collaboration between Regina Spektor and MGMT, with their melding of effortless (and sometimes dolphin sound-esque) lyrics backed by some addictive indietronica. In any case, it made me really happy when I learned that two artists from two of my favorite bands had collaborated and had created their own, entirely distinct and beautiful sound. Give "Swing tree" off their 2009 [...]

Discovery Recordings seems like most logical step for the established New York party. I attended the Discovery 2 Year Anniversary (pictured) a couple months ago and I can assure you it was one of the best events I've been to. Therefore, I'm confident the label will be just as crispy. For the new label's first release, Free Magic and Jkriv ( Deep & Disco ) put together a stunning two track EP entitled Chant and Sing . Much like the tone of Free Magic's Bizzies Mix , "Chant" and "Sing" are organic, free-flowing House [...]
I've become a bit of an Applications, or apps, nut recently. There are some pretty amazing music making, and discovery apps out there. Soundcloud and Spotify lead the way in the sharing and discovery department, but there are many others with a unique and specific approach which help fine-tuned music geeks and those looking for [...]

Well this is something : US scientists have found two interstellar clouds of original gas, which contain only original elements created moments after the universe's birth. Unlike everything else in the universe — the gas clouds have never mingled with elements forged later in stars. The existence of pristine gas that formed minutes after the Big Bang explosion some 13.7 billion years ago, had been predicted, but never before observed. The clouds, which are located about 12 billion light-years from Earth within the constellations Ursa Major and Leo, were [...]
hooray for earth - true love [from the mind of noel heroux comes the large sound of hooray for earth, a bombastic almost orchestral rock outfit that just kicks it big. a weirdly appropriate soundtrack for our chilly days and a nice addition to our discovery section!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

cashier no 9 - oh pity [there's something so 90's manchester sounding about these boys (which is a good thing in my book), but surprisingly they hail from belfast ireland. my bud tom tipped me on these baggy boys a week ago and lo and behold 7 days later the influential bbc 6 playlisted this tune. nice one! if you're feeling a tad nostalgic for the MADchester days, press play now!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
