Seems like it's going to be a pretty good year for Slumberland Records . They've already tossed out the new Wax Idols/Girls Names/Golden Grrrls LPs, and now they're set to release Long Enough to Leave on June 18th. On the latest hit from The Mantles , the group offers up a bit of nostalgia to go with their blend of garage-pop; it's current, but could easily fit into the late 60s. There's definitely an evolving spirit from the San Fran/Oakland group that [...]
Long Enough To Leave out June 18 on Slumberland Records.
Rewind a year and a half ago. The two major mashup artists on the scene in America were arguably 3LAU & Kap Slap, who brought an exciting and fresh production value to mashups. Now, nearly two years on, both have gone from producing mashups as a side project into full on musical production. Today marks [...]

These days, we have addicted to YouTube playlists. We just plug ithe names of our favorite artists and go along for a journey constructed by another fan. Sometimes we stumble upon some little tracks that we have forgotten but have really impacted us in our lives at one point in time - this is one of these tracks. Sarah McLachlan's "Fear" was on a live album called Mirrorball , which is probably the best live album out there. At any rate, brace yourself for some goosebumps - having the lyrics in front of [...]
Joey Skarzenski, the one we know well as HELIOS has graced us with yet another deep house joyride through today's latest and greatest. While it may be "hip" of you to jump on the deep house train, our friend HELIOS has been on top of releases long before you first heard Disclosure or "So Good To Me" this past Sunday night at the close of UMF week one. What really stands out about HELIOS however, is not a "I was first" attitude,but a mixing ability and selection, which as we all [...]

The new Cash Money Signees , The Stafford Brothers , bring us this LA Riot's Remix of "Hello" , accompanied by Christina Milian and Lil Wayne . Pleather's remix of Hello stands in stark contrast to the original version of the track. With an emotional chord progression it feels more like an 80s love ballad than a club anthem. The minimal breakdowns highlight the vocals of Christina Milian and Lil Wayne , while the vintage percussion hits and arpeggiated bassline further contribute to a sound that will take you [...]

T.I. has been pumping out the new jams lately, and he's keeping MOST of his Rubberband Man image intact. I only say "most", because a family man can only rap so much about "husslin", "pimpin", and gettin dat grind. Especially if he's "totally straight" now. This new one titled Hello features sultry vocals by Mr. Cee Lo Green . "Just keep going, don't look back, look forward from where you're at"...very encouraging lyrics from an artist so inclined to make that "trap music". "Press that peddle to the max, count the money in your [...]
Say hello to your new favorite eclectic folk rock band. Say "Oh, hello," that is. Texas brother-sister duo Maggie and Tyler Heath, who make beautiful music under the moniker The Oh Hellos, have sung their way into my heart with their first full-length record, Through the Deep, Dark Valley, released independently on October 30. The self-proclaimed "concept album" works best when its tracks are heard all together, chronologically. But the lyrically-rich, harmony-full songs also hold their own as individual stories of longing and innocence with a twinge of mysticism. The [...]

Modern Inventors have devised their own unique musical niche in a staggeringly short amount of time, but Matt Kass and Josh Benus are not in the business of cheap thrills. The Philadelphia-based duo, whose debut album "Trains & Aeroplanes" will be self-released in December 2012, craft songs as if they were pieces of abstract art that patiently blossom into view; carefully rendered arrangements, heartbreaking harmonies and dense turns of phrases slowly creep up into the foreground upon repeated listens. The single "Hello," for instance, is an ode to suburban teenage angst inspired by acclaimed American painter Eric Fischl. "Goodbye [...]
