There are many times when it's wonderful to live in New York City, yet few times are quite as amazing as these next fews weeks, a time when tons and tons of amazing bands come through town before they make their way down to Austin, Texas for SXSW . It does make sense, what better way to build up some hype before the year's most important music festival/conference than playing shows in New York City? With Tennis , Body Language , School of Seven Bells , Stepdad , Craig Finn , [...]
Foto: Paul Mcgeiver High Highs er tre australiere, der er bosat i New York. Vi er ovre et miks mellem folk, country og eletronica. Ordet sfærisk synes oplagt at sætte foran disse genrebetegnelser. Nu jeg tænker over det, kunne man også i kraft af musikkens dømmende karakter og relative catchiness sagtens kategorisere musikken som dreampop. Yep, genrebetegnelser er tydeligv is en konstruktion, så måske skulle jeg sætte nogle ord på virkemidlerne i stedet. Blide strøg på akustisk guitar, subtile synths samt nærmest terapeutisk lindrende højfrekvente vokaler er en cocktail, der går rent ind hos mig. Hvis [...]
[Recent remixes that have come across our radar. They may help bring the weekend faster...] Active Child , "Johnny Belinda (White Arrows Remix)" — L.A. electro rockers White Arrows give the last track on Active Child's "You Are All I See" a little boost by dropping a beat and adding shiny synth riffs, slightly changing it from a somber tune to a slick one. White Arrows play Feb. 23 at the Observatory with Starfucker and Feb. 25 at the Echoplex [...]

Trippple Nippples got reworked by remix wiz Oli Chang for their song Golden Road and it is a beauty worth your ear's attention. Oli is probably better known for his contributions to the up and coming High Highs . For those not familiar with Trippple Nippples, the group consists of Qrea Nippple, Yuka Nippple and Nabe Nippple, who all hail from Tokyo, Japan. They have been together since 2005 and are known for their outrageous live shows that push the limits so much that have found themselves banned [...]
Trippple Nippples - Golden Road ( Oli Chang Remix) In this past week the High Highs' Oli Chang has dropped half a dozen amazing new remixes over on his Sndcld . Don't miss his redo of Empire of the Sun 's "Walking on the Sun" and Millionyoung "Replicants" - all stripped naked and repainted with piano and atmospherics. Absolutely lovely. Oh, and speaking of the women of Tokyo's Trippple Nippples… I can't wait to tell you about #MEGABLAAG SXSW 2012. Sayin'. Shhhh. Here . Shhhh.
High Highs release intimate visuals directed by Video Marsh for their brilliant cut 'Flowers Bloom' from the duo's self titled Ep. Dreamy pop to start your day off.
The year is coming to a close, and in less than a week 2011 will be no more than a memory. As we set our resolutions and prepare for the next chapter in our lives, many of us will be reflecting on the past year and the events that defined it - both for ourselves and society. For Earmilk , every year is defined by the music it brings to the table. We live and breath music over here, celebrating it to the highest extent as well as scrutinizing it to the finest detail. The beautiful thing about music [...]
