Watch 'Situation' here. Like Making Friendz on Facebook. Follow Kordan on Twitter. MP3: Making Friendz - Reject Me (Kordan Mix)

Making Friendz is a new project from MEN bassist Tami Hart. Their debut, Social Life , drops on June 21st, and though their core sound falls very much into the lo-fi R&B camp, all bets are off when Brooklyn dream-poppers Kordan get their pesky hands into the mix. Nonetheless, MOKB is pleased to bring you the premiere of this expansive remix, which feels like it gets way out into Everything But The Girl territory. MP3 : Making Friendz - Reject [...]

Coming across a remix that injects the perfect sounds into the perfect vocals does not happen very often in this insane world of beat mish-mashing, but oh how sweet it was to come across collaborators that should set up shop together. Sacramento's Sister Crayon , a softer, more acoustic quarter led by Terra Lopez, who's vocals sound like an ethereal hymn you want to be haunted by, lend "Same Person" to Kordan, a Brooklyn-based trio whose sounds are born from the rave and indie movement in Puerto Rico (so of course, I loved them instantly for representing).read more and [...]

Kordan have just released a new video to their shoegazing track Closer. Beautiful track for a lazy Sunday afternoon from their amazing debut The Longing. The band is also working on their follow-up , so hopefully we'll soon have some new tracks as well. Until then, enjoy! Artist.Site

Kordan 's shoegaze-electro sound with synths and bleak soundscapes, first received attention and acclaim from Cut Copy, who chose them to open for tours across North America in 2008. Since then, they've played with The Drums and dream pop aces The Mary Onettes, gaining a steady following. Their debut album "The Longing" foretells a broken love story in the hazy metropolis of Tokyo, circa 2036. The story is told over post-punk rhythms that evoke haunting imagery and macabre overtones a la The Cure and Bauhaus, as well as waves of guitar distortion and pulsating beats to reflect energy [...]

Ein wenig spät für einen Jahresrückblick, aber ich rede mich einfach mal damit raus, daß ich zu Beginn des Jahres noch kein eigenes Blog hatte. Zumindest kein aktives. Hier also so als kleiner Rückblick, die 3 Alben des vergangenen Jahres, die ich gefühlt am häufigsten gehört oder zumindest als am Schönsten empfunden habe. Der Gerechtigkeit halber sei erwähnt, daß eigene Produktionen meiner Labels bei dieser Bewertung außen vor waren. Contre Jour "One Night At The Station" Was für ein großartiges Debüt, welches ich durch [...]
Much to dig … Killer Nuggets -y rock from Mind Spiders (ex- Marked Men ). Super trio Middle Brother brings the type of rootsy harmonies you expect (and love) from ex- Dawes , Deer Tick , Delta Spirit members. Ex- Vivian Girls singer Katy Goodman goes off on her own for a sweet La Sera . Panda Bear helps Ducktails ready for a new LP. Shout out to MattO for getting the Kordan jam lodged in my head and stuck on repeat. Finally a 3-day, lazy weekend bonus [...]

Tronik Youth - Think Kordan - Mirror Diamond Rings - Something Else Jon Hopkins - Light Through The Veins

Kordan is an indie rock / dream pop band from Brooklyn. Influenced by the guitar drones of shoegazers Ride , Swervedriver and The Jesus and Mary Chain , along with the propulsive, post-punk rhythms and synths of Joy Division , Arthur (vocals/guitar), Liz (vocals/synth), and Gabo (bass) create lush textures, pulsating beats, and somber melodies. In the summer of 2009 Kordan released their demo recordings as the Fantasy Nation EP, a record tinged by futuristic visions and Japanese street culture that were expanded in the trio's first-full length [...]

The Longing, Kordan Last Bummer Records, USA Rating: 77 By Blanca Méndez You stand in the middle of an empty street in the darkness of early morning, a cold fog creeping toward you in the absolute silence. A light flickers feebly in the window of a nearby warehouse, and in the distance rows of sleek, silver skyscrapers carve a jagged skyline. The year is 2036 and the city is Tokyo and you're breaking all kinds of rules by being out at night. So is whoever left that light on in the warehouse. This is Kordan's vision [...]
