"You're too perfect to be true" the inscrutable vocalist strung up in Ang Low croons on début release, Life Goes Down and really rather appositely, the song itself truly claws at a nigh on unfeasible perfection. Bursting with emotive synths, becoming presets and adolescent promises concerning the swift dismissal of promiscuity ("There will never be another like you, baby/ You will never have to worry about my heart", etc.), first songs from newly fabricated bands really shouldn't sound this consummate – months of musical refinement and line up reconfigurations should have to prelude things of such intimate brilliance. An [...]

A curiously deviant strain of techno known as “ Negative Rave ” has reared its sickly head in South Florida - and Miami-based artist Brad Lovett is dominating the scene with his one-man soundscape breakdown, Dim Past . He’s been enchanting club-goers for some time with his array of defunct electronic gizmos (that’s right – no computers), but on July 2nd Florida-based label Other Electricities will release his very first EP, Black Dolphin . This mix of dense, organic tunes merge house beats and techno style with raw currants of reverberating sounds, [...]
Wenn einem zwei heiße Frauen Holzstücke wie eine Schrottflinte ins Gesicht halten, bleibt einem eigentlich nichts anderes übrig als kurz zu verharren. Beim Durchblättern der aktuellen Musikexpress blieb ich aber nicht nur wegen dem Bild auf der Seite hängen, sondern auch wegen der Betitelung "Next Big Ding". Na dann wollen wir doch mal schauen, was das Next Big Ding ist. Mit dem Outfit haben sie auf jeden Fall schon mal mein Interesse geweckt. Jen Turner (früher bei Here We Go Magic) und Henri Tiefenthaler kommen aus Los Angeles und machen von CAN und NEU! inspirierten psychedelischen Krautrock. Also, wenn [...]

Quintessential summertime music makers Poolside are back with a new single “If We Make It,” and just in time too.

It’s the perfect track for a taking it easy on long, hot summer night. Stream it below. [...]

"If you shut your eyes it'll be alright. If you shut your eyes it'll be alright" sings Figures frontwoman Jillian Medford with about as much conviction as someone who already knows that she could repeat those lines forever without ever achieving the desired effect. Figures hail from LA are led, rather thrillingly, by the Medford's rapturous and invigorating vocal chords. Their Monsters EP is proving to be a slow-burning success story, measuredly finding its way to a larger and more adoring fanbase. It's not hard to see why either. [...]
Jerome Potter came to Fortune Sound last month for the first ESC CTRL Shift event, after his hour set I got to drink and chat with him. We talked about him, his interests and what's to come, check it out! Q: First, what attracted you to the whole web 1.0 scene? I did the first video in that style in August 2010 and at that time I was influenced by people in Los Angeles like Total Freedom and NGUZUNGUZU were doing this party called "Wildness" and they had that aesthetic.

Although SHLOHMO 's latest EP, Laid Out , was released early March this year - we're still seeing the effects it left on the world today. So that's why it's not that weird that we finally have a clip for one of the EP's tracks. The clip is for an EP highlight and all round croon-filled, 'Don't Say No'. Which features the vocal strings of Tom Krell , better known as How To Dress Well . His collaboration with the LA producer resulted in one of the most [...]

Los Angeles-based singer Banks released "Warm Water," a sexy, moody ballad with production from fast-rising UK producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs , several weeks back. The track now gets its own video. Shot by Dylan Knight, the stark, black and white music video matches the sound perfectly. Fuzzy depth of field, handsy interactions between Banks and her male counterpart and softly undulating water further cement "Warm Water" as a polished piece of bedroom pop. Watch it above.
