Given the unpronounceable nature of the moniker, the gratuitous insertion of excess grammar, the White Heat slot supporting indie's current bunch of omnipresent, overtly affable scamps , the hallmarks of what could be beautiful for NZCA/Lines (pronounced Nazca/NASCAR à la those dusty Peruvian geoglyphs or that nonsensical rally, we're officially informed at the door) are already imprinted into synth stallion Michael Lovett's very essence. Tonight at Madame Jojo's however it's early doors in every sense of the word: for the former Your Twenties bass slinger it's the first time he's [...]
We catch up with FOE's Hannah to find out more about her charity shop organ, 4-track player and working relationship with Adam Crisp of Entrepreneurs.
La organización de Coachella , uno de los principales festivales de música en la actualidad, dio a conocer el lineup para la edición de este año, que por primera vez tendrá lugar en dos fines de semana consecutivos, de 13 al 15 y del 20 al 22 de abril, con la curiosidad de que en la segunda se repetirán los artistas en los mismos días que la primera. "Psst... hagan correr la bola" ( pass it on ), fue el mensaje que acompañó a [...]
Como cada año, desde hace varias semanas se han venido filtrando en la red supuestas alineaciones oficiales para el Festival Coachella , que en este 2012 celebrará por primera vez su edición en dos fines de semana, del 13 al 15 y del 20 al 22 de abril. Sin embargo, bien dicen que no hay plazo que no se cumpla y es así que, finalmente, hace unas horas los organizadores revelaron el line-up definitivo a través de sus perfiles oficiales en Twitter y Facebook. ¿Qué podemos encontrar [...]

Music RoundUp - January 6, 2012 This is the first Music RoundUp of 2012 and unfortunately I am spending all of friday within a airport and on a plane so I will not get a chance to post lots of music today. The weeknd - The Fall Grimes - Skin Active Child - High Priestess (CFCF Remix) Lykke Li - [...]
I could've made this list twice as long but I capped it at 50. Most of these are actual singles. The rest should be. Beyond the top ten, ordering is fairly arbitrary. Metronomy - The Look ( MP3 | Video ) I first heard this song back in February and I have yet to tire of it. I wish the keyboard solo outro lasted forever. Exlovers - Blowing Kisses ( MP3 | Video ) Rocking shoegaze pop of the highest order. [...]
I waited till 2011 to finalize my albums list - all my lists - partially due to laziness, being busy, the holidays... but mainly because I'm not sure what the hurry is. I don't do this for the web traffic (clearly), so I gave myself a little more time to decide than usual. (And as long as this goes up before the Village Voice' s Pazz n' Jop, I don't feel delinquent.) So here's my list, the top five or so have been a lock for almost half a year, but the rest were in flux right till I [...]
Another year, another astonishing array of releases to get you through January to December. But where last year had some very clear cut winners across the board (from the likes of Arcade Fire, Kanye West and LCD Soundsystem), this year has not appeared so obvious. But, better late than never, Hotcakes brings you an eclectic list carefully decided by our five writers. Enjoy! 30. Givers - In Light 29. Balam Acab - Wander / Wonder 28. The Black Keys - El Camino 27. Gui Boratti - III [...]

Artwork by Dalila Couto A couple weeks ago we asked our followers what were their favorite tracks of 2011. We could have done our own top, but we have decided people should tell us, because all blogs are doing their own charts. If there is any track missing, we apologize for it, but i think everyone is included. Anyway, we have also contributed with our favorites. No doubts 2011 was an excellent year. Here we only have originals, during this week we are going to blog as well all the remixes. For sure [...]

<!-- --> Click here for download Sounds like: The Rapture, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Song: Metronomy - The Bay [download here ] What's so good? One of the artists gracing just about everyone's best-of-2011 lists is Metronomy. In particular, the song "The Bay" has been flagged as a standout. So when I [...]
The past 365 days were massive! It's already 2012 and that's our final chart for the previous year. Nite Versions already compiled the best songs and videos for 2011. Now it's time for the coolest part - the list of greatest albums for 2011. It's a very hard task to pick 16 albums you've liked the most - there are so many good releases and I wish I could put all of them on that list. Find out which are the finest 16 of 2011 in Nite Versions' opinion. [...]
Metronomy are an electronic music group consisting of Joseph Mount (singer, keyboards and guitar), Anna Prior (drums), Oscar Cash (saxophone, guitars and keyboards) and Gbenga Adelekan (bass guitar). The English group formed in 1999, although their debut studio album, Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe), was not released until 2006. In April, the group released their latest project, The English Riviera. Listen to our favorites from the album below.

Photography: Kevin Chung I didn't originally plan to do this because I haven't had anything specifically in mind for the list, but as per several requests, here it is: Album: M+A - Things.yes I haven't listened to too many albums that were released in 2011, but and M+A's debut clearly stood out from the rest. It's a mixture of electronica, indie and distorted vocals, leaving you with a vague feel of delight and happiness after 1 to 43 minutes of listening. [...]
SURKIN - USA LP Sin duda alguna, 2011 ha sido un muy buen año para Benoit Heiz, o lo que es lo mismo, el gran SURKIN. A parte de haber [....]
Posted in Play-This-List Soundbite Goodbye 2011, it was a year that flew by way too fast, and it was also the year that I truly felt overwhelmed by the amount of music available in all shapes and forms. This post highlights the albums & EPs that we've enjoyed the most over the past year, there's a lot of albums [...]
So sometimes you love a track but not a whole album or it's on an EP or single or maybe you love one track even more than any of the others on a downright amazing LP and want to give it a special mention. Thats what this little piece is about. We just wanted to highlight some of our favourite individual tracks of 2011. Here are the top 5. New Look - Nap On The Bow OMG words cannot describe this dreamy electronic ejaculate. Musical perfection, just about. A [...]
