Chairlift is one of those bands that you've probably heard a bunch of times before but you could never name if you were asked to. They've been around the block since 2005 and done almost everything. They've made music for haunted houses, were featured on an iPod Nano commercial in 2008, and got a VMA nominee in 2009 for the outstanding video to their single "Evident Utensil" (watch it below). Lead singer Caroline Polachek has been featured on tracks by Washed Out , Holy Ghost! , and Das Racist , and Chairlift's other half, Patrick Wimberly, [...]
Track ten on Nite Jewel 's forthcoming second new album 'One Second Of Love' freaked me out! It's titled 'Clive', but that's my name! For a good few seconds I genuinely thought they we're somehow doing personalized promos now, I had to check and double check other sites tracklistings. But there is it, track ten on 'One Second Of Love' is named after me. It must be, right? Why would you call it that otherwise? Ramona Gonzalez's second record is a thing of beauty. From her Nu-Funk influenced basslines to the washes of Chillwavey reverb [...]

Outro momento alto da semana foi patrocinado pelos Bear In Heaven

Debbie Deb's weird, warped 2012 incarnation Nite Jewel is touring North America with Chairlift , followed by a headlining date at New York City's Bowery Ballroom. She is also playing SXSW. Nite Jewel will be touring in support of her upcoming album One Second Of Lov e will be available March 6th on Secretly Canadian .

Nite Jewel is pleased to announce North American tour dates with Chairlift , followed by a headlining date at New York City's Bowery Ballroom. Her Secretly Canadian debut One Second Of Love will be available March 6th. Nite Jewel will also be playing this year's SXSW. Nite Jewel, aka California native Ramona Gonzalez, first began her transcendent minimalist dance-pop escapades in the privacy of her own home in Los Angeles. With the aid of her multitrack cassette recorder and whatever...
There's not much information available on this little gem of a group (on a Google search an abandoned LiveJournal ranks higher than many links about them). From the best I can tell Celebrine is electropop duo from Moscow. The lack of bio information plays well with Celebrine's tone of music-mysterious, dark, and boding. This is [...]
Merry Christmas from Slap the Bass! Nite Jewel released this somber version of Mariah Carey's 1994 holiday smash a couple days ago and we wanted to forward it on to you. The singer definitely takes the jovial original in a different direction as if maybe Ramona Gonzalez isn't getting her Nick Cannon this year, something [...]
Here's an unexpected cover of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" from L.A.'s own sleeping beauty, Nite Jewel . The sedated, almost lethargic take on this Mariah Carey jingle makes me think of a lone Patrick Bateman staring out of his penthouse apartment, sipping a glass of whiskey at 4AM, tired and weary from a long night out with cocaine, hookers, and hacking fellow executives to pieces. But it's the calming haze of music where Bateman finds solace — justifying his activities. This version also paints a very vivid picture of mid-1980s romantic pop [...]

Whomadewho - Inside World By Stef Siepel The weekly froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer's fancy. After this will be a slight Holiday break, but don't worry, come January we'll be back with this one in a hurry. Happy holidays everybody and have a little fun, do a little dance, and get down [...]
It's generally excepted, that when away from for an extended period from the population from which one would generally select their lovers, that all bets are off. Prison would certainly be an example…or perhaps the navy. San Francisco during the California Gold Rush of the mid 19th century would also be able to stake it's [...]

Ramona Gonzalez started making cold electronic music as Nite Jewel when she was studying philosophy at California's Occidental College in 2008. Despite releasing an impressive series of EPs since then, she's just getting around to her debut full-length One Second of Love , which will drop March 6. Check out the title track in the meantime – it's got an absolutely killer beat, all undulating, percolating bass and methodical, clean percussion, presided over by Gonzalez's simple, sexy voice and chilly synth wails. Listen up. Continue reading: New Album: Nite Jewel - One Second of [...]

This could finally be Ramona Gonzalez's year. Not that she's been having a rough go of it... Producing tons of music under her Nite Jewel moniker, she's turned heads not so much by one stellar record or song, but by the potential everyone saw in her work to date. With her new composition "One Second of Love" the title track of her album dropping March 6 on Secretly Canadian, it seems Gonzalez has finally focused her sound, and with a true LP to work inside of an actual album cycle this could be Nite Jewel's opportunity to hit [...]

Nite Jewel is a secretly Canadian songstress that is making a lot of noise in the lo-fi "hipster" lane. She combines potent lyrics with upbeat tempos and her somber voice to make nostalgic and catchy tracks. Nite Jewel is the perfect artist for any lounge or small club. One Second Of Love by Nite Jewel
