Miss MGMT? Pining for Passion Pit? Here's your fix: The Ghosts ' debut single ticks all the vital synth-pop boxes, from falsetto vocals to an impossibly perky disposition. Just ignore that growing sense of déja vu and bounce along in giddy glee. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

Tweet January has come and gone. In some parts of the world Lana Del Rey 's "Born To Die" has already been released to mixed reviews, nowhere near making as big a splash as was anticipated by some. I've given it a listen, it's fine, but, as I expected, nothing remarkable. In not-LDR-related news, there have been plenty of good releases so far in this past month, with Cloud Nothings , [...]
If y'all want some funky music to groove to, you need to check out Evan Voytas' latest EP, Can't Let Anybody Know Who You Are. Stitched with the high pitched sounds of Passion Pit , with a little more traditional rock guitar riffs, this guy is one giant compromise between indie and rock. This song, "You Don't Even Know Where It's At," is a climaxing song that is irresistible to bob your knee too. Check it out and let me know what you all think! You Don't Even Know Where It's At [...]
In a recent interview with the 19-year old Irish electronica wonder, MMOTHS told me that once he heard the vocals of Sarah P ., one half of the downtempo electronica duo, Keep Shelly in Athens , he knew he wanted to collaborate with the group. Enter "Heart", as remixed by MMOTHS. With trembling reverb and palatial synths, MMOTHS has built a pleasant fortress around the original, penetrating the track with greater emotion and warmth. HEART (FEAT. KEEP SHELLY IN ATHENS) by MMOTHS [...]

Todd V Wolfson I feel that I should say up front that any reservations I have about Kathleen Edwards and her work are entirely my own issues. Since her 2002 debut Failer , I've enjoyed her honest, roots-rock fare but always felt like I expected more from her creatively even though across her first three albums, she'd never shown any signs that she had ambitions beyond being a good singer-songwriter. That said, the fact that she spent her downtime following 20082s Asking For Flowers [...]
I think everyone went through a phase of loving mash-ups - admittedly, I still love a good mash-up . Brenton has put in work to create some mash-up classics - he flips 'em, adds some synth and some Duvall magic and voilà! , your earbuds couldn't be happier. Here are all the Brenton tracks that I have, let me know if you have any others 'cause I can't seem to get enough of this dood. -LaJAck Against a Mad World Feat. 2Pac & Gary Jules Ambien [...]
2012 is poised to be one of the greatest years in music in awhile. Why? Well, I'll give you a hint: it isn't because Justin Bieber is set to have an album coming out. In fact, I don't even know whether that's true or not. It's exciting because Phoenix, Spoon, Delta Spirit, Mumford & Sons, P.O.S., Passion Pit, Animal Collective, The Shins, Brother Ali, Dr. Dre, Miike Snow, Lana Del Rey, Andrew Bird, Sleigh Bells , and the xx are poised to release albums. That's not even including all of the new or smaller bands that will [...]
Right, so when I thought the Tuesday was going to be dead, surely the Friday before New Years Eve is going to be a quiet one, yeah? I mean, EVERYONE is going to be doing something the next night, people would want to conserve their energy I thought. Instead it was quite the opposite, an absolute TON of people came out in force, and it was one of the biggest guest lists of the year. Perhaps folk were using it as some sort of training for the following night. Whatever the, it was flipping great, and Gigantic was jumping for [...]
Filed under: What's That Song? In ' Big Miracle ,' a movie based on a true story, Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski play a couple of do-gooder Alaskan ex-lovers who must mobilize politicians and businessmen to save a family of majestic maritime mammals trapped in Arctic ice. This one promises drama, cutesy laughs and plenty tugs on the ol' heartstrings, and as such, Passion Pit 's 'Moth's Wings' was a great pick to soundtrack the trailer. The song, taken [...]
I feel like the whole world has already heard about indie-pop duo, Midi Matilda . I look around the interweb and see sources as big as the Huffington Post featuring them. How did MTIB miss them? I'm not sure. It's easy to miss a lot in the music world nowadays, but I'm not here to make excuses, because it doesn't really matter when you hear this band. It matters that you hear them. Midi Matilda writes infectious pop music that is comparable to Postal Service , but only in the way that almost any band that [...]
We've come a long way, haven't we? It was only this past summer that we teamed up with our buddies over at Neon Gold Records for the party behemoth that is now All Things Gold. The good times we've had with you all at U Street Music Hall are some of our most treasured memories of 2011. So what better way to kick off 2012 than with a nostalgic reunion show of sorts? Headlining the night we're bringing back the Knocks , who's live set tore up U Hall their last time around. These guys had a huge 2011, [...]
I have to be totally honest with errbody. It's not often that I find remixes that I like. I almost literally rip my hair out when I hear one - in fact, my roommate has often scolded me for yelling at my speakers - "THOSE LYRICS DON'T GO THERE. THEY DON'T EVEN FIT." But I couldn't resist enjoying this one. It's probably just because Passion Pit's the shit, but still. Having said that, I fell for New Zealand based artist Abtrack's remixes right away. First of all, they're damn chill, with a simple, basic synth. I [...]
Harlem Shakes - Niagara Falls Als ich im Februar und März diesen Jahres in Nordamerika unterwegs war, standen die großen Städte im Mittelpunkt. Ein Naturschauspiel durfte natürlich nicht fehlen, bewegte sich die Reise doch fast ausschließlich in der Nähe der großen Seen: Die Niagara-Fälle. Mit nicht einmal sechzig Metern sind die drei Wasserfälle an der Grenze zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada zwar nicht besonders hoch, doch mit bis zu 6000 m³ Wasserdurchfluss pro Sekunde die wasserreichsten Fälle Nordamerikas. Schon [...]
What is that? Is it a play on the name of that mountain range in Switzerland? Is it literally something to do with the anatomy of Swiss people? Is it a new euphemism from those pesky teenagers that we're no longer privy to? Are they linking that most sensuous, kissable part of every human being and linking with it that most neutral of European countries? It makes no sense to us. Are we missing the joke here? It's hard not to consider their choice of band name, particularly when it sounds so, well, downright silly. We would love to state [...]
