The Valentine's Day Mixtape is a tradition as old as ATG itself. The first edition was only the 10th post ever here at ATG HQ, and it has taken many shapes in the six years since. The only constant has been a seemingly endless supply of bubbly indie-pop and sugary sweet folk, mixed with a heavy dose of pure sexual energy. This year's V-Day Mix has all the bases covered: let Bon Iver and Alexander do the crooning, Thao Nguyen & Coeur de Pirate can handle the innocent pop, and The Weeknd, Drake and Frank Ocean can handle the sex.

I know I am a little late on this, but here are the albums that I am looking forward to hearing the most. Please understand this is not my guess at what will be the best albums of 2012, or my attempt at finding the pulse of what the general public is most excited about. These the 12 albums that I am personally the most excited about. Also know that I have excluded several albums that have already been released that surely would have made this list, had I done a month ago, including the new ones by [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-06T23:42:46+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4041802/passion-pit-newvillager-anr-monday-threesome/
Welcome to another Monday Threesome! Each of the bands this week falls within the realm of electro/snyth pop, focusing on keyboards, falsettos and rhythms. They play a dance hybrid of indie rock and electronic music, but within that somewhat narrow subgenre, each is able to bring something unique to their sound and leave their mark. One is a veteran, and the others are some new bands we are very excited about.

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

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. Ive given it a listen, its 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 , [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-27T14:09:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4018424/evan-voytas-you-dont-even-know-where-its-at/
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 isirresistible to bob your knee too. Check it out and let me know what you all think!

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.

KCRW -sponsored shows featuring Animal Collective and Hot Chip / Passion Pit were among the dates announced today as part of the Hollywood Bowl summer slate, which will feature superstar conductor Gustavo Dudamel's six-night "Americas and Americans" festival in August, appearances by Ben Harper (July 1), Smokey Robinson (July 20-21) and Norah Jones (Aug. 10), and Anita Baker and Esperanza Spalding (Aug. 22) and the venues usual fare of stellar classical, jazz and theatrical productions.

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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-16T16:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3991820/this-is-how-you-sample-brenton-duvall/
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 voil! , 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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-11T18:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3981256/why-2012-is-going-to-be-a-great-year-for/
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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-05T00:53:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3966485/holiblog-5-animal-passion/
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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-04T23:30:18+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3966316/whats-that-song-from-the-big-miracle-trailer/
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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-03T15:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3965152/midi-matilda-red-light-district/
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 [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-29T20:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3956151/atg-neon-gold-records-present-all-things-gold-006/
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, [...]]]>
