Filed under: News , Exclusive , Q + A Pitch PerfectPR Angel Olsen is one of those rare enigmas in the internet age, in that we know almost nothing about her. So after gleaning a few interviews and trying to assemble some sort of background image, I asked Olsen if we could chat over the phone. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get that close, so e-mail became our only option. [...]
Det er bedre at skrive på dansk. Meget bedre! Indholdet er forventeligt nok ikke forbedret en tøddel, men det her fungerer bare bedre (nemlig så!)! Min mailbox er fortsat spændt til bristepunktet. Bliver interessant om sprogskiftet medfører en reduktion i antallet af indgående post. Håber det nok lidt! Gisp, ryste osv. Apropos mails. Den første mail med den første julesang er allerede landet. Hader generelt julen og alt hvad den står for (tjek lige den svada her ), men intet er som bekendt så skidt…og julesange (samt gløgg, æbleskiver, juleøl og -frokoster) [...]
I know I’ve written this so many times that it’s beyond tedious. But nonetheless I’m happily going to repeat myself and utter to the world “I receive far too many emails”! Reading, listening, deleting and every once in while replying and posting eats up far too much of what precious little time I can dedicate to this blog. Consequently it has happens more and more often that I take a quick look at the mailbox, shake my head and sigh “not tonight baby…” So the mails from those days probably never will get a closer look meaning that there’s an [...]
![[PLAYLIST] The Best REMIXES of 2011 – Part 1 (Jan-June)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3589417_lg.jpg)
Strap on your shufflin' shoes and make sure to stretch 'cause this list is an unmerciful messenger delivering jams of the highest quality. Some of these remixes have been banned by certain unenlightened govern ments for igniting dance parties and group high-fives so share with care. This edition is chock full of TBE Remix alums and a few newbies shaking things up. Everyone's favorite, Passion Pit, nab two spots while newbie Star Slinger clinches two more. In a massive non-surprise, RAC takes a heavy slice of this pie with a full 5 slots. Hey, it's not my fault the guy is a genius. Stay [...]
. Pheramones- We Already Know . . . . . .When in doubt open with pheramones. At least that's my philosophy when it comes to playlists i'm not sure what the track 1 should be. Energy, talent, pretentiously unpretentious... these guys have it all when it comes to being an ideal indie band. This song [...]
![[MIX] SPRING, MY BELLE! /// A TBE Mix For Exploding Into Springtime](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3380860_lg.jpg)
After months of gazing out the window and cursing the wintery grey sky we have finally been blessed with the warmth that thaws the bones in a most electric way. This is a mix for celebrating that moment that you open your front door and are slammed with the blinding sunshine that sparks your insides and makes you want to skip all the way to wherever you are going. I've kept in lean and mean at under an hour so add your own tracks as needed. Enjoy with reckless abandon. [Thanks to TBE reader Scdance for suggesting [...]
Psychic Powers has announced that the band’s stunning debut Infinity will see a physical release on CD via Dryden St. (yay!). No information available on when it's out and how to order it…yet! + Brighter + Glide The drooling continues. Check this excellent (and rather classic indie pop) track by [...]

Psychic Powers' album Infinity is out and available from Dryden St . Preview the album here.

Ale Cohen keeps popping up in our online life, first as Languis (their stunning 'Times Are Changing' can be heard below) and then with his collaborator Nik Brinkman on their project together Psychic Powers. This duo tend to skirt across a whole range of genres from shoegaze to dream pop and back to indie like on this new track 'Brighter'. Makes you wonder what they'll do next but given that 'Infinity' (their debut album) is now in the can we should be up to speed soon enough. 'Brighter' is probably their most clean cut release to date, stripped bare and [...]
A short of apology to all of those mailing me their promo stuff. At 10 a.m. I had exactly 3,971 mails in my inbox, so the chances of me ever reading your mails are…well…slim. And even smaller that you'll ever hear anything (good or bad) back from me! I’m sorry if I’m wasting your time, but that’s how things are and how they will (most likely) remain! One of my current favorite tracks; Flowers Bloom by High Highs ; is doing terribly well on the [...]

And not just any kind, but some downright fantastic news! The stunningly brilliant Psychic Powers has finally released their debut album Infinity and it's available via iTunes . Go buy it...NOW! I know I will! A handful of earlier recordings are still free to grab from RCRD LBL . + Glide + Brighter
Lots of mails to read and plenty of music to listen to. Sadly there’s some real life work that needs to be taken care of as well, but I won’t let that stop me and plan to update this post from time to time during the day. Right now I’m busy streaming the Psychic Powers Live Dublab “Sprout Session” ( mp3 ). Still awaiting (some kind/any kind of) news on when the band’s debut album will be released. In February last year they announced that the album was done [...]
![TBE Digest 18 – 1.18.2011 [Passion Pit, Kanye West, Big K.R.I.T., RAC, Das Racist, BRAHMS, Kid Cudi, and more!]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3129033_lg.jpg)
It's a new year and a lot of good stuff piled up over the holidays. Considering it's the 18th Digest, today is the 18th (close enough...), and I have 18 tracks, I think this is some kind of perfect Digest or something. Dig in. But really, dig. There are some real gems in the mix down there. For more by any of these artists use the ‘tags’ links at the bottom of the post! NEW RELEVENT JAMS ♫ Passion Pit - All These [...]
…listening a lot to I Am Kloot . The main purpose was to check out Sky At Night , but instead I’ve spent more time reacquainting myself with the superior Natural History . …enjoying the new Bright Eyes track Shell Games . It’s free , it’s good and has rather unexpectedly made me look forward to his [...]

RAC himself sent me a song earlier this week, a remix for a band called Psychic Powers . The song is as cheerful as a song can get and as weird as this may sound, I instantly started dancing after I clicked play. Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks Andre! Foi o próprio RAC que me mandou esta música no inicio da semana, um remix para uma banda chamada Psychic Powers . A música é do mais feliz que uma música pode ser e por mais estranho que isto pareça, comecei a dançar mal carreguei no [...]

Bonjour à tous ! Voila le 1er article de 2011, il sera assez bref, rentrée oblige, le boulot recommence, le reste aussi et YAH va reprendre un rythme logiquement normal ! On commence avec nos amis de RAC qui ont fait un nouveau remix du groupe Psychic Powers , le groupe américain de Pop / New Wave plutôt cool et qui est à suivre ! Aujourd'hui, le remix est pop à souhait, on retrouve les bases des remixs du collectif avec un [...]

RAC finishes off 2010 with a brad new remix of "Dreamboat" by Psychic Powers . enjoY! Dreamboat (RAC Mix) by Remix Artist Collective
New Fav Track Whenever a new remix is about to seep from my speakers, I find myself preparing to hear a butchered version of a song I already love. But I should know better by now. Remix Artist Collective (RAC) consistently provides unique perspective and interesting direction, not to mention high quality. Check out their [...]

Not a whole lot is has been happening lately, yet at the same time there is still plenty to talk about. I admit that I'm a little late to the party on a couple of these releases, but I couldn't resist sharing them anyway. Small Black : Photojournalist/Sun Was High (So Was I) - As I mentioned a couple of entries ago, one of this year's unexpectedly great records was Small Black's New Chain . If [...]
