If you combine alt-rockers Walk the Moon with indie-rockers School of Seven Bells , you end up with an entirely different sounding but nevertheless remarkable remix of an already highly anticipated track. While the original ‘Tightrope’ opens with jaunty guitars and a youthful danceability, the remake swells with synthesised tension, unexpectedly incorporating distorted vocals at a far slower tempo as synths buzz around their echoes. Give this exciting premiere a listen below: Walk the Moon have also announced their official U.K. release date of their upcoming EP. The six [...]

I'll admit that I'm a pretty jaded music blogger, and sometimes I tend to dislike things, just because. I wanted to write Railbird off as just another twee Brooklyn band, but I had to stop myself, because their music is undeniable. I found myself listening to their EP, Lucky , consistently throughout the month of December, and am shamefully just now mentioning them on here. Better late than never though, right? They are decidedly pop with an experimental twist, and have drawn comparisons to Dirty Projectors , which I can definitely see, [...]

DOWNLOAD : Railbird - "MIRRORs" (Posted on Consequence of Sound) Brooklyn-based experimental psych-rock band Railbird is excited to premiere a new School of Seven Bells remix of their recent single "MIRRORs" on Consequence of Sound. To Railbird, the remix is " A journey in three movements. Benjamin [of SVIIB] established his own dreamy world within the song, then dropped it while simultaneously playing with mood and meaning throughout. " Consequence agrees, stating the Benjamin's methodically slowed down version of the original jittery cut creates a " dreamy pool of contemplative reverberation and airy synth. " [...]
It's Friday, which means that this week is nearly over and it's nearly time for the holidays — woo hoo, etc. — and also that it's time to survey the various new tracks that caught our fancy this week. (If you missed our post last week, we're temporarily replacing our regular MP3 post with a more general roundup of new music, as downloads are few and far between at this time of year.) Anyway, this week we get into the festive spirit with, um, a new track from Grouper. There's also The xx covering Wham! (you'll NEVER GUESS which song), [...]
