Our San Diego picks for the week*
No, no, you read that correctly. Our Jared is giving one super-lucky 30STD fan the chance to sleep in his bed, in his house via the 30 Seconds To Mars website . WOW. It's obviously a great and very personal prize to win if you're a fan of 30 Seconds To Mars but we cannot include ourselves in that hallowed category. To us, it's creepy. All one has to do is pre-order their new album, LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS . They'll even fly you over to wherever it is that he [...]
This is definitely the most calming and relaxing song I have heard in a while. LASERS has created something outstanding here, capturing emotions and moments that you did not even know existed until now, and spinning them into 2 and a half minutes of heaven. As I go to bed, looking out my window at [...]
FACT: It's a great time to be a fan of hip hop. The emergence of artists such as Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, and A$AP [...]

Another week, another great B-Town act to introduce to you guys in CAVES . Their recent single “Sleep” perfectly combine a shoegaze aesthetic with a 90’s alt-rock leaning attitude. A hazy engagement that gives us angst-ridden kids something to dream about. Don’t excuse these guys as lazy blokes though, as there is some serious talent on display here. Unlike most other Birmingham acts, we actually have decidedly manly vocals for once. This band share the same sentiments as myself when it comes to to beaches. Fuck them.
XXYYXX is an interesting musician. Aged just 16, he became famous for his song 'About You', a slow, laid back beat with an addictive vocal sample. Since then, he has been releasing more and more incredible music, always very alternative and genre defying. Now, he has released a small mix, 'so u can sleep'. Defiantly [...]
George Costanza's brilliant invention finally comes to fruition in this creation from Greek design firm Studio NL , sleep in the comfort of your desk!
Long Days? We've all had 'em. If you're working away this Good Friday you'll doubtless be only too aware of that fact though here to haul you through are Belgian duo I will, i swear . Comprising cotton candy-soft voiced Fien Deman and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Van Landegem, the pair find themselves at the forefront of a new tide of Belgian talent prompted by the international prominence afforded Jarri Van der Haegen's Disco Naïveté , I don't doubt. They've a couple tracks up on Unday Records' SoundCloud the second of which, Sleep, recalls the muted grandeur of Sigur [...]
I last week spoke with Parquet Courts, who went on to collectively lament the reality that there are absolutely too many records out there that never pick up the appreciation they so incontrovertibly deserve. Their Light Up Gold may well have dwindled to become one such record, were it not ignited and allowed to explode late on last year ahead of its international release next month, and we can but hope that the eponymous début release from NYC trio Survival is afforded a similarly propitious fate. It's the sort of intensely invigorating conflation of elementary math-rock [...]

Just a few minutes ago I was sent the new single by Inspired And The Sleep from San Diego. We already talked about them several times last year. The new song "Sink" is a joyous indie pop tune and "represents a new writing style, progressed live show, refined production, and overall feel to the project" , as the guy behind the project, Max Greenhalgh, says. The single is out via Bad Panda Records . mp3 | Sink

Dentro de su tanque, la discográfica Hippos in Tanks tiene a Sleep ∞ Over . Aggiornado al 2013, I Want To Be Alone conserva la esencia femenina y algo etérea del track original. Stefanie Franciotti , responsable por Sleep ∞ Over, crea una atmósfera más bien sensual, onírica (con esas cuerdas desdibujadas al comienzo, rodeadas por ecos y delays). Su voz, contenida en una especie de caverna luminosa, por momentos pareciera encontrarse con algunos temas (baladas, [...]
The fancy vinyl reissue of Sleep's proto-stoner classic Dopesmoker has been on high rotation at Flavorpill central now that we've descended into the depths of winter, and the necessity to get up and flip the LP halfway through has got us thinking about other great records that contain precisely one track. It's a pleasantly music geeky topic to address for a quiet Tuesday afternoon, and we've amused ourselves by scouring our iTunes library for some of our favorite albums by artists with one-track minds. As it were. Check out our selections after the jump, and let us know [...]

Opium Morals art Just when you thought it was safe, California's Seven Sisters of Sleep have returned with Opium Morals , the band's new LP due via A389 Records on March 20.

In addition, SSoS will share a Record Store Day split 7" with DC doom steamroller Ilsa . Details are sketchy [...]

Interview by Tom Johnson There's a big difference between being a recording artist and being a 'voice'. 23 year-old Winston Yellen is a voice. I don't just mean he has a great voice, I mean there is something markedly unique about the music he's putting out. His debut LP is released on UK shores this February - via the ever-brilliant Dead Oceans label and as far as first-time efforts are concerned, it's pretty astonishing. First single Even If We Try has us mesmerised from the very first listen; almost gospel [...]
