Artist: The Sound

Aunque hace tiempo que no hablamos de ellos, porque desde que sacaron Something To Die For , su última propuesta, allá por marzo de 2011, han permanecido en silencio, The Sounds siempre es un grupo que merece la pena ver en directo. Provenientes de Suecia, el citado trabajo era tal vez de lo más flojo que podían ofrecernos pero aun así no sonaba mal, y ellos tratan de seguir vendiéndonoslo con sus conciertos. Una buena oportunidad para verlos está en la playa del Arenal, o más concretamente en la fiesta que supone el Arenal [...]

What's awesome about these sound snippets, beyond their individual sonic values, is how they conjure up all the visuals and emotions that came with the rest of their respective scenes. (Thanks, Wardinger ) In the mood for more? Watch the SFX-laden " Latte" . Or watch the Darren Aronofsky -directed spots we created for The Meth Project : • • • • [...]

RVA Magazine in Richmond did this nice write up about my gig there last week. The gig was put together by the guys behind Radio Rubber Room so that made the gig extra great! I hope I get to come back to Richmond, VA for some more gigs in the future! Despite being a solo act, Talvik's technical assistant/husband worked wonders for her already perfected sound, providing well-placed vocal harmonies, doublings, and effects. Sofia Talvik is absolutely freaking gorgeous, and her charming [...]

Happy May Day! I remember the May Day parades through the streets of Moscow. The news would show the marching troops stepping in unison and missile after missile being hauled through the city, all meant as signs of Russia's military might. I also remember May poles with brightly colored ribbons and flowers. I always preferred the flowers. It's raining. I've got music playing which helps dispel the darkness of the day. It's cold at 47°. My heat went on this morning so the house must have been really cold. Gracie went out for only a minute. [...]

Sam Ray sent over this compilation for the week of 4/25, he sent it ahead of time and this is how i repay him : / . No but Sam is the nicest fucking guy yo, sending me the bandcamp link before it even exists. I'm still playing catch up it's like finals week for everyone. At least it feels that way, like something is completely taking over your life -whether it is or it isn't doesn't really matter because it feels that way. This is a really wonderful compilation here with so much variety. It's the first [...]

Some uplifting pop music for your monday. Felix Cartal - Tonight (feat. Maja Ivarsson from The Sounds) by FELIX CARTAL

"~lork you ain't post no future beats for a while!" I hear you say. Or maybe they just the voices in my head. Anyway they're right, so lemme correct that. Bambooman's compiled a second installment to his Sound Healers series, and it serves as a nice collection (or introduction) of experimental electronic beats. Free download

Why : I was offered the premiere of this [...]

I recently had an argument with a friend that I would rather go blind than deaf because sound is the most important of the five senses. My reasoning is that being blind is no big deal, but could you imagine not being able to listen to music? Further, sound provides all of the context for movies. You can turn a horror movie into comedy, or vice versa, just by swapping out the soundtrack. He didn't agree, but I digress. For the sound lovers out there, the news that Dolby Laboratories have invented a next-generation sound delivery [...]

Magic Wands is the musical duo of Chris and Dexy Valentine, a couple of married folks that create dance, electro, and psychedelic pop music.

Sorry. I ran out of superlatives for Sound&Shape a long time ago. I ran out of ways to describe their incredibly complex yet infinitely melodic and listenable brand of progressive modern rock. I've ran out of new words to sum up the passion and energy and flows like a roaring river through their songs. I've searched for bands to compare them to, always kind of drifting back towards Mars Volta. But here's the thing. I don't like Mars Volta. But I dig Sound&Shape, through their first two [...]

Genre: Deep House. You and Me released by Dirty Culture on TheSounds, includes remixes by: Atapy, Dakin Auret, Refresh.

If I were to pick one song currently reigning supreme on my playlist, it would be none other than this one. "Bones" also happens to be one of the strongest tracks on Melanie Fiona 's brand new album, released in March, the long-awaited The MF Life . With a tailor-made production by hitmaker Jack Splash (with whom Melanie Fiona won two Grammy Awards for her duet with Cee-Lo Green , "Fool For You" ), the songbird delivers one of her [...]

Now Rainer Weichhold is re-releasing the track in a shorter re-mastered version and some really nice remixes by Aka Aka & Thalstroem, [...]
