Hey, This week I bring you something Fresh from 19 year old Essex boy Crypt. This new track 'Crystalize' is can only really be described as 'deep house'. Brimming with bass, and touches of string driven melodies, this track really is one I'd imagine you'll hear out in coming weekends. Check it out: Peace out, Pete

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Swatch Love Collection. Wear your heart on your sleeve with two adorable Original Gent watches. Catch My Heart is ruby red and features a small white figure, emerging from a scarlet rose sketched on the dial. To give love an extra chance, the red silicon strap also bears the words "Only you!" Positioned just beneath the dial, near the beating heart of the watch, the message hugs the wrist. It is also time for romance with Lovely Mine, the second Original Gent, with its delicate [...]
The Explorers Club unveil the lead single off their upcoming full-length Grand Hotel, which already sounds like one of 2012's best. Stream it inside

by Nicole Audrey Spector How a guy who once pulled over the car upon espying a black glitter rosary on my neck (I was 12 and the rosary was from Claire's Accessories) was ever impelled to give the world a self-declared "Christmas Gift" is ironic. Yet my dad, in making A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector was hardly a grinch won over. I don't exaggerate when I say that he'd rather have a tick burrowed in his ear than a sentimental Christian on his back. Or a sentimental Jew for that [...]

REPOST from 2008 (with slight updating): - I remember when the Apollo 8 astronauts went into space, right before Christmas in 1968. That was a rough year - Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy were shot, Vietnam was a bloody stain on the other side of the world. Violence boiled over into the streets. As Christmas week opened, three men in a little metal capsule hurtled through space toward the moon. The astronauts of Apollo 8 were the first humans to reach the orbit of another planetary body. As they streaked across the dark side of the [...]

OK, now is about the time you start wishing the whole thing was over with already. You know, they should have Christmas in January - that's when they have all the good sales! Ho, ho. Here's a Christmas blowout: MP3: "Four Shopping Days Left Until Christmas" Ad jingle MP3: "Stop Giving Me Crap For Christmas" by Bobby Gaylor MP3: "Santa's Too Fat For The Hula Hoop" by Thurl Ravenscroft with the Pixies [...]

Los chicos de Crystal Antlers lanzaron a mediados de este año su tercera producción discográfica Two-Way Mirror , un álbum en el que la banda ha continuado con su sonido retro de guitarras distorsionadas e influencias psicodélicas con resultados ambiguos aunque bien intencionados. El grupo está promocionando nuevo álbum con un nuevo sencillo titulado "Dog Days" , tema con el que de hecho cierran esta producción y que se va más bien por el camino de la cuasibalada y el rock vintage , además de un solo épico [...]

Género: Pop, psychedelic. Tras Here Comes 2001, So Lets Head For The Sun EP, salido en mayo de este año, prosiguen con Imperial Goddess of Mercy el nuevo EP de Fixers previsto para diciembre.

Click image to download full album Sounds like: Delorean, Cut Copy "Crystal Fighters - Champion Sound" What's so good? If you don't know Crystal Fighters, you damn well should. Originating from London by way of Spain (specifically the Basque region), they are known for exemplary live shows and progressive, artistic sets. Last year, they released a relatively successful debut album, Star Of Love , featuring tracks like "I Love London" and "In The Summer." [...]

Younghusband - Crystal EP By Antonio Tzikas Combining solid pop sensibility with '60s psychedelic, soul and fuzzy indie influences, younghusband release Crystal , their debut EP, through Sonic Cathedral this November. With only four songs on display, it's a short, but sweet introduction to the London four-piece and a brilliant opening statement from the band, who have garnered a few celeb fans in the form of Jarvis Cocker, Guy Garvey and Marc Riley since their 2010 formation. Now, I've not really been impressed with the [...]
Around a month ago, I was told The Explorers Club would be releasing their first new material in over four years. Freedom Wind, their 2008 debut, has been a personal favorite of mine since its release, and I assumed the band had split after years of inactivity. So when frontman Jason Brewer e-mailed me last

Artist : younghusband Title : Crystal EP Label : Sonic Cathedral Release Date : November 21st Words by Mel Reeve Woozy yet rhythmic, echoing surf-pop but with a darker edge – there is definitely a lo-fi feel to this EP, perhaps not surprising once you're aware that younghusband began as a bedroom recording project by Euan Hinshelwood, who's also a member of Emmy The Great. It's [...]

Иногда мне кажется, что есть какая-то музыка лучше, чем мелодичный фолк, который поют девушки под гитару, но потом всё встаёт на свои места. Во Франции норвежская красавица Silje Nes исполнила две песни – «Crystals» и «Hello Luminance». Я так и не смог выбрать, какую из них включать в пост, поэтому кинул монетку.
Many of us have a sweet spot for The Beach Boys, or most Brian Wilson recordings for that matter. While their early – and generally most popular – hits are not to be overlooked, the greatness of the group fully emerged with the 1965 release of Today!. This classic marks the beautiful crevice between early [...]
Tuesday reminded me of London. It's not hard, climate-wise, for Seattle and London to recall each other. Sitting at about the same latitude, plagued by fussy, amorphously damp air – hovering always somewhere between wet cold and rain the consistency of snow – and terminally, brightly gray, the two cities are sisters-in-ambience. But some days [Read Full Post...]
