>> We find it hard to believe we haven't written about Brooklyn-based electropop duo Cookies for almost a year , especially because of its wonderful second single which was released late this past spring, but there you go. The duo of former Mobius Band guitarist Ben Sterling and singer Melissa Metrick has just dropped its genius third single, the apparently digital-only pairing of "Wilderness Tips" b/w "The Dream." The thumping A-side is deftly composed, an arresting mid-tempo hand-clapper that croons and thumps. The flip, "The Dream," is perhaps even more remarkable, as spare and soulful [...]
Photo By Chris Castellani / Music Snobbery www.musicsnobbery.com Between solo projects and child-rearing, things have been a bit quiet from The Swimmers since the support-cycle for 20092s excellent nervy new wave offering People are Soft wound down. But the noble foursome that Philebrity once dubbed " the east coast existential pop band " has ganged up again to play this year's Philly F/M Fest; they're at Kungfu Necktie on Sat. Sept. 24, and promise old favorites and "new surprises." Today's Philly Local Phile takes a guess at what [...]

Singer/Songwriter Mute Swimmer hadert gern mit was er tut - und beides kann er gut. Schwelende Melancholie, die zu viel denkt und dabei desöftern die Geduld verliert. Der britische Songwriter und Performance-Künstler Guy Dale spielt seine Songs mit theatralischer Note und hebt so den Prozess seiner Kunst auf eine musikalische Metaebene. In sich ruhende, melancholische Spokenwords lassen dem Temperament ab und an die Zügel schleifen und sich zu kurzen Jähzorn-Attacken hinreissen. Intime Nachdenklichkeit verschafft sich mit roher, emotionaler Intensität Gehör. Der Kabelsalat um das Mic auf dem Cover zur aktuellen [...]
Besser hätten sie's kaum timen können: Pünktlich zum kurzfristigen Hitzeschub gibt es über ein Jahr nach ihrer letzten Strandgroßtat Big Coast neues Material von Beautiful Swimmers - und das gleich im Doppelpack. Während die neue Single Open Shadow im breiten Variations- und Referenzfeld des Washingtoner Duos schon ein paar Stunden in der Gemütlichkeitsecke gesonnt hat und herrlich träge herumsoult, geht Excited Track im verschwitzten Italo-Keller ans Eingemachte. Der demnächst wohl bei jedermenschs Lieblingsmünchnern Permanent Vacation erscheinende Track ist aber nicht minder klasse und ebenso wie die meisten bisherigen Singles und [...]
One of my favorite tracks of 2010 was definitely this one: Beautiful Swimmers - Big Coast So I'm pretty much hyped to see Beautiful Swimmers dropped fresh stuff today. Their new tune is called "Excited Track" and it's coming later this summer via Permanent Vacation. Beautiful Swimmers - Excited Track There is another song out called "Open Shadow" featuring John Davis - less italo disco, more funky. It's available right now from all fine record shops and vinyl facilitators via Future Times Records. Click to hear it on SoundCloud [...]
Photo by John Vettese In less than a week, it will officially be summer. Longer days and warmer nights—except for those that are unseasonably cold (thanks, jet stream, you temperamental weather pattern). A time for relaxation and reflection. A time to once again look back over the archive of studio sessions I've recorded with the uber-talented musicians and songwriters of the Philadelphia region, as we look ahead to the next milestones in our journey: the XPoNential Music Festival and the first birthday of The Key. Revisitation is a fun task; we've done a lot [...]
Das erste Video von Modern Tapes lag bei mir jetzt schon einige Tage in der Schublade und ist heute förmlich von selbst rausgesprungen. Ich hatte den Song nur kurz nebenbei laufen lassen und 'Caroline' hat mir einen Ohrwurm bescherrt. Beste Voraussetzungen für unseren Track zum Musicmonday und man sieht auch, dass es nicht viel für [...] Related posts:Black Lips neuen Song 'Modern Art' hier hören Grey Television 'Fragments' #musicmonday [[ This is a content summary only.

Here are a couple of great refits on one of last year's more memorable singles, from one of last year's best new bands . "Cheaters" is the signature song on Teengirl Fantasy's debut LP 7AM , a paean to Chicago house built on a dramatically recontextualized vocal sample. That sample is spun out a step further: via Barcelona DJ John Talabot, who holds tight to the Love Committee's pitched down "Cheaters Never Win" vocals and puts them into something fitting for an Ibiza house night; and via Beautiful Swimmers who pair bits of Teengirl's synths with ominous ones [...]
Caroline : Swimmer - MP3 Alors certes, on arrive un peu tard avec ce titre de la Japonaise Caroline , extrait de son album Verdugo Hills , sorti le 25 janvier dernier, mais mieux vaut tard que jamais… Yes, we are late posting this MP3 of Caroline 's Swimmer taken from Verdugo Hills , the latest LP of the Japonese artist but it's never too late. And the song is too great! [...]
Air Swimmers ($40) are helium filled mylar balloons in the shape of fish that you can control via a remote control. The controller takes 3 AAA batteries and the flying fish utilizes one. According to the inventor, they can stay afloat for up to 2 weeks on a single refill. Two models were recently announced; a flying shark and a clown fish. Because Air Swimmers are very light weight, they are only recommended for indoor use. The fun flying fish will be available in July 2011.

Powerfully and unique in their own way, newbie to the music scene - Caroline - harks and sings her way through a tip toe, pearl-esque celebration of crystal enhanced music and comforting sublime rhythms. ((I can almost hear the trance and progressive remixes coming!)) Comparisons to Above & Beyond's project - Oceanlab - with their vocalist and production style aside, this is totally alternative and chilled out to thee extreme. If you haven't heard of (the without surnamed and just first name) Caroline before, then you definitely have now!! Simples! [...]
