PMR Records is having quite the moment. With the massive success gathered recently by Jessie Ware and, more recently, Disclosure , it seems that all they touch turns to gold. Of course, it could be that what they're working with to start with is gold, but regardless, they're doing something right. Their latest signing is the somewhat mysterious Dornik , who emerged last week to much fanfare. He is apparently Dornik Leigh, former drummer in Jessie Ware's touring band, though he occasionally got a bit of the spotlight . [...]

The Weeknd performed in his hometown of Toronto last night (June 13) and debuted a new song from his forthcoming album Kiss Land . This track (which Rap-Up says may be titled "You Belong To The World" ) has probably his most aggressive beat yet, with jolts of industrial noise and blasts of static. It's tough to tell, but it sounds like there are some operatic strings involved, too. So it would appear Yeezus isn't the only new album that harnesses the more abrasive side of electro. What's more, [...]

We wish her all the best.” The note was signed by Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering. No reason was given for [...]
The Weeknd played a hometown show in Toronto last night, and Abel Tesfaye and company took the opportunity to premiere some new material from their upcoming Kiss Land . Here’s an okay-quality fan shot video of a new one that’s purportedly called “You Belong to the World” and will definitely be a banger. It’s intense, compelling, and endlessly layered – and do we hear a Portishead sample? We’re psyched to hear a recorded version of this one – check out the video while you wait for Kiss Land , which still has no [...]

Mientras Abel Tesfaye, mejor conocido como The Weeknd , se prepara para lanzar Kiss land - el primer álbum "oficial" tras esa magnífica trilogía de mixtapes con las que debutó el año 2011 -, en sus presentaciones en vivo sigue dando que hablar. Esta vez, de la mano de Portishead. En una presentación en vivo en Toronto, Tesfaye estrenó ayer "You belong to the world", un tema que ocupa como base rítmica un sampleo de "Machine gun" de los ingleses. Sobre ella, The Weeknd evoca los momentos más oscuros del excelente House of [...]
Last night, the Weekend played a show at the Mod Club in his Toronto hometown, which marked the first time Abel Tesfaye sang " Kiss Land ," the title track from his forthcoming album , on a stage. And during the show, Tesfaye also debuted a new song, which may or may not be called "You Belong To The World." It's a stark, intense song, and it seems to sample the apocalyptic drum pattern from Portishead's "Machine Gun." Watch a fan-made video of the song below. Read More...

Not Sure How to Feel About T his It seems like this should work: raves = fun + runs = good for you. And of course by all means further dehydrate the kids who had sunken eyes before even making it to the start line. Still there’s a part of me that thinks this could just be entirely to ridiculous. Regardless, I’ll probably sign up anyways. Sept 28 in nyc you fiends. The S.O.S. Band - Take Your Time (Solidisco Remix) [...]

We need to talk about The Weeknd . Despite the fact that I've been using the 23-year-old Canadian R&B producer/singer-songwriter's signature sound to describe the output of several pop stars over the past year, I've somehow failed to acknowledge his own sublime catalog on MuuMuse. So, let's fix that. First, a quick catch up: The Weeknd quickly grabbed the attention of the blogosphere (and beyond) with the release of 3 mixtapes over the course of 2011: House of Balloons , Thursday and Echoes [...]

Michael Wilson With all respect to the albums that came before and those that came after - Southern Rock Opera included - history will probably hold the Drive-By Truckers albums recorded between 2003 and 2006 with Jason Isbell in the lineup - Decoration Day , The Dirty South , and A Blessing And A Curse - as the band's finest, at least on a song for song basis. Isbell's more personal, human-scale songs were the perfect foil to Messers Hood and Cooley's Southern mythology epics, and his melodic [...]

There are many good things about May ending. Firstly, the weather here in London has been ludicrously terrible. More importantly though, stumbling into June means that we can finally make our Summer Playlist. Summer is perhaps the season linked to music more strongly than any of the others. Whether it's festivals, outdoor stadium gigs, or simply listening to some tunes in the park, there is undoubtedly a very strong connection. There is also some amazing music kicking around at the moment, which is why we've scooped it up and stored it in one place for you. [...]
