Palatial Crest is an interesting label. I've posted Geijus before, which I found to make some very original music, with that very own touch. The info I managed to gather about the mysterious label was that they are located in a basement and (most likely) in Portland, Oregon. Anyway, I like the style and the atmosphere they portray. And besides Geijus, they have another act on their roster, called Very International Love . And that name sort of gives away a lot of what the music is about, it's.. erm.. International.. Nah, [...]

Palatial Crest , a new, independent media label from Portland, Oregon is announcing their label with a showcase and a musical sample of each of their artists: Gejius ; Very International Love ; and GLASSMOUSTACHE&GAMESHOW . Download the sampler now! GLASSMOUSTACHE&GAMESHOW's "!ASSYMETRICAL!WARRIOR!" has us dancing around the office, reminiscent of Treasure Fingers ' "Cross the Dancefloor".

There seems to always be some really cool music going on in Portland, and even though I'm sure I miss out on 90% of it, the stuff I hear is always great. I got sent this track a few weeks ago, and saw that Gejius had remixed it, who we've posted on before. Knowing his previous work, I was interested to hear this, and I'm glad I took a listen. The original track is some very nice indy/synth-pop, and the remix adds a little more flavor and spice that gives the track a nice complexity and chilled-out feel. [...]

Gejius kikks a pack of snacks downtown: the original of Very International Love's "Fire" and his remix for. Both tracks will be released on Very International Love's next EP soon. Smell, taste, float away. Mp3: Very International Love - Fire Mp3: Very International Love - Fire (Gejius Remix)

After three long days of no internet, I'm back up, and since I haven't been able to drop any tracks on you guys for the last couple of days, I've decided to post up some of the stuff that I've gotten over the last week or so. I'd go through it all and let you know what I think about all this stuff, but I really don't feel like giving my opinion tonight, so I think you should just download them and decide for yourself. All these guys and girls have the Myspace, and I'll bet your resourceful [...]

pop. pop. Fire - Very International Love

Very International Love , and electro-pop duo out of Oregon(?), put together this feel-good tune called "Fire" and it's pretty much hitting the spot right now. VIL kiiiiind of reminds me of Cut Copy a little but, but with a crunchier electronic sound, if you know what I mean. Seeing as "Fire" is already being a standalone boner jam, what could one do to improve on it? Make it a dance tune (duh), which is exactly what Gejius did. Very International Love have an EP dropping soon and I'll definitely be passing on any information about that. [...]
