Reminds me of Fleetwood Mac meets Goldfrapp, in others words, damn good! Xylos - Summerlong
Donos de "X-Ray" , um dos synth-pop mais açucarados do ano passado, o Xylos lançou em 2011 um debut divertido mas que passou despercebido por muitos. Prontos para a redenção, a banda já lançou esse ano a excelente "Summerlong" de aperitivo, mas volta agora com o primeiro single oficial do segundo disco, que será lançado ainda esse ano e promete cumprir o que o primeiro não fez. Dessa vez com o único intuito de te fazer dançar, o quinteto do Brooklyn recrutou o experiente produtor Abe Seiferth (DFA, Yeasayer, Holy Ghost!) para a [...]
Without hearing any new music for over a month (that's a seriously long time for me), this selection of tracks are a blessing to my ears. Digitalism & Tommy Trash - Falling (Digitalism Original Version) VISITOR - Coming Home (LifeLike Remix) Rip
Xylos apparently wants you to dance your ass off-at least that seems to be the operative concept behind the pulsing, shimmery throwback funk of their latest single "Fiction in 4 Moves." With its insistent four on the floor chorus and airy vocals, it would sound right at home in a nightclub scene from Scarface or as a nice retro nod in a movie like Drive . Either way, Day-Glo is the sheen and stillness definitely is not the move. Listen to "Fiction in 4 Moves" below.
Springy, sugary, gushy electropop today from Xylos . As if you'd expect anything else from the Trentemøller tourmates other than crowded club excellence, infectious melodies, bubblegum drumkits and electro-tamborine breakdowns. "Fiction In 4 Moves" is produced by Abe Seiferth (DFA, Yeasayer, Holy Ghost!) and it shows. AKA you best break your silver shoes to dance to this one. Xylos - Fiction In 4 Moves

Last summer there was a certain feel that Dirty Gold’s “California Sunrise” offered to my rotation. This track was fresh and it’s top down approach provided me with an anthem to heal the burn of countless hours in the summer sun. As I spent a recent afternoon thinking about this track I sat and wondered what was going to be offered to me in the same capacity this year to put my summer mind at ease. Enter Xylos “Summerlong”. Xylos are five-piece electro-pop group from Brooklyn and their recent track “Summerlong” offers a similar quality to [...]
Enigmatic duo MS MR (@msmrsounds) have remained more or less a mystery since propelling into the scene several months ago. With the release of their debut single “Hurricane” (out July 2 via Iamsound/Chessclub), they’ve made quite an impact, peaking at #1 on Hype Machine just a few weeks ago. Their quick ascent to popularity garnered them a booked tour supporting Marina & the Diamonds , along with a handful of smaller shows. Last Friday, we caught their set at Glasslands in Brooklyn, opening for Xylos . It [...]

There's just something about this song that makes me want to post it on a Friday evening heading into a long weekend. Summerlong by Xylos just has that chill, indie dance vibe to it that fits perfectly for tonight. So that's it. Here's the song.
After taking its sweet time last year, summer has struck back with a vengeance. At least here in the midwest, 90+ degree temperatures and clear, sunny skies are quickly becoming the norm. Of course, with the changing of the seasons not only comes trips to the beach and increased slushie sales but exuberant, feel-good summer jams. As is our tradition here at Music For Ants, we're providing a mix that will hopefully soundtrack some of your 2012 summer memories. Download below or take a listen at Spotify . Enjoy!

Xylos: Summerlong [ mp3 ]
Put away the down jackets, thermal underwear and winter hats (unless for stylistic purposes), winter is in the rearview with our summertime destination quickly approaching. As bleak winters succumb to the vitality of the shifting seasons, it is only appropriate that our favorite playlists see a corresponding rejuvenation. Xylos, the quintet hailing from Brooklyn, NY, is no newcomer when it comes to crafting rollicking tunes best suited for sun-on-your-face, wind-in-your-hair type of days. The bands eponymous LP, released in April of last year, showcased a transformation from previous works, surrounding Monika Heidemann's vocals with 80's infused synthesizers, the result [...]
