Stream: Beck – “Defriended”

Jun 4, 10:39pm mostly junkfood

Beck is my boy forever. He's also someone I'm constantly frustrated about never having seen in concert, one day I hope. The last we heard from Beck he was conducting a 170 piece orchestra . Now, he decided to remind us of his weirdo dominance and release a stand alone single called "Defriended," quite the track name to draw in some youths. According to Rolling Stone, Beck is working on an acoustic album as well as a rumored "proper follow up to Modern Guilt. " Initially certain aspects of "Defriended" reminded me of Animal Collective's [...]

Jun 4, 4:43pm mostly junkfood

The Neighbourhood announced they would be releasing exclusive 73 available at their shows on their tour right now. Previously a release with Lovelife, they are now touring with The 1975 as of this week and with their new touring partner have a new 73 release. In "No Grey," The Neighbourhood's hip-hop influence is so sweetly intertwined in a melody and chorus so in sync with their power for pop. The 19752s induces their beautiful, sensitive pop swagger into their new song "Milk." Get the limited 73 from The Neighbourhood & The 1975 when they come [...]

Video: Scotty – “My Shoes” ft. Killa Kyleon & Starlito

Jun 4, 4:30pm mostly junkfood

Scotty drops a visual for one of the standout tracks off his "Forever Atlanta In The Heart" project. Trading verses with Houston artist Killa Kyleon and Nashville artist Starlito, these three do justice to the immaculate beat created by DJ Burn One. I've mentioned before how much of a fan I am of this mixtape, and I hope the profile of the tape continues to rise. Scotty is going to be shooting a video for "GAME" with Trinidad James and Big K.R.I.T. soon so be on the lookout for that as well. Check [...]

video: xSDTRK – powDer ft. Coco Baudelle

Jun 4, 4:05pm mostly junkfood

Get your 3d glasses out kids and prepare for a hypnotic journey of light and color. Manhattan via Montreal's  xSDTRK  music started with a foundation in classical piano, and you can hear these roots in his chord progressions. Add some pulsating 808 percussion, twitching synths, and ethereal vocal samples from Coco Baudelle and you have a track that is simultaneously massive and intimate. The video is an absolute wonder to watch, 3d or not, s/o to the director  Geoff Webb . You can also grab an mp3 of this track right here . [...]

Jun 4, 8:18am mostly junkfood

My love  Tove Lo  has a new song this week as the featured vocalist on Swedish producer Lucas Nord's "Run On Love" and I'm obsessed.

Stream: SomeKindaWonderful – “Reverse”

Jun 4, 12:40am mostly junkfood

"Fuck you it's over." Some first lyric for LA/Cleveland based  SomeKindaWonderful's "Reverse" that has been played too much on my computer to not be posted. The melody. The ooh's. The power of lead singer Jordy Towers' voice against that deep beat. It's just all so tantalizing. Watch out for SomeKindaWonderful's debut EP out later this summer.

Video: Flume – “On Top” (featuring T.Shirt)

Stream: Crass Mammoth – “Ef En Eu”

Jun 3, 9:28pm mostly junkfood

It sucks having to compare exciting new acts to old bands people are familiar with, but I can see how northwest Georgia trio Crass Mammoth would get Alice In Chains comparisons. My 3 hopes for rock'n'roll currently are The Stepkids, Tame Impala and Crass Mammoth. Joseph, Matthew & Trey continue to make music that gets me excited about music. Can't wait to hear what's to come Ef En Eu drops tomorrow. Stream it below until then: Stream: Crass Mammoth - "Ef En Eu" [...]

Video: Caveman – “In The City”

Jun 3, 8:51pm mostly junkfood

This Caveman  song is so catchy and makes me so happy. The video is so twistingly anxiety-producing. Also Julia Stiles is in it, which was really the perfect choice. She's from New York, Caveman is from New York, and the centerpiece of the video is New York's famous Jane Hotel. And you know Julia was totally prepped for this by her days on  Dexter . Like Dexter, Caveman proves that psycho-creepy can be a really really good thing, like in the case of a really good song and a psycho-thriller video treatment. Get [...]

Video: The Weeknd – “Wicked Games” (Until The Ribbon Breaks Reimagination)

May 31, 1:52pm mostly junkfood

This is disgustingly and absurdly incredible. Mysterious  Until The Ribbon Breaks reworked  The Weeknd 's "Wicked Games" into a masterful heart-devouring few minutes of R&B tinged electronics that will make you crumble all over due to it's sheer power and visual seduction. His music changes things and with a recent signing by Republic, he's about to change everything. Oh and he's got that Jay-Z approval , so there's that.

MP3: Follow Me – “Somethin’ Bout You”

May 31, 1:17pm mostly junkfood

  Follow Me   is NYC based production duo Joe Spagna and Anthony Vertullo created a gives-her-chills kind of song in the funky "Somethin' Bout You." It's R&B tied up in terrestrial electronics to create the grooviest dance jam that ever was, which is probably why Heavy Roc just scooped them up to their label. Also, they remixed  TLC's "Unpretty" so you know they have an ear for good music and a talent for remixing. Also, Heavy Roc will give $5 (in internet high-fives) to any of you R&B-heads that can [...]

May 31, 9:57am mostly junkfood

It's hard for any band to follow up to a song as catchy/beloved as 20122s "Float" or the ambient "Lose My Mind" but Pacific Air lives up to their predecessors the undeniably infectious "Move." With compelling catchy hooks and surge of upbeat melody, Pacific Air proves they are masters of pop. Their debut album  Stop Talking is out June 11th. And if you missed it, we premiered they're remix of  Magic Man's "Paris" last week and it's electronic wizardry. [...]
