Koortwah - Originally, Jake Courtois, who opted for a more... Koortwah - Originally, Jake Courtois, who opted for a more phonetic sobriquet - has a dark and brooding sound with a touch of Warholian ecstasy. Not only is his music as good as his looks, but he also has begun pairing his songs with simple yet interesting, and aesthetically beautiful videos. The videos were what truly reminded me of Warhol; it’s as if the video for “Candy In The Sun” is a screen test that Warhol tampered with to make just a little psychedelic. Enjoy Koortwah’s song “Candy In The Sun” above, and be sure to take [...]

This is a diversion from our usual suspects, but this cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” by Carrie Manolakos is giving me chills I had never anticipated before. Manolakos is best known for her time spent in Broadway’s WICKED as Elphaba, and is currently promoting a solo album entitled ECHO. The original version of “Creep” is one thing, a beautiful and heart-wrenching song about unworthiness, but this live version Manolakos sings at Joe’s Pub is on a platform of its own. This track was taken from the original audio of a youtube video of Manolakos performing live, which adds its [...]

Marina & The Diamonds - Primadonna in the Live Lounge
Following her Marie Antoinette (specifically the version created by Sofia Coppola ) inspired music video, Marina and The Diamonds performed this live version of her new single “Primadonna” at BBC’s Radio 1 Live Lounge. It’s stripped down, but the heart on her cheek bone lets us know that she hasn’t forgotten from where this song was derived.

M. Ward gets it so right with this track that you fall in deep... M. Ward gets it so right with this track that you fall in deep and don’t need to come up for air because whatever kind of special non-oxygen air that he’s providing down below is that much greater. It’s slow and you’re thankful; it’s the song that you want to wake to and nod off to. The recording posted here of “Post-War” is from Matthew Ward’s Daytrotter Session that was released just a couple of weeks ago. I recommend at least going for the 7-day trial that the website offers because you are able to download the sessions [...]

LANA DEL REY - CARMEN
Everyone’s favorite broken-hearted-harlot is gracing us with another self-spliced video comprised of personally collected clips from across the gamut. Her music video for “Carmen” is an appropriately somber, yet beautiful and lush, video narrating the demise of a forlorn beauty queen who is “lyin’ to herself, cause her liquor’s top shelf.” Complete with over-dubbed moments where Lana asks a nameless man to tell her why she’s his dream girl, there is an intimate quality of this video that hadn’t quite been breached in her other DIY-video projects. (Note, as DIY as it appears, Lana has released statements [...]

Victoria Hesketh, popularly known as Britain’s electro-pop princess Little Boots , is dropping her latest single tomorrow entitled “Every Night I Say A Prayer.” Written in collaboration with Hercules and Love Affair ’s Andy Butler, the original track is an audio tribute to the glamour of nu-disco. This remix by Tensnake is an equally stunning and even more club-inspired homage to the beauty of dancing through the night. Music up, lights down, go to town. Check out the free digital download tomorrow, April 23rd, and also Nylon Magazine’s article [...]

I’m pretty confused about this one. English trio Saint... I’m pretty confused about this one. English trio Saint Etienne just released this cover of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” by the Beach Boys, and I grimaced my way through the beginning, thinking it was a sappy, campy take. But it picks up some speed and is kind of catchy towards the end.  It definitely can’t match the original, but…what do you all think?

It’s a day for some chillwave electronic, yes it is. The... It’s a day for some chillwave electronic, yes it is. The jam of “Only” by Regal Safari reminds me of transportation, high saturation and getting low. Groove n’ focus with them big time headphones on or dance ‘til your thighs can’t take it no more. Stream “Only” and other R G L S F R tracks at SoundCloud .

Conner Youngblood’s new single is no disappointment. “Proportions,” the latest addition to the Yale-goer’s growing collection of blogosphere hits, features echoing snaps (who’s not a fan of echoing snaps??) and his familiarly airy vocal line. Its simplicity feeds into a sense of profundity that doesn’t let you go until the track is over. If you want to know more about Mr. YB (I know I did after hearing this song), check out this interview with Live For The Funk. Good stuff!

Penguin Prison’s electro-pop number “Fair Warning” has had no shortage of remixes, and now with an official remix competition for the track under way there have been even more popping up. This would be annoying, but luckily there are people like the Australian producer Muffin who are keeping things interesting. Wipe the sleep from your eyes by listening to this guy’s disco grooving remix above or on SoundCloud and start your Wednesday feeling all rejuvenated. Seriously this track is popping.

My mind has been pretty much blown apart by this frenetic, eerily beautiful mash-up of Janet Jackson’s “Curtains” and The Beach Boys’ “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder),” assembled by electronic artist Daedelus . I can safely say that it’s like nothing I’ve heard before.  Grab the download on SoundCloud , and while you’re at it, download the mp3 below and take a moment to marvel at the harmonic sensibilities of Brian Wilson.
