This dreamy, candy-coated video for Boy Friend's latest single, Lovedropper , premiered over at GVB the other day but it wasn't until today that I actually took the time to watch it—it's fantastic. Directed by Amanda Joy . Grab the 7" over at Hell, Yes! Limited to 700 (first 300 on orange). Boy Friend's debut full-length is due out this October. [MP3] Boy Friend - Lovedropper Boy [...]
Woozy hot wired electricity supported by sweaty panting machinery that's lightly accented by 80's dream keys and Arnaud's soft but masculine vocals. Slowly fade away into A.P. Witomski's new EP, Zenith October ... (due out soon) [MP3] A. P. Witomski - Pandoraski A. P. Witomski on Bandcamp | Facebook
Accented by a dim light and the smell of second-hand smoke on my skin, this song caught me at the cusp of consciousness, late in the evening. Lost amongst my own memories, I heard Devin ( "The Serpent" Ruben Perez ) playing this song in the other room—repeating it, until we all slowly faded along with it. It made the best night cap (thanks Devy). The Memories are a Portland, Oregon band made up of White Fang and BOOM! members. This is off their debut [...]
I feel like it's only a matter of time until Thomas Michael aka Ghibli (and formerly known as Jaded Hipster Choir) starts laying down the musical atmosphere for some really incredible films or artistic productions. While he never loses sight of that jaded experimental pop we know and love in his forthcoming album, Pythia, his gorgeous use of samples paint dramatic scenes I can only envision as being part of a theatrical masterpiece. Here's a little sample of this upcoming album, [...]
![The Wake - On Our Honeymoon [video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3441159_lg.jpg)
While this couple may not be bumpin' boots on their honeymoon, this track is more than enough to get you to do the horizontal mambo every morning [...day or night]. This one's been on relentless rotation ever since I snagged The Wake wax bundle on Captured Tracks ; and I've sort of made it a ritual to "wake up to The Wake" ever since. I'd say it's better than a cup of coffee or a cold shower and it gets me kicking and dancing uncontrollably—even before I turn myself upright for the day (not to mention, it's [...]
LA's Kevin Skyler offers more equations of motion than a freakin' physics book. If there's anything that fights the law of gravity, it would be this. Whether you dig floating cosmically in space or love becoming magically displaced (by way of s = .5(u+v)t), there's something here to get your rockets launching, your pistils firing or your mind soaring like a Nerf projectile at the velocity rate of v = u + at whaaaa? s = the distance between initial and final positions (displacement) u = the initial velocity (speed in a given direction) [...]
Richie Follin always has a way of igniting me with fiery energy—the kind that makes me feel like whatever it is I'm doing (like...sitting at a computer on a bus) is just not good enough. I always feel like I need to break the cage, jump the fence, jump a roof...jump some rope...whatever. It's the kind of music that makes me wanna rally up, live life and maybe cause a little havoc along the way. "Let's set you free..." [...]
![Raw Thrills - Laurel Canyon Dreamin' [video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3419073_lg.jpg)
Hey lone rangers! Saddle up and head down the road to Laurel Canyon—a place where the air is dusty, the drinks are stiff and the rolling ranges and rocky peaks fill your periphery (not to mention, it's known for breeding timeless classics...and countless kai-yotes). So, grab a seat and a dirty glass and swig back some jack for this California cowboy ! You can see the tie -dye tumble weeds a-rollin' (and [...]

![Milky Sway - Cosmic Touch [video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3404507_lg.jpg)
We all know Jem's truly outrageous (truly, truly outrageous). Here's a new video from Jorge Torrens (also see Port City ) for Milky Sway, Cosmic Touch— which features a great clip from one of her obviously outrageous episodes . Oddly enough, I've been singing Jem all day... This track is off the album, Sexy Casual . Grab it on Bandcamp [...]
![heRobust - Snail Gate [video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3404509_lg.jpg)
Unlike a lot of other retro-style videos that have been surfacing, this one pops with so much color that its polished appearance becomes truly hypnotic (I don't even have the right words for it, really). As much as I love the faded retro-look (can't express that enough!), it's refreshing to see this new style come about by the bold (and dare I say—beautiful?) Boldtron brothers. I've watched this a few times, and I'm definitely not going to stop there—I'm so blown away by this! [...]
What we have here is a case of bribery! Someone (Nolan) has asked me to link to Peirce Brosnan's wiki page somewhere in this post in exchange for a tape. Well, while I already have the album (and don't need to use up your precious resources, bb), I thought this would be fun. So, somewhere in this post, you will find the grand gateway to all the Brahz trivia you could ever imagine—in addition to some other random stuff along the way . [...]

La Big Vic's latest, which they just debuted, and I can't stop watching (with and without my eyes closed!), is currently only available in video form—pixelated video collage form, to be exact. Their full-length, Actually , actually drops May 10 on Underwater Peoples , so get after it; and get after this. Video Mulch by Luke Wyatt If you missed any of La Big Vic's [...]
![Wir Sind Keine Eltern - Wir Bleiben Nicht Alle [video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3404514_lg.jpg)
Another hypnagogic, or to some ( ahem ), h-pop track for you to check out. This one is off an upcoming Skeehn release for Wir Sind Keine Eltern; and if you're like me, and are only skilled in the English language (let's be honest here), that means, We Are Not Parents (or so my google translater claims). Here's the new video for Wir Bleiben Nicht Alle—though, it's a bit shorter than the EP version below. [...]
Having been a long-time fan of Fleetwood Mac and their track, Everywhere , I can't help but get so totally sucked into this heavy electro pop version—especially when the voice manipulation comes in. I've gone back to it many times since Evan Doyle sent this my way over a week ago, and every time, it gets better and better...and better. Grab it on SoundCloud and listen to this everywhere . [MP3] Exeter - To [...]
