Walla's "No Time" is a track that grabs you immediately. Every layer is built with the intent to be (good) catchy, whether it's the opening synth chords, anthemic falsetto chorus, groove-disco drums, or awesome guitar/synth sound that kicks in during the bridges, there are no weak links. LA-based Walla fit right into the current upswell [...]
The B-side to Say Lou Lou's new single "Julian" is pretty much that, the opposite. Even with the similar somber electronic sound, "Fool of Me" is a love story shot through a different lens. "Fool of Me", featuring fellow Australian Chet Faker, is the age old tale of trying to will one's love to be [...]
Our favorite remixer RAC has been really active lately and it would be a shame not to feature some of it...so why not all of it. Starting off with the blippy take on Capital Cities' "Safe and Sound", followed the straight forward remix of Bastille's "Laura Palmer", then the ambient groove applied to Steel Train's [...]
Oh did you need a weekend anthem? Empire of the Sun have emerged from the icey mountains of whatever mythical place they record with "Alive". There are few more words to say than this thing is an anthem. It will easily become the banner song of summer 2013, unless another track from Ice On The [...]
The term ski lodge conjures posh images of the privileged chuckling around a warm fire in a lavish room adorned with way too many dead animals. The Brooklyn indie poppers by the same name have nothing to do with that. Though they share a similar musical pallet with preppy peers Vampire Weekend, Ski Lodge shares little of [...]
Jordan Jeffares finally came back from obscurity announcing the new Snowden album No One In Control with the upbeat "The Beat Comes" last summer. Jeffares followed that up with the slow burner "Keep Quiet" and now we have "So Red", a return to sound we know and love from Snowden. Listen to both "So Red" and "Keep [...]
LA producer duo Classixx is setting up for an incredible record release with "Holding On" and "Borderline" and now exuberant "All You're Waiting For". This is another dance floor jam falling somewhere between the two previous singles. "All You're Waiting For" uses a similar synth pallet to "Borderline" but shows none of the restraint going straight [...]
I've been sitting on this gem for a bit too long, it's probably turned diamond. I don't know much about Gypsy & the Cat but that I really love this song. I'd put the Melbourne, Australia band next to other psych-pop acts like MGMT. Enjoy "Only In December" and go purchase The Late Blue. Gypsy [...]
So if you haven't heard by now The Knocks teamed up with fellow NYC artist and former tour buddy St. Lucia to give you one of the biggest party anthems of the year, "Modern Hearts". Right from the start you can tell the tag-team brought their A+ game. Housey synths swell as Grobler woah's the [...]
The Swedish/Australian Kilbey twins are at it again with a new single and a new name change. Doesn't matter if they're Saint Lou Lou, SLL, or now Say Lou Lou they still deliver a stunning track. "Julian" is a simple but powerful story of love and the borders they'll cross to be with the one [...]
I like to prepare for music festivals by giving every artist a listen. The great thing about Coachella is there are so many artists of all genres that I always come across something I've missed. There are a lot of acts I'm looking forward to that don't need any coverage: Phoenix, Local Natives, New Order, [...]

We've been falling over ourselves for Carousel's warm brand of electropop for some time now. So when they released a new song I listened to it whilst typing up a post...didn't even listen to it first. Few bands out there have impressed me with literally every single they put out. Anyways, "Another Day", another gem. [...]
Chlöe Howl is the 17 year old British singer above who recently released her Rumour EP for free download (awesome). Don't let her sprite face fool you, both standout tracks from the EP below, "Rumour" and "No Strings", show a grown up and somewhat tainted outlook on the world. The more uplifting "Rumour" features several [...]
Active Child is back and maybe better than ever. Pat Grossi's most recent track "Evening Ceremony" is a brooding and confident featuring some of the best vocals from the project yet. Little information comes with the track but we're all hoping for another full length. Enjoy! Active Child - "Evening Ceremony"
The prince and princess of electronic music finally collaborated creating this shot of red bull, "Stay Awake". Both artists are here with full force. Ellie Goulding's lyrics and vocals are as hooky as ever and Madeon's production shows us he's not just a house savant with more of a DnB influence. Big start to your [...]
We've already heard "A Tattered Line of String" and now we get to clamor over the second "new" song from the 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Give Up "Turn Around". Starting off a little slow the track quickly turns around (sorry...) into one of the more lively songs from The Postal Service. Enjoy!
Kveikur, Sigur Rós's seventh studio album, has been promised to be "more aggressive" than previous records and the first official taste confirms that statement. "Brennisteinn" is chuggier than anything we've heard from the Icelandic post-rock trio but still contains Jónsi's signature angelic vocals. Check out the creepy awesome video above. Kveikur is due out June [...]
I tripped over Bear Mountain's music last week while letting SoundCloud suggested tracks play in the background of a busy work day. Suddenly I found myself bobbing my head to the infectious rhythm of "Congo" and half-ass singing along without knowing any of the lyrics. I immediately investigated and found it a product of the [...]
