Computer Magic - In So Many Ways Danz is the one named feminine brilliance behind Brooklyn via upstate New York's Computer Magic. Her latest EP Spectronic is a eurythmic proportion of synth-pop tracks chiming in at a fantastic 23 minutes. Think somewhere between Chromeo and Hall & Oats. Listen and download the "Private Eyes" like [...]
Purity Ring - Ungirthed Transparent is releasing another gem of a 73, this time it's a dreamy beat-filled and all out crazy track "Ungirthed" from Purity Ring.

Keep forgetting today is President's Day, as everyone has probably slept in well past their means. Wake yourself up to this poptastic tune by Oregon Bike Trail or singer/songwriter Zach Yudin, from Santa Monica. His new single "A Summer Thing" heats up the extra 3 inches that just fell on your car this morning, with Panda [...]
Writer - Miss Mermaid I'm tripping on Benadryl at the moment, so excuse me ahead of time. Trust me, it's not adding to the love for what I just got dropped in my inbox: the San Diego brother duo of Andy and James Ralph who call themselves Writer. Their new single "Miss Mermaid" is slated [...]
We really don't have the slightest amount of patience over here at brokenheartboy. So much so that even one day from the unraveling of the new Radiohead album The King of Limbs we needed it now. And so we do. Courtousy of Prefix magazine, you can stream the entire album in full here. Enjoy!
Johnny Marr recently dropped by one of the amazing Amoeba record stores in California and was snagged to do a quick video of what he was purchasing. Pretty cool to hear what the genius is thinking music wise. And no, there is no talk of a Smiths reunion. Sighhhhhhhh. Have a look:
18 Carat Affair - Passion With instrumental hints of one of our favorite pop albums of all time, Wham! 1984 classic Make It Big, comes 18 Carat Affair with a wide mix of that heavy pop sound mixed with hints of R&B. The one man band Denys Parker and his new album titled 60/40 draw uptempo [...]

"Recorded in a bedroom and sometimes in my car in October - November 2010." Def takes the 'do it yourself' mantra that much further. That's all I got on Young Mind's who have released a free brilliant EP titled Imago Demos. It's synth textures over echoed hazed out vocals and a very serious post-punk drum [...]
Blouse - Firestarter Blouse's last single "Into Black" was so dope in made our Valentine's Day Mix. Today she dropped another bomb on us, the fierce dream-pop "Firestarter." We're more than excited to hear what they have coming down the next couple months. Listen and download it above for yourself.
Really feeling one-man-bands these days. So comes BIGCOLOUR from Chi-town flossing lo-fi experimental pop. Their new single 'Playing Puzzles' keeps to that standard. The one man himself, Brian Brissart starts quickly, screeching away his vocals, distorted so that you can barely make out what the fuck he's actually saying. It adds to the appeal of the thing, [...]
I'll take a step back tonight. I'm going see the post-hardcore godfather's Thursday at Terminal 5 as I do every time they go on tour. Tonight they'll be playing their classic major label debut Full Collapse from start to finish. Crazy that these days music like this doesn't appeal to me anymore, but I will [...]
Austyn Sullivan - Auras: An Incomplete Colony The vast amount of music that Brooklyn via New Orleans Austyn Sullivan has on his bandcamp page can be overwhelming, but worth all your time. I started at the top and made my way down. His 2010 self-released album Nature's Veins is stark with atmospherical textures, hazy faded vocals [...]
