New Coldplay Track. I feel compelled to post their first new single in 3 years. The song features a sample of Peter Allen's "I Go to Rio". Enjoy. Listen to "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall"
These come off the Forsaken Cowboy EP, the second single from their latest LP Senior. Enjoy. Forsaken Cowboy by Röyksopp
British lo-fi outfit made groundbreaking work with their debut Thunder, Lightning, Strike. A blend of hip-hop, pop, electronic, bossa nova, and 70s elevator music, The Go! Team was bringing something fresh and untapped. The new-found success surely affected their approach to the next critically acclaimed Proof of Youth, as they moved closer and closer towards [...]
Terrible band name, yes, but they've got an insanely catchy song "The Golden Age" featured in a Heineken commercial this past week. The song is actually a couple years old, but there's no time limit on an awesome track. Listen to "The Golden Age"
I'll admit I've never the biggest fan of TV On the Radio. I thought they were getting accolades for doing nothing but putting out lo-fi esoteric sounds. That said, I'll never turn down a great song. "Will Do" comes off of TV on the Radio's 5th LP Nine Types of Light. It begins with a [...]
-- So I'm staring at my TV the other day, and bam, another awesome Amazon Kindle commercial comes on. I've got no crazy love for the Kindle, but I have to say that all their adverts are intriguing as they are simple. And what's this distinctly retro vibe of a single guitar and a cowbell? [...]

It's pretty crazy to think that The Weepies husband-and-wife duo of Deb Talan and Steven Tannen have already come out with their 4th LP Be My Thrill! What with a rather young child in tow, I would understand how a studio album and a 36-city tour would be arduous. I could wax more about the [...]
You feel that? Yeah, there's a funky groove in the air and we got to let it percolate. Tennishero - "Midnight Love" Smooth as silk synths combined with a captivating riff, Tennishero knows how to do it right. New Order - "Jetstream (Jacques Lu Cont 2nd Mix)" Pretty pedestrian mix until you get to about [...]
Never back Sufjan into a corner. Never try to stereotype him. Don't even think about creating a new genre so you can describe him and his music. Why? Because he'll disappoint you. He'll tell you that he's going to play catch with you, and he stands you up. He'll blow your mind and he'll frustrate [...]

New Order - " Jetstream (Jacques Lu Cont 2nd Mix) " Pretty pedestrian mix until you get to about the 1:40 mark, at which the track blossoms into an ethereal, bass-bumping kick ass mix. Tweet This!

2 pairs of British siblings got together some 8 years ago to form what is now an acclaimed indie rock band. Their eponymous debut was received to much fanfare, and for good reason. This was followed by their sophomore release, Those the Brokes , which built on the unique 70s-pop-meets-modern-day-sensi bilities sound that they have perfected over the last decade. Which brings me to their latest release The Runaway (out Aug. 3 in the US). The Magic Numbers have slowed it down a bit for this album, gaining in sentimentality what they [...]
The much anticipated 5th LP High Violet from The National dropped back in May, and apparently to great fanfare. It opened at #3 (!) on the US Billboard 200, and garnered an eye-popping 8.7/10 from Pitchfork. Indeed, it seems that the moody rockers have appeared to hit it just right with its listeners, though this writer is not as enthusiastic. The bottom line is this: I was always fine with The National going the way of the downtrodden and dramatic artist, as long as they stuck with intriguing melodies and harmonies that almost belied the lyrics. With [...]
Creepy? Another edition of bits and pieces, where you'll find random tracks I've been listening to lately and that I think you should hear. Let's get started! Royksopp - " So Easy (Live) " This is the song that hooked me into Royksopp. Aside from being forever grateful to the track, I've always had a healthy obsession with any and all versions of the funked out Norwegian tune. Felix Da Housecat - " Sinnerman 2010 " This is another take on the stupendous "Sinnerman" remix of [...]
__________. That's the space everyone gets for telling me that the following album came out almost a year ago. Now that it's out of your system, hear me out for a couple of paragraphs. I've had a long time love affair with Zero 7. Aside from the intriguing hooks and genre-breaking endeavors, the wide array of guest singers that have appeared on their albums have been the most captivating of all. Yeah Ghost came out last October, and to mixed reviews . Lead instrumental track "Count Me Out" starts out inconspicuous (or is it mysterious) [...]

Jimmy LaValle, the man behind the music of The Album Leaf, isn't exactly what I'd call a storyteller. In fact, it wasn't until a few years ago that LaValle and company actually sang on their records. The popular belief is that if you don't have lyrics to your songs, then you're either a jam band or you're making eclectic ambience/lounge music. Now I'm not going to charge The Album Leaf with such generalizations, but I will write briefly about their latest EP A Chorus of Storytellers . For me, this album typifies the 'hit-or-miss' genre of electronic [...]
