Happy Friday dudes! Catch the new single "Lost Weekend" by NYC electro outfit Tiny Victories. At times they remind me of Baltimore scenester faves Future Islands... in a good way. Their tracks have huge layers of sound that add depth to the duo's earnest yet monotone vocals. Grab the rest of the EP, [...]
Chamber-pop folk quartet Seashell Radio releases a light-hearted music video for "Bromide," a song from their 2010 release What Do You Have Against Happiness? The band takes us through a bachelor's daily routine as he prepares for a date that, unfortunately, doesn't work out for him in the end. The video has a sweet little [...]
I have a confession to make. I'm in love with Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe. And by I, I mean more specifically my ears, and by Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe, I mean more specifically the music they make. This post goes out to Øye & Bøe, and to the music they've made [...]
Arkist | Fill Your Coffee Arkist - "Fill Your Coffee"
Check out the new video from Wise Blood for the track "Loud Mouths". This video is slightly NSFW, but mostly takes you on a cryptic journey of murder, kidnapping, and betrayal. All shot in hi-def in a mauseleuem built in the 1920's. Get Wise Blood's EP "These Wings" on iTunes here and [...]

Ramona Gonzalez has been creating music under the moniker Nite Jewel for quite some time now. In 2008, the California bred songstress released her debut LP Good Evening to critical acclaim, and has since honed in on her unique style of lo-fi dance music. The Los Angeles-based musician took influences from both '80s pop and [...]
Usually I pour my heart and soul into each and every post on Newdust, spending hour-upon-hour crafting my description of the artist's style and sound, but this time I'll let Alexander Trust provide his own. He describes his EP Maneuver North America as "what a dance floor version of Boards of Canada might sound like." [...]

DC resident DJs Gavin Holland and Chris Burns have released a great new three song EP under the moniker Party Bros. The record is out via their new label Mysteries of the Mind. "Heartstones" is by far my favorite off the record and watch out for the epic saxophone riff around 1:23... it [...]
The Rapture | It Takes Time To Be A Man (Buy the record here)
Check out Knoxville, Tennessee natives COOLRUNNINGS, latest single "Spirit of the High". The band draws from a wide range of influences but I am especially digging the late 60s rock vibe of this track. A sort of homage to "Spirit in the Sky". Listen and buy all of COOLRUNNINGS releases here. Enjoy... COOLRUNNINGS | [...]
In 2010, the Australia via South Africa electronica trio, Clubfeet, released its debut, Gold on Gold, which was well-recieved in the blogosphere. In 2011, the album made a resurgence when Sydney-based videographer Alex Goddard collaborated with the group to create a series of music videos accompanied by numerous remixes of the original song. "BrightLightsBigCity," [...]
To say that we here at Newdust are big fans of ambient instrumental/electronic tunes would be a massive understatement. Humongous fans? Yeah, that's more like it. Twenty year old graphic design major Brian Ecklund introduced me to his first couple full lengths, of which he has spent a mere two months putting together. Under the [...]
