A few months ago we posted about Hooray for Earth and their new EP Momo. We have been spinning their single "Surrounded by Your Friends" ever since. I got a chance to catch up with Noel from Hooray for Earth a few weeks ago to answer a few questions. Artist: Hooray For Earth Album: Momo [...]
Back in March we posted up a video for Jake Troth's extremely catchy new tune "Material Things." Now he's teamed up with hip-hop artist B. Rossi to write "Gems And Rubies." It's a song about the inevitable question that most dreamers face during their journey to success— "should I be doing this?" Click here to [...]
Los-Angeles based The Hmmm have teamed up with renowned Madrid photographer Vincent Urbani for the making of the video for their single "Face2Face" off their upcoming album They Need a Hatcheck Girl at the Silver Dollar. I love that album name for some reason. No info on the release date at this time, [...]
Mont Lyons has been toying with us in regards to the release of their EP Sleeptalk. Well good news... the EP is finally out and you can get it on iTunes here. Here at newdust we are huge fans of Mont Lyon's haunting vocals, eerie harmonies, and pop hooks. Enjoy "Company" and check out more [...]
Alpha's Lost In A Garden Of Clouds was the album that got me hooked on the triphop/downtempo/lounge genres. They've been making music for a little over a decade now, but this album was one of their first fully instrumental. What I love about the album is its seamless transitions from one song to the next. [...]
A month ago, the name "Vondelpark" used to refer to nothing but a trendy Amsterdam park where you can enjoy concerts and plays in the Summer. Well, though the most famous Vondelpark still is this adorable little Dutch spot, another one has blossomed, and it is rumored to come from London. Very little is known [...]

I just watched World's Greatest Dad a couple nights ago. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. It's a twisted, dark comedy about a father who loses his son to a freak accident and decides to ghostwrite a ransom note to avoid embarrassment. There's a scene in the movie with a shortened [...]

Detox Retox hails from DC and recently finished recording their new EP Movement. The band is playing its brand of power punk/pop with friends of newdust Loose Lips on June 19th at the Black Cat. The show is for both the Movement EP release and Loose Lips new EP release. Dual EP release party? You all [...]
Don't ask me why but for some reason I woke up this morning with Yello on my mind. "Who?" you ask yourself. Yello is the Swiss electronic duo responsible for the song accompanying Cameron Fry's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. Oh yeah. Still confused? Than you're probably not a product of the '80s. I've [...]
It's been awhile since we've had a post in the realm of ambient music, so here's a vintage one for you. This is the debut album of Erik Kowalski (aka Casino Versus Japan), and it houses a wide range of sounds and styles that would fall under the ambient umbrella. At 22 tracks [...]
Check out these videos from Erik and Jess of Lightfoot performing at Som Records on Record Store Day. Cherish these folk/pop songs while they last because according to Erik (lead guitar w/ LF) the band's sound is taking a whole new direction after the summer. Enjoy!
Unlike some albums that grow on you the more you listen, this one delivers instant gratification. The Spires are a trio consisting of core members Jason Bays (vocals and guitar) and Colleen Coffey (drums) along with Catelyn Kindred (bass). They basically locked themselves in their practice space and spit out Curved Space (out 7/13) in [...]

I was thinking that newdust needed a good dose of pop/punk this Thursday. So... I figured I would post about The Futureheads new album The Chaos. Check out the single "Struck Dumb" and the video for "Heartbreak Song" (my personal favorite). Enjoy! ATTN DC: The Futureheads are playing with The Likes and Static Jack tomorrow Friday June [...]
Every time I hear "Dreams" by The Cranberries, I am reminded of just how great a song it is. The Delfields have been covering it during their live shows for almost two years now, and due to the overwhelming audience response it almost always evokes, the group decided to record their version of the tune. [...]
Here's a really cool video from Norway's The Shock! for their newest single "In Silence". I'm especially fond of the opening sequences with the children playing cowboys and indians, it's very Where The Wild Things Are-esque minus the monsters of course. Very well produced and directed video, and the song reminds me a [...]
