Two weeks ago we posted on Unknown Mortal Orchestra's "breezy" track "So Good At Being in Trouble" from their new album II. Video definitely has a very LA feel to it, with a story of a missing girl, a lover scorned, and hippy lust. Enjoy. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "So Good At Being [...]

Local DC dudes Ra Ra Rasputin are out with a new single, "Whenever You're Ready" (the first of many I am told). The track has an 80's funk, pop swing that at times is reminiscent of indie-dance pop stars Cut Copy. It is complete with their trademark juxtaposition of monotone vocals and funky beats. The [...]
The French can really nail the sophisto-cool aesthetic. Think of Air or smoother Daft Punk tracks with their Parisian calm and collectedness, being cool means never losing your cool. This track from Paradis, a young Parisian duo feels calm, collected and sexy. It’s a perfect noir-pop track which reinforces music related national stereotypes. The french [...]
While technically sequenced as a b-side on Ducktails' latest long-player The Flower Lane, "Letter of Intent" is a clear stand-out on an consistently stellar record. A multitude of guests are featured on this one, including vocalists Jessa Farkas (Future Shuttle) and Ian Drennan (Big Troubles), as well as bass and synth work from Joel Ford [...]
Granted, We Are Trees haven’t released any new material in quite a long while; not a single, a demo, an EP, nothing. It’s not just that they haven’t released any new music, but little has been heard of them whatsoever. Even with the omniscient power of Google to aid me, a rather extensive search yielded [...]
Cherokee | Funky Business There is just too much funky business going on...

Sean Nicholas Savage’s music dredges up a cluster of associations, almost all of which are kitsch and cheese. This might lead you to believe that Savage is being ironic or postmodern or some other bullshit. But unfashionable styles and sounds were once put forth completely earnestly. I assure you that Savage and his music are [...]
She may be the little sister in the first family of pop c. 2012, but Solange represents an altogether unique and even strange bird among these regal creatures. Known as much for her Dirty Projectors cover and well-recorded Grizzly Bear appreciation as her own LPs, Solange inverts the Kanye cross-over model, inserting a modern soul [...]
Scope out this psychedelic R&B from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Their new album "II" is out on February 5th via Jagjaguwar. Get breezy... Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "So Good At Being In Trouble"
New track from up and coming electro R&B artist Othello Woolf. "Odysseus" has a sexy, smokey vibe. Reminiscent of a lot of Miguel's work this past year, the artist states the music is best heard "late at night in darkness on your own or with your girl." This is the latest in a series of [...]
Junior Parker was a straight up Bluesman with a capital “B”. He was born in the deep south, jammed with Howlin’ Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, and B.B. King, and he wrote a song that was co-opted and popularized by Elvis (“Mystery Train”). But far from being a purist content to relax on his [...]
Beautiful video of the soulful Lee Fields performing "Still Hanging On" at a 16th century church in Holland. Listen to more Lee Fields over at our "2012: Ten Tracks We're Sorry We Missed..." post. Enjoy...
Chevalier Avant Garde are a Montreal based duo of ex-pats named Dimitri and Filip. Dimitri grew up on a NATO based on Crete and Filip comes from Lodz, Poland's third largest city. That is to say, they don't quiet fit in. They are earnest, have a Blade Runner visual aesthetic and all their music sounds [...]
