The epic pop jam of Shadow Shadow Shade turns to jelly a little bit in the latest song from the Los Angeles sextet, "Maybe I Could Love." The band's 2010 debut album was described in turns as cinematic and "poperatic" — a rousing indie cocktail of Queen, Arcade Fire, Pink Floyd and the Mamas and the Papas — but recently the band (Brian Canning, Steven Scott, Aaron Burrows, Brent Turner, Tom Biller and Claire McKeown) allowed as how it was going to release songs in small batches, or as singles, rather than embark on another full-length. "Maybe I [...]

If one wasn't wearing earplugs last Thursday at the 9:30 Club , it's a safe bet they're on the road to tinnitus sooner than later, as The Kills and JEFF the Brotherhood redefined "loud." Playing to a sold-out crowd, Kills lead singer Allison Mosshart stalked about the stage, full of dyed-pink hair and attitude, while guitarist Jamie Hince led the band's signature sound, one of gritty guitars and dance loops that collectively create a melody of that exquisite pain that hurts so good. [...]

New Zealand native Ladyhawke debuts the video for "Black, White & Blue," the first single off her highly anticipated sophomore album Anxiety . The video is shot through a retro tinged lense and in it we see Ladyhawke stepping out of her signature punk grunge look into a more glammed up ensemble. In the video, Ladyhawke plays the role of a photographer at a high-end fashion shoot. "Black, White and Blue" is set to be released February 20th with a slew of remixes from The Big [...]

The Big Pink recently released their second album Future This , and even more recently hit us up with this remix of Ladyhawke. Now they're kindly giving us the third single from the album, for the grand price of nothing. The Big Pink went big (if not pink) with Future This , working with super producer Paul Epworth, and going for a more grandiose, as well as poppier sound. Whilst "Give It Up" is actually one of the less massive songs on the album, it still has a [...]

Mauro Remiddi may not be a new name if you've followed his days of scoring short films in the late '90s or if you were a fan of British indie pop band Sunny Day Sets Fire. However, Remiddi is currently gaining a following on his own for releasing music under the moniker Porcelain Raft . After leaving his native country then bouncing from London to New York, the Italian artist's experimentalism has evolved in to woozy bedroom pop that nicely falls in between Beach House and Pink Floyd. Following up his EP "Gone Blind" (released on Acéphale), his debut [...]

Nicki recently delayed her sophomore album's release until April, but that didn't stop another new track from leaking, this time the more pop-forward "Marilyn Monroe," which catches Minaj back in the glossier, autotuned textures of Pink Friday . Sidenote: dap to Nicki for not feeling the need to make a "statement" at yesterday's Super Bowl Halftime Show . Stream "Marilyn Monroe" below. Read More...

Madonna's Super Bowl halftime performance was a glowing spectacle that offered a sampling of the pop queen's lengthy back catalog of hits and boasted a slew of guests like Nicki Minaj, Cee Lo Green and LMFAO. Of course, M.I.A. was there, too, and she made sure all of America knew the size and shape of her middle finger during "Give Me All Your Luvin'" . Naturally, the Internet at large chimed in with several opinions of the show. Catch our roundup of the reviews below! :: [...]

If there's one band that I'm still holding out for because of the promise of their debut LP and a handful of truly excellent songs, it's Here We Go Magic . Now with two albums and an EP under their proverbial studded pink belt, they're ready to drop album number three: A Different Ship . With a title like that and Radiohead's own "fifth Beatle" (Nigel Godrich) grasping production reins, I'd like to think this might be the album where all the stars align... where every song sounds like the prodigious offspring [...]

• Here We Go Magic - Make Up Your Mind

Now for the first installment of the irregular Ghosts of Jambands Past series in over a year. Back in 2000, a collective of rootsy jam men decided to give a new treatment to the Pink Floyd catalog by covering the seminal psychedelic group's material with a gutsy blues inflection. Blue Floyd was born. Featuring Johnny Neel, Berry Oakley, Allen Woody (on guitar, not bass), Marc Ford and Matt Abts, the Mule/Crowes/ABB offshoot quickly became one rowdy, nasty bar band, ripping through Roger Waters era Floyd with layers of organ and loud guitars, often with an accompanying sci-fi classic playing in [...]

Based on life in Los Angeles, the video below of 'making of' footage was filmed in LA, NY, London, Spain. We're loving' the funky vibe of this track, and that extended saxophone solo!

Por Gustavo García ¿Qué se puede esperar de un dúo que cruza el rock shoegaze más lascivo con la avanzada de beats electrónicos en una esfera de sombría depresión? Tras su irrupción en 2009 con el fichaje por parte de 4AD y la edición a fines de ese año del bien recibido A Brief History of Love , muchas eran las miradas que apuntaban a The Big Pink en su sintomático segundo LP y la dirección musical que adoptarían con él.
