The answer, and another album artwork, will be posted next Friday.
Being in a band wit your brother always seems like it could end in disaster. The constant bickering over who gets to watch what shows, the petty crimes of stealing one’s sock and the other’s last chip. When a band of brother’s works together however it's sensational... just take a look at DISCLOSURE . With the lack of sibling rivalry within the band, DISCLOSURE have together created some of the most memorable dance tunes and even stopped over at our very own CANT SAY to deliver a stellar set [...]

I took a walk late at night last weekend. I intended to escape the killer night lights that are all too prevalent in this part of the world. I walked to the point where the glow faded into faint slivers of paint in an other wise pitch perfect sky. It is the point where a road drifts to nowhere. I thought I was alone. But tucked off in the back pasture, almost invisible to naked eye, was a badly torn up van. I could see movements inside. I figured I should check things out, see if anyone was in distress. [...]
Después de su aclamada trilogía de mixtapes que fue regalando el año pasado, y de haber firmado con una disquera grande , The Weeknd nos presenta "Kiss Land", un track nuevo que le dará nombre a su nueva producción. El track dura casi ocho minutos y se divide en dos partes que suenan bastante bien. Enjoy.
Young Hunting | Hazel Words by Lee Adcock If you cringe at the prospect of a summer laden with sunny pop, Young Hunting may be your salvation this year. This five-piece dream team from Los Angeles is set to release their debut LP, Hazel , on Gold Robot Records – and while it may be steeped in California’s flower-power history, Young Hunting cast sepia shades over their lush sound by easing back the tempo and centering in on tragic [...]
Vampire Weekend - 'Modern Vampires Of The City' (UK Release: 13 May '13) // Words: Saam Das Revered in some quarters, reviled in others, Vampire Weekend have generated plenty of interest since their emergence from the packed Brooklyn scene circa 2007. But with two critically acclaimed albums under their belts, 'Modern Vampires Of The City' is accompanied by a certain amount of pressure. The band has responded in a curiously engaging fashion, offering a mellower sound, with a surprisingly [...]
'Random Access Memories sees Daft Punk attempt to take dance music forward by looking back, presenting a love letter to the 19702s enveloped in electronic modernity...' Daft Punk | Random Access Memories Lets be honest, Daft Punk’s inevitable comeback was never going to be a restrained and subtle affair, but no one could of predicted the wave of anticipation that has engulfed us all in the last few months.

As we slowly but surely reach summer (well, the clocks have gone forward at least), the subconscious search begins for a band who can soundtrack those midsummer nights and make your overcast BBQ feel a bit more cinematic. Luckily, we may have found a sunset montage worthy future in Embers. They haven't been around for long, but the Manchester quartet already have a majestic, fully formed sound, which is perhaps why we're so excited for their forthcoming new single which hit the web yesterday. 'Part Of The Echoes' is vast and grandiose, making an impact with urgent vocals [...]

![Album Review: JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound – Howl [2013, Bloodshot Records]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4954783_lg.jpg)
How can you fail to love an album that sums up all of human romantic complexity in one sentence? "We howl for love." We do. We date, we wingman, we're set up by friends, we wait by the phone, we agonize over text messages, we break up, we give out our number, we start all over again. Love is complex. Romance is complex. Relationships are complex. JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound boils it down into one universal sentiment and one heart-rending howl. We howl for love. Brooks might be the only crooner on earth who [...]
