In. love. "When" is the breezy new single from Italian duo M+A. The first announced track from M+A's sophomore LP These Days , is sleek, sophisticated and infinitely catchy. In 2013, we need more tracks like "When". M+A ( Soundcloud ) Rating : 8.3

If  Clarity was any evidence,  Zedd  is well primed for the intersection between pop music and electronic. As much as we dread the ongoing union between our favorite producers and the pop stars of the day, it's an inexorable fact that sooner or later we must accept. After touring with Lady Gaga last spring, Zedd has formally hooked up with the megastar to help produce her forthcoming album  ARTPOP . In an interview with  Rolling Stone , Zedd said of the studio collaboration: "I'm really, really excited for people to hear what we came up with. I just [...]

Scarlet Chives stod bag en af mest interessante danske udgivelser i 2011 med deres selvbetitlede debutalbum. Nu er de klar med en ny single, The Timber Will Fall med den mindst ligeså stærke b-side In A Ground Floor Apartment . Singlen er en forløber til bandets andet album, This Is Protection , der udkommer september 2013 på det norske pladeselskab Riot Factory. The Timber Will Fall drives fremad af især den repetitive bas og den taktfaste trommen. Til sammen danner de en lidt ildevarslende lyd, der understøttes af Maria Holm-Mortensens dramatiske [...]

Lady Gaga  has been unusually quiet over the past few months, as the singer has continued working on her forthcoming album ARTPOP — but she gave her little monsters a treat today on her social networking site when she posted a picture of her and songwriter Dallas Austin  in the studio with her middle finger up. Keeping it classy, as always! There's been little talk surrounding ARTPOP — but her manager, Troy Carter, spilled a few details on the project at the D: All Things Digital conference on Wednesday (May 29). [...]

Så er der mere ny musik fra den danske hovedstad! L E W, aka sanger og guitarist Sara Lewis Sørensen, udgiver sin debut-EP Drenched In Night til efteråret 2013 på pladeselskabet 20thirteen Records Keep Me Going er em smagsprøve på hvad vi kan vente os. Det er en sang med en høj grad af nærvær formidlet gennem Saras sjælfulde vokal, de bølgende og rislende guitarer og de rullende beats. I det hele taget er der masser af dybde at spore i et broget, støvet og detaljerigt lydbillede, der slår bro mellem [...]

Now with Devastations in bed, the members found another moniker to express their musical worries. Standish/Carlyon just released their debut album, the Deleted Scenes LP , but with a [...]

This is one for the record books. Rune Grammofon, 2013 9.0 / 10 At this point, I don’t think Jenny Hval can open an album without dropping a head-snapping line. 2011’s Viscera opened...

Singer-songriter Jenny Hval's sophomore full-length has its share of jumbled ideas with obvious inspirations, but sometimes her vocal expressions and songwriting are just enough to keep this album intriguing and somewhat moving. WATCH THE REVIEW

Austrian singer-songwriter Soap&Skin drops a new 73 of emotionally potent tracks that should hold fans over until something more lengthy comes along. WATCH THE REVIEW

Obsessive, eccentric, indulgent - it's easy to give Porland-based PARENTHETICAL GIRLS various attributes but it's kind of hard to define what the group around mastermind Zac Pennington actually is. It's pop basically - but in a very exciting way. With the intelligent and uncompromising songs of their latest longplayer Privilege the band is about to hit The post Win tickets for Parenthetical Girls appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

Singer-songwriter Jenny Hval has a sharp, interesting voice that is equally matched by the odd beauty of the music she surrounds herself with. This adventurous personality Hval's got was also on display through the track I previously posted on this blog, " I Called ," which is much noisier. In contrast, "The Seer" is a chilly ballad where the vocals really lead the way through droning layers of organ and sparse percussion toward the finish. Enjoy!

"Brooklyn's Dead Leaf Echo is an art collective that is releasing their debut LP "Thought and Language" this Spring. The album has clear 4AD influences as it was mixed by John Fryer (Lush, NIN, Depeche Mode) with artwork by the label's legendary designer V232s Vaughan Oliver (Pixies, Bauhaus). DLE just returned from their east coast tour with Slumberland band Lorelei and played SXSW supporting The Ocean Blue and the Warlocks. They will also be playing TOBs sold out NY show in June. Look for DLE in April on the West Coast playing with Beach Fossils and the Telescopes at The [...]

On James Blake's latest album, the various sides to his musical personality blend together into a pretty uniform set of tracks that combine detailed electronica, chorus-based songwriting, piano, and Blake's sharp voice. WATCH THE REVIEW

On the Knife's latest full-length, the Swedish electronic music duo goes absolutely insane with a 98 minute album that features a ton of long, linear art pop tracks that overload the senses and challenge expectations. WATCH THE REVIEW

A new track from Norwegian singer-songwriter Jenny Hval. Her next album, Innocence Is Kinky , will be dropping April 19th via Rune Grammofon . "I Called" is an exercise in noisy guitars, passionate singing, and strange vocalizations. Jenny definitely displays a knack for taking familiar rock and pop sounds, but turning them into something uncompromisingly weird. Enjoy!

Sette sono gli anni che ci separano dall’ultima opera ufficiale a nome Knife , svariate sono state in questo lasso di tempo le pubblicazioni collaterali riconducibili al geniale duo svedese, tra il catacombale precursore del filone witch-house del progetto Fever Ray per mano della sola Karin , i quattro EP a nome Oni Ayhun del fratello Olof , tra techno e tribalismi, e l’impegnativa opera avant-lirica “Tomorrow, In A Year”, insieme ai degni compari Mt. Sims e Planningtorock . Proprio quest’ultimo personaggio, l’androgina videoartista e musicista inglese che [...]

Blaue Blume - On New Years Eve The guys over at Crack In The Road just posted about this surprisingly good new act,  Blaue Blume . The Copenhagen based band delivers a stunningly emotional art pop feat with On New Years Eve , a literally multilayer pigment of subconsciously sonic texture that lights up any dark fragment that routine pop has caused. A soulful extravaganza ready to enslave each one of you out there! Masterpiece…
