According to her website , by gathering influence from "Townes Van Zandt, John Lee Hooker, and Joni Mitchell, to name a few," Caroline Rose brings us serious, integral folk music, and that is no joke. Accompanied by her partner of four years, Jer Coons, Rose produced her debut album, America Religious , an ode to gritty folk music that tackles the important issues.

Here's some new music from the Robot Army and the artist formerly known as Jason Davis. Adding a Disco to his name, he proves that he's still got the same sound. Philly Phil and B4La$ers join him on this record, which sounds good as the weather gets warmer.

SWEET HEARTS @ Los Angeles, CA. Pop, Acoustic, Indie Official | Facebook If you know me (I'll assume you don't), you'll know that I'm not much for belt-y, powerhouse vocals; I'm more keen on whisper-sweet serenades that require you to almost lean in (even if you've got headphones on).

Brooklyn quartet Beach Fossils have a new 7" single, 'Shallow', coming out February 21 on Captured Tracks. It's a jaunty and full driven affair that more than adequately marks time while they work away on a second album to follow up the ultra-impressive ear candy that served us so well on last year's EP What A Pleasure. That should see the light of day sometime this year. Grab the digital copy of the song below and pre-order the physical specimen here .

Official | Facebook | Twitter | Tumblr It's been a bit of a whirlwind for Guelph, Ontario dream-pop duo Memoryhouse . Having just self-releasing their digital EP The Years the year before (2010), Sub Pop quickly snatched them up in them in 2011, remastered the EP, added a couple of new tracks, and re-released it-this time with a full-fledged physical release (cd and vinyl). Their debut full-length, entitled The Slideshow Effect , is due out February 28 .

So Kanye and Jay-Z have released the appropriately titled, "Otis," (it features a sampling of Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness" ) the first track off their highly anticipated collab album, Watch the Throne . Cue a million pre-teens professing that they have always loved Otis Redding before it was "cool" and before this song even came out and then cue their parents eye-rolling the hell out of their eyes because they actually were fans. Yeah, no. Look at it this way, at least a whole generation is being introduced [...]]]> text/html 2011-07-20T15:10:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3614266/fade-into-darkness/


This track is pretty relevant to me in several ways right now. Firstly because my ridiculously busy schedule has meant that I've let this blog 'Fade into Darkness' recently (Did you see the link?!) and secondly, on the lead up to Brighton Pride next month I've been searching for that summer time anthem to drop into the peak of my set for weeks. Well, its become clear to me today that that search is over. 'Fade Into Darkness' is a remake of Avicii's earlier released beaut of track, 'Penguin' which has [...]]]> text/html 2011-06-22T01:28:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3539315/ear-candy-mp3-memoryhouse-modern-normal/

The well-above-average mashup artist 5 & A Dime marked this week with this latest full-length release, Ear Candy , dropped on the 19th but much more appropriate to get your Friday night going. Plenty of folks out there today give the mashup thing a go, and plenty do it well, but Dime throws in a complexity and variety that's to be appreciated, and also to be raged to. No full stream of the tape currently available, but taste the few below and download the beautiful mess at the link...

So 5 and A Dime does not miss. Ever. When he sent us this mixtape earlier this week it was so hard not to post it right away. Due to some technical issues with Hulkshare, we had to delay sharing it with you all. At long last, here it is - Ear Candy. Top to bottom this thing BUMPS. It's one of those mashup mixtapes you can toss on at a party and let it play all the way through without worrying if people will be able to rock out. They will. Turn it on. Turn it up.

Well I had the opportunity to listen to this album last night as 5 & A Dime sent it over my way. Now I can relay it on to you. Just know that if your a mashup fan, you'd be all types of dumb to not download this. If you choose to let it play all the way through, it does, but you have the option to do them individually too. Seriously, dopeness. Don't hesitate. Enjoy. Download: 5 & A Dime - [...]]]>
