Big Cosmos | El Palo Alto Big Cosmos have cracked it. After a 90-seconds of pretty synths, meditative percussion and drawn-out vocals, they bring in a chorus that simply sweeps you off your feet. They make it sound so damn easy they should expect a million-and-one bands begging them for the secret. But there isn't one, of course. You either have it or you don't; and Big Cosmos have it in spades. El Palo Alto is the track. It's the bands delightful [...]
New Found Land aka Anna Roxenholt just released her third self titled album last month. Her beautiful tunes have been compared with those of other Swedish artists like Lykke Li and Little Dragon and highly acclaimed artists such as Depeche... READ MORE
I'm spending today catching up on music, and I came across an email I received on Christmas (yes, I am embarrassingly late on this) from Brighton-based producer El. Train . His Emotions EP is multi-faceted, all while keeping the focus on dance. Preview the tracks below, and then grab a free download via his bandcamp . But wait, there's more. He's set to release a free EP on the 25th of every month in 2013, and his January installment, Frozen is out now, snag it here .
A Long Way To Fall is Ulrich Schnauss' first solo release in six years and marks the artist's return to expansive, narrative-driven soundscapes. But unlike his electronic efforts from the ’90s, which tried to "interpret ... read more

After a brief musical introduction to the sound-bending artist Dan Deacon, a few words may come to mind. "Different", perhaps. "Cacophonous", if you're an English major or something. "Fun". "Unique". At first listen, Deacon's rising and falling melodies, the electronic ... Continued
I don't exactly recall when I first heard the name Nshona. What I do remember is realizing that a string of very potent Ghanaian azonto jams were produced by the same team, which I knew ... read more
What to do with a song that is too long to be a stand-alone single (8mins 41secs) but is so obviously deserving of a far greater audience than just those involved in the band? Easy, get an award winning company (BDH; Frozen Planet , Wonders Of The Universe ) to make a quite stunning short film based around the song, give the whole thing it's own website and invite anyone and everyone to remix/re-work said track. That's what The Naturals have done today anyway, with the launch of ivebecomeeverything.com . The site hosts the [...]
![[Photos] ELS Crew Creates MCA Tribute Mural In NYC](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4257901_lg.jpg)
Entree Lifestyle took to the streets of Maywood Brooklyn and put together a dope tribute mural for MCA of The Beastie Boys. The mural features MCA's name and the word "Gratitude", which is also the name of a song on the Beastie Boys' 3rd LP, Check Your Head . Below you can read what ELS had to say about the piece, and hit their blog for more pics. via ELS: May 7th 2012, the rain let up in Brooklyn for just enough time to let us pay homage to an [...]
Photo Credit : Rachael Renee' Levassear. "Michael The Blind is Michael Levasseur , a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist living in Portland, Oregon. Think Leonard Cohen , but not so low. Elliott Smith , but not so high. Suzanne Vega , but not so female. John Fahey when acoustic, Paul Westerberg when electric. A lyrical style that is both e.e. cummings and Mother Goose" . The urgency of Michael Levasseur`s perfectly judged chord charges are gently highlighted by those [...]
With so many other old-school music eras being repeatedly tapped into to color recordings these days, the idea of "neo-Latin soul" being a thing that becomes omnipresent in 2012 sure sounds welcoming, especially if it promises to dish out more gems like Rene Lopez ' "Shing-a-ling Is What I Bring". Stripped from the singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist's 2011 release E.L.S. ("Electric Latin Soul"), "Bring" plants the listener smack-dab in the middle of a Nuyorican barrio party where the infectious merriment of bongos, trombones and trumpets and the good-times [...]
It seems the word you hear the most in Accra is no longer "akwaaba" or even "chale", but "azonto". The azonto dance has taken Ghana by storm, and although everybody seems to know the dance ... read more
What better way to round out the holiday season and kick off the new year than to launch Kick Kick Snare's first mixtape of 2012. Yes, it's that bloody good time of the month. And just because I said that with a British accent doesn't mean we're crass or putting on airs...for it really is an awesome time for me every month to see the handpicked collection of songs selected by our four writers in four different cities. I always love seeing the variety between Kent, Wes, Ed and me. For the five months or so [...]
Tweetvaso link exlovers have been on our radar since April, when we talked about their debut single, “Blowing Kisses.” The London five-piece is back in our ears with a new single (although they never really seemed to leave in the interim) from their upcoming debut full-length album, Moth, which is set for release in the...
![B.E.T.A. [Benny ELs x T. Agency] – Ego & Id [Free Album]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3381049_lg.jpg)
Benny ELs has been delivering statements of euphoria for several years, but on this collaborative project, producer T. Agency really steps to the forefront as an incredibly overlooked talent. Ego & Id is seperated into two sections, with one being optimistic and carefree, and the other being dark and ominous. I personally prefer the former from ELs and T. Agency, and hope they stick to more relaxing jams like " Make It Last " or robust bangers like the opening "Ego." Feel free to download B.E.T.A.'s latest project free of charge and listen [...]
![B.E.T.A. [Benny ELs x T. Agency] – Make It Last ft Micah](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3295364_lg.jpg)
Benny ELs and producer T. Agency linked up to drop some heat on the first single from their upcoming Ego & Id project. “Make It Last” plays off a transient instrumental which is the proper canvas for Benny to paint a portrait with his slick flow. Micah should also be commended for delivering an extremely catchy hook. Here’s some more info on Ego & Id B.E.T.A. represents the combined forces of Benny ELs (vocalist) and t. agency (producer). Their music transcends the common labels [...]
