Kansas City uke musician Elsa Rae recently was featured as the SoundClouder of the day, which is where we first heard of this excellent track 'Don't Move to Minnesota'. A forgotten e-mail to myself and several days later I rediscovered the message wrapped into today's featured song, and loved it all over again. We don't currently have too much information on her, aside from her affinity for tiny instruments, all of which are named that she used for recording (e.g. Vincent the Ukulele, Mozart the Toy Piano, Sebastian F. Schwartz the Kazoo). Her album 'Plays Tiny [...]
Today, too stressed by midterms to study and too excited about Halloween to care about much of anything else, I put on my fuzziest sweater-and-corduroy combo, bought a pumpkin spice latte, parked myself at my favorite table in the library that looks out on my favorite panoramic view of the Potomac River, and snuggled down for some nostalgic, autumnal tunes. Somewhat of a romantic, I have a whole playlist dedicated to very specific moods like this one, but today I was content to sit back and let the enigmatic hush-pop maker Elsa do all the work. The Toronto [...]
There has been a transition in my listening habits. While I could listen to Drake all day (have you guys listened to Hot 97 lately?), I have been in search of something, well, something a little more 'fall' like. Elsa has been filling that void. Simple, stripped down, and melodic. Exactly what I was looking for in between my heavily saturated Drizzy and Kelly Rowland listening sprees. This Toronto based trio have just released their debut EP (1) on Toronto tape label NotUnlike . Check out their [...]
Here are three more bands to consider exploring this summer weekend: Ian Byington For those who like: Nick Drake An American, Byington splits his time between BC and Friday Harbor, WA (awesome place name). His pastoral folk is incredibly calming. He'll be touring eastern Canada in the near future. Ian Byington's website 2Cellos For those who like: wacky cover songs Cello renditions of
Firs single from London Elektricity's new album "Yikes". This track reflect the rest of the album as Tony Colman a.k.a. London Elektricty produced his finest work to date. The entire LP is less dancefloor friendly but worked extremely well as a whole album. This album is a must for fans of the thinking drum'n'bass. Buy it now at Hospital Shop .

Por: Queque . Muchas cosas se han dicho ya sobre Interpol y todas ellas deberían ser buenas. Son talentosos, las letras de las canciones bien podrían pasar por poemas altamente llegadores y no se puede pasar por alto la hermosa y seductora voz de Paul Banks. Actualmente ha habido rumores de que vendrán y no para un festival, sino como realmente merecen ser vistos: en un recinto, alejados de otras bandas, donde toda la atención se centre en ellos. La que escribe esto – pobre muchachilla ingenua - nunca ha tenido la oportunidad de verlos así. Ni [...]
Remember when you first heard Coeur de Pirate, maybe on this blog? Like me, you were probably blown away. That voice, that song, those tattoos. Ever since you, like me, tried to relive that experience. Find another fragile, French-singing girl with superbe songs to refresh you in places you'd never imagine could be refresh. Montreal-based singer Melanie Scala, aka Porcelaine , has the ability. Her 5 track EP is not as brilliant as CdP's album, some songs need more character, but boyohboy what a gorgeous track is Mirage. Reminds me of Elsa ( this one ), of a young Vanessa [...]
Here's finally the official music video for Elsa's smashing single 'Girl In The Game' from the upcoming album "Stickup!" that will drop the 22nd this month. Download the single over here .
If u ask someone out of Sweden to name a female Swedish rapper they probably look back at ya with a big question mark written all over their face, then they tilt their head and say Mapei or perhaps reminisces the good old 'Buffalo Stance' from Neneh Cherry or if we are really really really lucky, the name Peshi could jump out of someone's mouth. So u'all can guess that I creamed in my lil' panties when I got this track from the new Swedish 20 year old rapper Elsa? Cuz I sure did. [...]

Circo Volador / 17-Feb-09 Por Elsa Foto de Ingrid Dreissig, quien vino desde Venezuela! Cuando llegué, justo a las 7:30 –hora que indicaba el boleto- todavía no se había llenado el lugar, así que se podía deducir que sólo era una manera de decir indirectamente que a esa hora sería ideal que ya fueran llegando todos. El circo volador tenía un público bastante ecléctico, desde darketos esforzados en su vestiementa (vestidos de terciopelo con un [...]

3 – Mar- 09 Por Elsa Foto por Krudo. Es del MxBeat, lo sé. Pero es que le quedó tan bonita. Cut Copy es uno de esos grupos que me ha llegado a gustar de una manera que, podría decirse, cae en la empatía. El uso correcto de sonidos, tonalidades, el manejo del volumen (que creo que es importante en la música electrónica ([en este caso, "electropop"], al igual que los tiempos y los sonidos a utilizar [para que [...]

Concierto Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. 6 / Nov / 08 Por Elsa Te sienta bien el sol, te sienta bien ser cool, te sienta bien el mal, te sienta bien ser Dios, te sienta bien mentir y decir que te fuiste yendo de nuestro lugar. Martes 3 de abril del año 2000. Esa es la fecha que marca el boleto del primer concierto al que fui, tenía yo 12 años (aún). Mi señor padre me había llevado y todo es un recuerdo infantil bastante grato, que [...]

Por Elsa Creo que algo que caracteriza muy bien a los Kaiser Chiefs son sus coritos pegajosos y esa sensación de querer salir un sábado por la noche (sí, como su canción Saturday night , duh). Pero también creo que no podría describir con estas palabras su nuevo álbum Off with their heads . Me explico: En el disco ahora encontramos más sonidos electrónicos (whatever it means), pero las guitarras y batería siguen, si bien pegando (y recio), ya no es con la misma sabrosura de sus trabajos pasados. [...]

Por Elsa López Foto Original de Tacvbo Medias de red, sombreros de copa brillantes, zapatos de tacón casi obscenos y mucha diversión. Comúnmente son palabras que describirían un cabaret, pero creo que estas palabras también describen bien la nueva producción solista de Amanda Palmer. Ella, como algunos han de saber, es la parte femenina del grupo The Dresden Dolls y ahora, queriendo hacer algo 'totalmente' independiente, ha sacado este disco titulado Who Killed Amanda Palmer? Fuck, [...]
