Graham Parker, the Civil Wars, and more let the Jackson 5 classic back in your heart.
New Zealand's Glass Vaults absolutely floored us in 2010 and a year later in 2011 with a pair of excellent freely released EPs, Glass and Into Clear , respectively. They've been quiet for a couple of years but recently came back with a complete stunner of a track called "Ancient Gates" that takes their brand of ebullient art rock to epic new levels. You don't want to miss this one: As much as the true definition might suggest, I'm not sold on the [...]
I had a preconceived notion of Cam Meekins 's music. Just yesterday I probably thought the same things you are thinking right now, and at first listen I thought this song did not really change my opinion of him. It sounds too clean, too good, too poppy, etc. Ugh. I could feel myself making lame excuses not to like this track. Cam Meekins is my age. He’s rapping about things that I go through. It sounds good because, not only has he improved as a rapper-especially in delivery-since I last listened to him (admittedly not [...]
We have two firsts this month on our Staff Picks: Artists of the Month , yall. The first first: we have a female on the list. Personally, I don't think this means that there aren't good female artists out there. Rather, I think it's a reflection of the fact that it's harder to distinguish oneself as a female artist. Lots of their voices sound the same; they don't tend to have as much differentiation in range as men can. There are certainly female artists out there bending the norm, but it doesn't seem to be [...]
It all started with Carol Marvin , Pop Culture Media, and the need to expose Detroit's overlooked history of electronic music. Marvin partnered with Dave Cooper and Kurt Martin in 1994 to create The World Party , A Memorial Day weekend festival featuring a long list of artists, some new, some unknown, some of which included Carl Cox , Derrick May , Kevin Saunderson , and Richie Hawtin . Unfortunately, due to poor production set up and sweltering heat, attendance was low, causing The World Party and the city to [...]
Face Off features two tracks, both unknown and unheard by myself. Did I mention these tracks are selected specifically because they encompass genres that I am ignorant of, or generally avoid? Well, there’s that too. Oh, and they are from the Hype Machine charts, so apparently they are fairly popular. Face Off is meant to be a fun interlude in the seriousness of music blogging…if blogging can be called serious, which it cannot. I tackle songs I would never give a second thought, or delve into genres where I’d be better off sticking my [...]
After months of teasing, Johnny Jewel's record label, Italians Do It Better, has finally released the soundtrack to your next dozen midnight drives, After Dark 2 . A compilation worth waiting for, a rare beast in today's playlist-heavy social media landscape, After Dark 2 comes six years behind the seminal After Dark ( free download ), and is packed with new music from bands steered by visionary producer Johnny Jewel , including Chromatics , Glass Candy , Desire and others. It's out on iTunes now. Check [...]
by DREW MALMUTH On Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers , Matt Berninger said that “if she knows you're paper, she'll know she has to burn you.” His lyrics are filled with sentiments that can't be ascribed to Berninger himself, yet, in light of how The National has progressed over the last decade, this line feels distinctly personal. It neatly expresses the deep insecurity that comes with showing someone what kind of person you are. Throughout their early output, The National seemingly struggled to play the exact music that they wanted to play, caught [...]

Starting off the day Fearless Vampire Killers open the Rocksound stage to a growing crowd. Their pop punk horror show (including a surprise cover of Elton Johns ' I'm Still Standing ') entertains and supply's an impressive laid back welcome to the festival Next up Max Raptor play for the second year in a row with their straight up british style punk rock that sees the day's first mosh pits as they howl their way through ' Obey the whips '. Let's hope they make it to a third year in a row. [...]
Not too long ago, electronica collective Jalebee Cartel officially announced that they were moving on to greener pastures (read the story here ) and one of the members, G "Force" Arjun was already deep into his own side-project by this point. You might assume that he went back to making thrash metal or perhaps he's moved on to a solo career, but his latest venture is a bit more interesting than all of that. G Arjun is one of the founders of SuperSike Games and recently the company launched their first title on iOS and it's called [...]
Thank Gob , it's Friday! Also, one year ago, today, Donna Summer , the Queen of Disco, passed away. So, in her honor, I've put together an 8-song playlist of Disco tunes for you folks. Press play and dance the night away... maybe go rollerskating and get a permanent.
Thank Gob , it's Friday! Also, one year ago, today, Donna Summer , the Queen of Disco, passed away. So, in her honor, I've put together an 8-song playlist of disco tunes for you folks. Press play and dance the night away... maybe go rollerskating and get a permanent, do that dance everyone boy and girl associated with disco where it looks you are taking apples out of a side satchel and placing them back on a tree with just your pointer finger. Either way, enjoy the music.
With so much good music steadily coming through, it's easy to miss out on some of the best. To help prevent this, we've picked some of our favorite tracks from the week. Here are the songs you can't afford to skip.

Tracklist after the jump . Get it on iTunes . Physical copies apparently " on the way ..." Italians Do It Better on the slight discrepancy between the tracklist that's been floating around and the final tracklist: "NIGHT SHIFT & JOHANNA WILL COME OUT EVENTUALLY. AND THE GLASS CANDY SONGS WILL BE ON "BODY WORK". JOHNNY HAD 27 TRACKS MIXED & MASTERED FOR AFTER DARK 2. BUT THESE 15 WERE WHAT HE SAID ..."COMPLETED THE ETIRE VISION OF THE RECORD"... FOR EXAMPLE, "CHERRY" & "LOOKING FOR LOVE" WERE BOTH RECORDED & MIXED BEFORE [...]
The Indiecision Five at 5 is our attempt at sharing our musical tastes with you, and showcasing music from around the world. Each weekday at 5pm sharp, one NH7 writer or staffer will bring you five songs he/she is listening to on the day. Your Friday playlist comes from the resident demon of darkness, Nikhil Udupa. 1. Tesseract - 'Altered State' Tesseract put out their much anticipated sophomore album - Altered State . It's an album that cannot be judged or commented upon after only one listen. I wasn't impressed [...]
When I was about 13, I wasn’t particularly into music (at least not in the way that I am now). Almost all of the music that constituted my world was the Smashing Pumpkins and despite the fact that it sounded great, I didn’t really understand the rage. Enter FM radio stations. The radio, before the internet, showed me why this music mattered. I heard about Elvis and Buddy Holly and the rebellious nature of rock ‘n roll. I began to understand how musical eras progressed and the artists that made this progression happen. I gained a perspective about the music [...]
Pegulat-pegulat asal Bandung yang menamakan diri mereka Muchos Libre ini, baru saja mengeluarkan EP terbarunya bertajuk "Viva La Libre". Mengusung unsur Surf-rock dalam tatanan musikalitas mereka, Dilla Bagongtempur (Vocal), Dally Korongmentah (Vocal), Adie Emo (Bass), Nos Cikiwiw (Guitar), Iky Kunjay (Guitar), dan Hilman Hakimimassa (Drum) siap menghantam kuping pendengar. Seperti yang dikutip dari data profil band ini "Di atas panggung band ini tidak terkontrol, liar, berenerji binatang, ending gulat, dan tidak hati-hati untuk menggenggam mic dengan baik. Pembicaraan yang seenaknya, terbutakan oleh senang-senang di atas panggung, ketidak skillan makmur, ketelanjangan dada, susu rayud dan kemolekan perut bersingkayo juga kesuburan garing [...]
Vi følger den elektroniske musikgenre footwork tæt her på Regnsky og har flere gange påpeget dens innovative kraft. For få dage siden udgav footwork-legenden RP Boo sin debutplade. Jeg kigger tilbage på hans tidligere arbejder og påviser en hidtil overset, men tæt relation mellem footwork og genren musique concrète , der blomstrede frem i Frankrig i 1940erne. Der er godt gang i footwork-udgivelser for tiden. Det er blot få måneder siden, at DJ Rashad udgav sin fantastiske Rollin’ EP , som figurerede på [...]
