Tweet Listen to Burial 's new EP "Kindred" below, including new tracks "Ashtray Wasp" and "Loner" . Back in December the London-based label Hyperdub announced that they'd be releasing a brand new Burial three-track EP called "Kindred" , though there was no official date given for the release. This weekend the EP was released as a six-track EP [...]

I don't think we really need to state how much we love Dilla's music here. We're also big fans of Chief's label Feelin' Music so we were obviously pretty interested when they released Do The

by teepoo Here's a new one from Said the Whale ! Their new album is set to release March 6th and I can't wait!

by teepoo Japanese-Canadian Ohama aka Tona Walt Ohama sounds like he's stuck in the 80s with this crazily addictive synth-pop. The dude is from Rainer, Alberta. Perhaps when he was bored of the flat prairies he bought a synth and started experimenting. He even makes fun of it sort of in Where Do You Call Home with the line " I live on a potato farm" that kicks it off. It's almost like spoken word over some loveable beats. Ohama- Where Do You [...]

by teepoo On March 6th Paper Beat Scissors will release their self-titled debut album. It's an album that flourishes with Tim Crabtree's haunting voice. Here's a sneak peak with the track Rest Your Bones . The song is pretty bare compared to the rest of the album but the delicate emotions still pretend themselves in an album about endingss and new beginnings. Paper Beat Scissors- Rest Your Bones

Tweet It's been over two years since Beach House graced us with a new record. And while some simply wait anxiously for the successor to "Teen Dream" , I've found myself fully immersed in an EP over the past few weeks that's helping me through. The EP in question is a self-titled debut work by Granit , a female duo from my dad's native Barcelona. Cristina Checa and [...]

Tweet Listen to "Island Girl" , a new song by New York band The Virgins . Back in high school I would stay up till ungodly hours, partly because of my lack of organization, partly because of the crazy workload I had and partly because I couldn't help but stray from my academic duties to instead researching music, something I've always loved to do. It was in one of these late night hunts that I stumbled across New [...]

This nice little number has been hiding from the world since 2004 when Spacek and Raphael Saadiq hooked up to make an album together. The album was never finished though so this track never saw

On the self-titled David Loris & Co. , Rome's David Loris shares simple yet evocative songs that recall the rhythmic foundation of traditional folk, the lush, acoustic orchestration of The Beatles, and the gentle touch of Elliott Smith. Between acoustic guitars and distinctive mandolin, Loris (and co.) produce light, rhythmic, and sugar sweet songs that fall somewhere between indie pop and folk. The sprightly, accentuated instrumentation makes the music all the more appealing and effective. It's soothing, energetic, playful, and charming acoustic folk-based pop that makes even the darkest of days open for a bit of sunshine. [...]

Tweet If you know Dr. Dog at all, then you know they've made a career of turning lo-fi musings and blatant stylistic influences into coherent, upbeat, psychedelic-throwback pop songs. "Be The Void" is no exception, except that it's also quite different from other Dr. Dog albums. The band decided to take a different approach to this album: they structured their recording process around their live shows. Instead of endlessly fussing about in the studio, they captured the [...]

Tweet "Django Django" is an album of two halfs. The opening seven tracks are a mad art-pop romp, absolutely living up to the hype that surrounded Django Django on the release of their debut single "Storm/Love's Dart" back in 2009. Come the last six tracks, though, Django Django seem to be completely out of ideas, reviving their first single and rehashing the same sounds with far less enthusiasm and imagination. [...]

Tweet Listen to the Jacques Lu Cont 's remix of Miike Snow 's song "Paddling Out" , from their upcoming album "Happy To You" . So far there's been nary a bad word said about Miike Snow 's upcoming second album "Happy To You" , and the same goes for the remixes we've heard of the new tracks too. This time around it's the legendary Jacques [...]

Tweet vaso link Despite the mixed reviews in response to their new album, Paralytic Stalks , of Montreal took to the Jimmy Fallon stage and cranked out a nice version of the most accessible track from the album, "Dour Percentage." I'm still not sold on all of the band's output, but I do like this track. And Kevin Barnes looks about as normal as I've ever seen him. Paralytic Stalks is out now through the folks at [...]

Tweet I don't make it a habit of actively seeking out acoustic pop music. I wouldn't even consider it to be one of my top three favorite genres. I find most of it to be either too lazy to listen to, or too opinionated for me to enjoy. Still, I somehow end up finding some diamonds in the rough. These usually end up being the longest lasting albums in my musical rotation. Long after the dance pop and new wave numbers have lost their flavor, artists like [...]

Tweet Last Autumn Sharon Van Etten visited La Blogothque in Paris to perform a stripped-down, intimate set for a select few people in an apartment, where others like Bon Iver played in when he visited them back in 2009 . She performed four songs including "Give Out" and "All I Can" from her stunning new album "Tramp" , and "One Day" and "Love More" from [...]

Hace algun tiempo no tan lejano (semanas) les llegue a poner un video que aparecio de uno de los mas recientes tracks que Twin-Gemz habia posteado en su soundcloud el cual llevaba por nombre " Car Windows ". Ahora, vengo a compartirles uno de los mas recientes cortes que han colgado a manera de demos y a mi parecer, si juntamos todos los tracks que hemos estado checando de este proyecto de Brooklyn creo que ya podriamos armar facilmente su primer EP pero claro, para esto habra que esperar un poco mas ya que aunque han estado soltando [...]

Tweet vaso link Wild Nothing has a lot to live up to in 2012. At least for me, personally. Jack Tatum's debut full-length Gemini was my Album of the Year in 2010, and 20112s Golden Haze EP added another dimension to a blossoming career. We're two months into the new year and we've already received a tease of what Tatum has up his sleeve. The Nowhere 7" is slated for a February 21 drop date and contains two solid numbers that [...]
