[ via ] On Portals newest feature section, "PORTALswap", the London/San Francisco project, Joseph Stallion was showcased. The band consists of two, Max Petrek and his female vocalist, Erin Ross. They teamed up with Montreal's Seapoint to fabricate an atmospheric bass churner that hits incredibly deep in all fields. 'Made Like This' lays down a set of noisy embedded samples while synths hover over it to enlighten the ever so captivating vocals of both Max and Erin. There's a sense of spatial ambiance that Seapoint brings to the track [...]

Fanfarlo hooks up with the entertaining weirdos of Yeasayer for this official remix of "Shiny Things". This definitely sounds more like a song from the ladder now. Fanfarlo - Shiny Things (Yeasayer Remix) by OffTheRadarMusic

Don't know how I missed this one. Jack Peñate's 2nd album was one of my faves of 2009. His big pop dance tracks were hard not to notice. Then perhaps about a week ago, Jack dropped a new track, all recorded in one shot. Called No One Lied Jack actually put a vid out on [...]

In what might win the award for longest title line of the year, we introduce you guys to 21 year old Maverick Sabre . Sabre has been compared to pretty much every UK artist, male or female since he come on the scene. We've read comparisons from Plan B, Daniel Merriweather, to Amy Winehouse and Adele. We're not saying these comparisons are wrong, but let the kid live. Check out his BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge cover of Lana Del Rey's Video Games and Emile Sande's Heaven. [ Via ] [...]

These dudes are just 17, yet judging from their promo pic above, they already have that matured swagger. Possessing a name like Casablanca , is a real gamble for any band. As the same name of what many people consider the greatest film ever made, the band better have the music to back it up. Luckily, these Londoners sure do. Their brand new jam "I Need To Know" is an airy indie rock concoction, that fills the sky with baritone vocals and an undeniable confidence. Everything is just pitch-perfect tight here, that there [...]

Tweet Recent years have seen two trends take over pop music, and, consequently, the charts: electronic music and female vocals, oftentimes together. 2010 saw the UK introduce, among many others, obviously, two young faces that were great exponents of the cross between electronics and female vocals: Marina and the Diamonds and Ellie Goulding . Now, there's a new bright young face to introduce: Foxes . Foxes , born Louisa Rose [...]

There are bands that go well with a drink, and then there are bands that turn even the lightest drinker into a nonstop, unapologetic booze machine. To have two bands of the latter kind on the same bill is kinda genius and also kinda dangerous. Our livers were quivering in fear when we set off for this one. Six things we learned when Thin Lizzy and Clutch played in London 1) Clutch seem stronger than [...]

Letter B is Beth Jeans Houghton 's latest project... Outside it feels like even a penguin would catch a chill, but inside the Garage the temperature is rising from the early arrivals to HMV's Next Big Thing gig at one of London's best-loved venues. Downstairs Reckless Love are no doubt giving the city's rock contingent a bloody good seeing to, but upstairs it's time for the indie fans to witness some of the finest new music on offer in 2012. Opening this Thursday night showcase are the London indie-folk [...]

Four Tet : Official | Facebook Four Tet's "Love Cry" is just one of those songs that you can listen to on repeat for almost for ever. For me it was the opening drum pattern and just the swing that make me bob and sway my head that won me over. When the lyrics "Love Cry" drop in you just feel that rush of sonic warmth and you just can't help but smile. I have yet to experience a Four Tet Live or DJ set and am really looking forward to just vibing [...]

Some indie-jingly-pop-jangly from London's Veronica Falls, although with the attached attraction of a substantially slow-swirling Wurlitzer-whirling guitar refrain, which actually possesses some really interesting harmonic movement. They've dropped the tempestuous misery of their self-titled debut album, in favour of much more upbeat lyrical content to match the twinkle-dance musicality. It makes me feel sunny on this frosty February morn and it should make you feel the same! Wave goodbye, off they go on tour today . 'My Heart Beats' was literally recorded last week "on a freezing boat on the river [...]
