UK supergroup Apparatjik (which features members from Coldplay, a-ha, and Mew) took a novel approach to the release of their sophomore LP, Square Peg In A Round Hole . Back in November, the band released an initial version of the 12-track album, with the intent of subsequently releasing 10 weekly crowd-produced "drafts" of the record, featuring new edits and musical tweaks. The final "draft" would then become the official album, reflecting each version's best qualities/cuts, to be released later this month. In the lead up to the final album's debut, the four-piece is sharing the newest rework of [...]
Filed under: News , New Music Andreas Meichsner The supergroup collective known as Apparatjik has always done things its own way. They released their second album, 'Square Peg in a Round Hole,' to the public after spearheading an initiative to plant 1,000 trees around the world. The members -- Magne Furuholmen ( A-Ha ), Guy Berryman ( Coldplay ), Jonas Bjerre ( MEW ) and producer Martin Terefe -- apply this ethos of a worldwide community [...]
![[Introducing] – The Sayitaints](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4029861_lg.jpg)
Tweet I can tell you virtually nothing about The Sayitaints . There are two of them: John Gudenzi and Marc Nieto. They have one track out: "Flutter" . They're from Baltimore? They like to pump 808s. From here on out, it's just my opinion. To be perfectly honest, you're almost as well just skipping this bit and listening to the track for yourself. But let it never be said that I don't like the sound of my own voice, so [...]
MEW: Comforting Sounds (Do I Look Puerto Rican?) (Demo)
![[Throwback] Mew – Am I Wry? No.](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3971138_lg.jpg)
We spend a lot of time listening to music to bring you guys the latest and greatest. Sometimes that gets a little tiring, and it's nice to go to back to our personal playlists and jam something we truly love. While this song is a little older for what we typically post, it's one of my all time favorites. "Am I wry? No" from the Danish Indie band Mew , is originally from the album Half the World is Watching Me . You can also find it on Frengers , as well as the compilation CD [...]

Birdy 's debut album is a delightful collection of songs beautifully interpreted by a voice and talent beyond her years. However, one of my favorite tracks are not even on the standard version. Hidden away as a bonus gem on the deluxe edition is a peculiar choice of cover, Mew 's 8-minute arena-rock epic "Comforting Sounds" . At first I was quite curious and a little worried upon seeing its inclusion on the tracklist, and fortunately, Jasmine's version does not disappoint. It's a bold move to not only keep the original length, but also play up the scale [...]
Judging from this interview, Mariah doesn't seem too happy with the marriage considering what she said about trust and Nick's mood swings. But, the babies look so cute and she looks like she is back in form! Roc & Roe! Filed under: Beats , Clip , Yankee Panky Tagged: album , cannon , carey , mariah , mew , nick , single

Russian Red: [ AM I WRY? NO ] I know this Angelic woman, who has in the past been an inspiration. She's the voice of reason. I appreciate her greatly.

When Danish DJ Trentemøller returns stateside this October for a slew of tour dates , he'll do so not only to entertain throngs of dance lovers, but also to generate hype for his latest effort, a double CD of remixes and reworkings called, conveniently enough, Reworked/Remixed . Featuring the artist's favorite remixes in addition to Trentemøller songs reimagined by artists, expect cameos from UNKLE, I Blame Coco, Depeche Mode, Modeselektor with Thom Yorke, Efterklang, Mew, Kasper Bjørke, and many more. For a taste of what to expect, stream Trentemøller's remix of Efterklang's "Raincoats" and Efterklang's remix [...]

What were you doing when you were 14 years old? Hoping to make a Junior Varsity sports team? Wishing you could skip forward two years so you could be an upperclassman instead of a freshman in high school? Day dreaming about your crush? Personally, I was a shy 9th grader with glasses and the most ridiculous poof of hair (think prior to the mainstream of flat irons). Every time someone met me for the first time, they said "Oh! Like Meera Meera on the wall?" The best part was that they thought they were the first person to [...]
Artist: Foster The People Album: Torches Genre: Medicinal Synth This is the first and only album thus far from the LA based band "Foster The People". They formed in 2009 but just released their first album a few months ago. The album has done pretty well for itself, especially for a debut album, but I'm [...]
A mashup which serves itself well enough as a remix in its own right. Take Eskmo's remx of Mew's 'Vaccine' and James Blake's 'To Care (Like You)' and add some dubstep hot sauce and you've got Berlin-based Soulmind's delish edit. Download: Eskmo feat. James Blake - To Care (Like You) (Soulmind Edit) by Soulmind Here's Eskmo's original remix: Download: MEW - Vaccine - (Eskmo bootleg)(2009) by Eskmo

The Malpractice , som jeg tidligere har haft i fokus , er nu klar med en musikvideo til Oh, The Irony. Den illustrerer med al tydelighed, at barnlig uskyldighed eksisterer side om side med ondskab..eller er det nysgerrighed? The Malpractice | Facebook The Malpractice | Myspace

So after all I've ended up coming to terms with not going to NYC Popfest . Next in line is accepting that I won't be going to Indietracks either. Although the Indietracks line-up doesn't make me drool the way it's done previous years , there will still be plenty of interesting artists performing; and probably a few gems to unearth as well. Among the unknown acts to me (prior to checking the line-up) is Papa Topo , which is described [...]

Frontmanden i The Malpractice er Johannes Gammelby, kendt fra Beta Satan og I Am Bones, hvor han også slår sine folder. Debutalbummet fra The Malpractice, Tectonics udkom oktober sidste år, men først fornylig fik jeg lejlighed til at dykke ned i det for alvor. Det er en plade, der stikker i flere retninger, men overordnet bevæger den sig mellem en udtalt poppet side og en mere energisk, rocket side. Begge dele fungerer, primært fordi det vokale udtryk skifter karakter, efter hvilken stil gruppen går efter. Den poppede vokal er lysere og mere følsom, og [...]

В гостях у Big Echo новое имя, молодой человек из Канады, чьи дебютные записи стоят в одном ряду с Teen Daze и Sun Glitters. Скоро мы услышим его первый серьёзный релиз, а пока – несколько любимых вещей, повлиявших на него как на музыканта, снабжённые интересными историями. Это свой чувак, который слушает хорошую музыку, переживает и делает из этого выводы. Итак, сегодня у нас двенадцать песен от Simon Bridgefoot из The Parish of Little Clifton: 1. Lovers Carvings by Bibio Прослушивание Ambivalence Avenue было [...]
There is no doubt that Scandinavian artists are currently at the forefront of the electronic and indie music scenes. The Knife, Bjork, Röyksopp and countless other major artists, musicians and djs have risen from the nordic states. In between these impressive names Denmark may appear to be a little out of step with its neighbours [...]
