"You're too perfect to be true" the inscrutable vocalist strung up in Ang Low croons on début release, Life Goes Down and really rather appositely, the song itself truly claws at a nigh on unfeasible perfection. Bursting with emotive synths, becoming presets and adolescent promises concerning the swift dismissal of promiscuity ("There will never be another like you, baby/ You will never have to worry about my heart", etc.), first songs from newly fabricated bands really shouldn't sound this consummate – months of musical refinement and line up reconfigurations should have to prelude things of such intimate brilliance. An [...]
Sigur Rós: Kveikur - Today marks the US release of Sigur Rós’s seventh album, ‘Kveikur’, and for that reason alone it is a good day. Lately, whenever I see that one of my favorite bands has released a new album or single, I’ve been left feeling unfulfilled by the actual product, unimpressed by the new stuff. I’m happy to say that ‘Kveikur’ has relieved me of the notion that at some point all artists plateau, at least for now. It’s always a pleasure to hear something that is not solely akin to prior work but also pushes the [...]
For those of you salivating for M.I.A. to followup 20102s ungooglable album /\/\ /\ Y /\ (Maya), need only wait another short few months, but to tide you over until then she's released the first cut from the album. Matangi will see the light of day this Autumn via her own label N.E.E.T. along with Interscope. Yesterday on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio One show she premiered "Bring The Noize" , a track that initially appeared on a mix that she [...]

Numbers , who don't seem to have put a foot wrong since, well, ever, have just released a two-track 123 single from one of their more recent signings, Sophie . Fitting in nicely with the label's brand of off-kilter house music, Sophie's 'Bipp' / 'Elle' is absolutely perfect for this delicate bout of good weather we're enjoying. 'Bipp' is an upbeat, glitchy electro number with some fun pitched up vocals and bouncy percussion. The b-side, 'Elle', is a more downbeat number with polished synths that glide freely over a rhythm section that, at [...]
Connaissez-vous Mark Dobson aka Ambassadeurs ? Cet anglais est une valeur sur de la scène electro/trip-hop européenne. Il nous le démontre une nouvelle fois avec son dernier titre Ignite . Ca tourne en boucle chez PQTEM ! Posté par Nicolas Poço, Suivre @NicolasRstfr
To a not insubstantial extent, Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam has been victimised by her own successes: following on from the conscientiously controversial, if sonically revitalising début Arular , she went on to smoothen the loveably roughened edges for follow-up effort, Kala . Then, riding high on Paper Planes, I always harboured this fear that she may then compromise on her disinclination toward the cult of celebrity, and indeed I felt she did somewhat with the grossly overproduced, and typographically cumbersome /\/\ /\ Y /\ . But for all the pseudo-provocative visual promo and that ostensibly groundbreaking GRAMMYs performance, her [...]
"Bring me three poison arrows/ Long, straight and narrow" enigmatic Californian desert denizen Life Leone snarls on his suitably intoxicating début number Is This Love, Go With The Flow keys wrestling with clunky guitars and a chorus a moustachioed Nevadan Mormon would surely kill for all the while. It's a stirring introduction to an as yet ambiguous someone with a quite inimitable story to tell: born in Laos to American volunteers, he's travelled the seven seas playing on boards crept by everyone from Black Sabbath to Bruno Mars in bands spanning stoner-rock to power-pop , though never previously [...]
![[MP3] All Night Shoes’ ‘Like This’](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/5011657_lg.jpg)
American Dreamwave/Nu-Disco producer All Night Shoes is making forays into DiscoPop and Chillwave with his new tune, Like This . Branching out from his Nu-Disco sound, All Night Shoes plays around with new elements and new tempos with this tune, including some pretty slick vocals to create a different mood altogether from his usual output. Laid back in it’s approach, and it’s BPM, Like This weaves bits of Chillwave and ElectroPop into a poolside Disco groove. As with [...]

In this, the week of "Yeezus", another Chi-town rapper drops a new track and Chief Keef does his thing with what is actually a rather subdued track - "Loud". Chief Keef - Loud (Limelinx)
One-time teen idol Bobby Sherman has led an interesting life. During the 1960s and 1970s he starred on TV and also had a number of million-selling records, all adding to his status as a heartthrob for a lot of young fans. And even when things started slowing down musically he still managed to find regular TV work well into the 1980s. But it might surprise you to learn that he eventually took a detour into law enforcement - and yet he didn't leave show business forever, because he later found time to write a book and also become part of [...]

Is "On My Way" a new Drake track featuring James Fauntleroy or could it be a leftover from the same studio session that spawned "Girls Love Beyonce" ? The cut's less than three minutes and ends abruptly, so we can guess this isn't a final version. But what we do have is Drizzy crooning/pining for a piece of trim from a young lady. "Typical Drake," right? As corny and trite as the concept sounds ( or as gruff types will label it to be), any guy who's ever placed a call for a [...]
Venice based duo Rambla Boys remixes the Art Department, BLUD, Shaun Reeves and Damian Lazarus track "Robot Heart" and churns out a lighter side of the original that still goes deep. We suggest this remix is played during the early morning hours of the upcoming European festival season.
