Two excellent new electronic acts- New York duo MS MR and Scottish trio CHVRCHES- unite for the first time on "Hurricane." On the light, breezy remix, CHVRCHES whip MS MR's debut single into a delightful, danceable frenzy. Courtesy of an infectious, synth-inflected chorus, this is one you won't be getting out of your head anytime soon.
We surveyed IRC readers asking what's their favorite album of the week, and not surprisingly, the vast majority picked Vampire Weekend's first album in three years, the just dropped Modern Vampires of the City. By the time Contra, the band's sophomore album, was released in 2010, a backlash was already building up against the wildly [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

So I'm seriously trying to get my take on the new Daft Punk album out, but I still feel like I need to listen to it a couple more times. My very first impression on the album was it was mediocre, but with each subsequent listen, it quickly changed to godlike. I think it needs to settle a bit before I write anything more about it. Starting off with an amazing track once again remixed by CHVRCHES of MS MR . I love it. It could be a CHVRCHES [...]
The long weekend that usually marks the first days of summer has arrived, and although the weather took an unusually long time to catch up, chances are you're going to see at least a bit of sun before Tuesday. To set you on your way, we've made a collection of our most replayed obsessions that arrived throughout the winter thaw. mp3: Soft Signal spring 2012 mix (85 mb) Disclosure – “You & Me" (feat.

Earlier this week, MS MR released Secondhand Rapture , a lovely debut album full of enigmatic alt-pop, and last night (May 16) they made their network television debut to celebrate the release. The duo of Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow (plus two extra live band-mates) performed "Hurricane" on the Late Show with David Letterman (sans blue and red body paint ). Lizzy's voice has an even smokier cabaret feel live, and combined with the more front-loaded synths, there's a nice fog/neon juxtaposition that isn't as apparent on the studio version. [...]

I feel this post and every one to follow is coming as a necessity. We had a weekly mix that we used to do that we seem to have forgotten about so here I am here to reinstate it. Basically what this will be is a weekly re-cap of all our favorite tracks of the week, of any genre, new releases and the occasional re-discovered gem. This week's mix will be a collection of tracks from the past couple of weeks. Most noteworthy tracks are the three of my favorite songs off Random Access Memories , Baauer [...]

MS MR made their TV debut last night on Late Show with David Letterman. I was so anxious to see which song they'd perform. Bones? Hurricane? Dark Doo Wop?! They ended up performing their hugely successful and loved single "Hurricane." Just wait for that moment at the 3:50 mark...Lizzy's vocals delivers pure bone-chilling goosebumps. It's pure pleasure to see good people making good music and succeeding. Get their album Secondhand Rapture available now on iTunes and Spotify . And don't miss them live with Magic Man [...]

Best thing about me Friday morning is the MS MR performing HURRICANE on the Late Show With David Letterman last night. Amazing. And it's their first ever telly performance.

Pois o London Grammar conseguiu tal feito em função da direção de Bison, que captou a melancolia da letra de “Wasting My Young Years” de maneira precisa. Com um som que remete à canção “Mad World” (na versão de Gary Jules ) e às músicas de James Blake , MS MR e Florence And The Machine , “Wasting My Young Years” será lançada oficialmente em junho.

New music from Lizzy Plapinger is always cause for celebration. This time she got together with synth master Max Hershenow alias MR. Together they are the new tumblr pop sensation of the year, MS MR. These two made music bloggers in all over the world go cross eyed and dribbly.

Electro-pop duo MS MR are children of the '10s (is that the right terminology?), soaked in Tumblr, the Internet and sounds so vogue you'll be zapped onto the cover of Nylon just by listening to them. They couldn't have appeared at a better time. Adorned with boutique threads and neon hair, my MS of the pair, fashionista Lizzy Plapinger is a star in the making – Florence + The Machine had a similar introduction to icon-dom. Max Hershenow, the MR, produces their sound [...]

Tuesdays are wondrous days for music and today especially. In this week's holy good releases you need now, my favorite dark-pop duo MS MR's debut album Secondhand Rapture is out today (via Columbia Records). LA duo Kisses releases their sophomore album Kids In La that is pouring with dark, 80s reminiscent pop (via Cascine). Favorite NYC modern vampires Vampire Weekend releases their fourth album Modern Vampires of the City that debuted as the #1 album on iTunes (via XL Recordings). And of course, the robots leaked yesterday granting us all a free stream of [...]

MS MR ’s first single, “ Hurricane ” admittedly stirred very little in me. The lustrous vocals of Lizzy Plapinger swelled and echoed along to the "MR"-half of the New York twosome, Max Hershenow ’s slick production; its punchy drums and subtle horns crafted textured grooves against the fluid synthwork that flowed throughout. It was all very pretty and indeed worthy of the subsequent praise, but for a song that welcomed us to “the inner workings of [Plapinger’s] mind,” you’d have expected sparks to fly, pits of intrigue to fall into, and [...]
While their finger-pointing is not nearly as poetically snide as say Alanis Morissette, their bitterness is intriguingly inviting.

While we're all waiting for the warm weather to officially take hold (we've been given an enticingly cruel taste of it here in Northwest), Vampire Weekend has created the perfect summer album to fuel your anticipation. At times wistfully nostalgic, percolatingly peppy and even fiercely energetic, Modern Vampires of the City is undoubtedly one of the best albums of the year so far. KEXP Music Director, Don Yates, calls the NYC band's third album their "most mature and musically adventurous release to date" with its "impressive variety of beautifully crafted, intricately detailed songs with imaginative arrangements [...]
