Two Jackals anuncian el lanzamiento de su primer sencillo, "Cartagena" El emergente cuarteto de Brighton, Inglaterra, Two Jackals , está provocando desorden en la red. Su oscuras guitarras en un contexto cambiante lleno de reverberancia hacen que las comparaciones con The xx tomen importancia. Pero en general, todo está inmiscuido en un ambiente denso, melancólico, y con tonalidades negras. Basta con escuchar su primeros demos . Ahora, la banda anunció el lanzamiento de su primer sencillo oficialmente. " Cartagena " fue producido por Pablo Clements de UNKLE [...]
Embers anuncian nuevo sencillo, "Part Of The Echoes" Embers es un cuarteto de Manchester que en tan sólo unos meses han definido perfectamente su sonido." Part of the Echoe s", su más reciente sencillo lo confirma. Un tema que desprende guitarras épicas, una batería que acaricias las mieles de la gloria, y las voces son la esperanza que llama en todo momento. Hay psicodelia, shoegaze, y post-rock en una sola canción. Escúchala abajo. " Part of the Echoes " estará acompañada por el lado b " Digital Daze ", [...]

If you were trying to figure out the meaning behind all of the bizarre animated clips Queens Of The Stone Age has been releasing over the last few weeks, you may have your answer. Well, not exactly because all the guys really did was string together all of the clips to form a short 15 minute animated film, but man is it cool. With animations done by Liam Brazier and artwork from Boneface, the visuals go perfectly with QOTSA music and kind of remind me of the old Twisted Metal video games. You know the ones [...]

If you are looking to get in on the ground floor of a band that's going to be huge soon, look no further than LA based, Smallpools . The numbers don't lie. Their only song thus far, " Dreaming" , has 86k+ plays on Soundcloud in five short days in existence. Normally I am not one to read into "topping hype.m" or someone who is "BLOWING up Souncloud" too much, but this is downright ridiculous. Listening to the track it is easy to understand this phenomena. " Dreaming" is a sugary [...]

(photo: Karl Scullin ) Ooooooweeeeeee. It's time for some new Pikelet everybody. 'Pressure Cooker' is a groovin' jam replete with the characteristically scattered vocals of lead, Evelyn Morris. What this Melbourne based four piece does well, is provide 'alt-pop' that goes completely against the grain. As a band that's a staple on community radio, Pikelet who makes you think about the construction of music than what's presented through perceived national tastemakers. Tagged as 'psych pop' on their Soundcloud, it seems 'Pressure Cooker' does exactly that. From the get [...]

Mario - Instagram It's been a minute, but Mario is back with a brand new single. The R&B crooner taps Nicki Minaj for his latest, "Somebody Else." Not a bad way to make a comeback. Over a Polow Da Don -produced beat, Mario is a jilted lover who has to accept the fact that his love left him for somebody else. Nicki storms the track with her verse, playing the girl who got away. "Looking at my new man/Wish it was you/But you dead now/Sign [...]

The stars in the celestial sphere have aligned if only for a moment to form an indie dream trio, with the Sisters Crutchfield (of Swearin' and Waxahatchee ) covering the preeminent future-pop queen Grimes . Their version of "Oblivion" uses garage rock silly putty to pull the tune right off Grimes' funny pages, and while it's a little more rough-edged than Claire Boucher's original, it picks up all of the specifics that made the original one of our favorites of 2012. Stream the track below. [soundcloud url=" http://api.soundcloud.com/trac ks/93062442" params="" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /] [...]

Two months back, we got out first taste of " Varsity ", the lead single from Smith Westerns ' upcoming third LP Soft Will . And now, nearly a month before the album's scheduled release date, the Chicago band released the tempered "3 a.m. Spiritual". It's as close to what may have been referred to as a ballad, had this band been around in the '60s, with the echo-chamber guitars sweetly falling into a make-or-break finale. Check out the new track below. Soft Will is set for release June 25 through Mom+Pop Records [...]

When Joe Goddard isn't making music with Hot Chip or on DFA Records with Two Bears , he's putting out solo material much in the same vein - disco-dance parties with large portions of eclecticism and quirk. His latest single "She Burns" rolls out over eight minutes of semi-personal, semi-pop house grooves, guided by a warm vocal performance by UK singer/songwriter Marla Carlyle. Stream the track below (via Pitchfork ). "She Burns" will be out on a new Goddard EP, Taking Over, which will be out sometime later this [...]

Last March, Stones Throw fellow CX Kidtronik debuted his magnetic and cutthroat " Locked In ". The furiously cerebral track brought in likable comparisons to Death Grips , but that's mostly based on the tantric energy on display. Two months later and we finally get the second taste of his upcoming Krak Attack 2: The Battle Of Eli Skiff LP, with "Lady Krak P.S.A". This time around, Kidtronik stays off the verses, with Lady Miss Kier and Digable Planets' member Ladybug Mecca contributing. [...]

Kentucky grunge-punk outfit Cage the Elephant is something of a family affair, with brothers Matt and Brad Shultz handling lead vocals and rhythm guitar, respectively. For his latest project, Brad Shultz continues to keep it right in the family, enlisting his cousin and budding vocalist Kane Stewart for a group called Plastic Visions . The story goes that Stewart had been reluctantly running his family business, the California surf megastore Stewart Surfboards. Looking to escape his tedious day job, Stewart abruptly moved to Nashville, where the duo recently spent a month in the studio combining [...]

Following up their 2012 self-titled debut, Danielle Hindman and Sarah Versprille (of Vetiver ), released the gloriously polished and atomically sweet "Pendulum" from Pure Bathing Culture's upcoming Moon Tides .

Stream/download the single below.
Diaper Money is taken from The Lonely Island 's third LP, The Wack Album - out 11th June.
Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, all those graduation parties and the down time somewhere on the distant horizon the next three months: the new video for Handshakes' single "Vacation." The L.A. outfit's sprightly power-pop song — think the Weezer or the Rentals with horns — is a giddy excursion that suggests everything you see in director Tristan Nyby's video for the song, which appeared on Handshakes' "Villains & Crooks" EP released last December. Fire up the barbecues, please. "Vacation" can't come soon enough. ||| Previously: "Vacation," [...]

On an ethereal wisp sails the music of Cloud Boat , an elvish tribe hailing from the British Isles, whose sound is reminiscent of a cross between Bon Iver and James Blake. In anticipation of their album, Book of Hours , the band has unleashed the double-sided single: "Youthern/Hammerspace". Listen to the electro-soul reworking of the side-A track, "Youthern" by the London producer, Flako and watch Cloud Boat's second live session at Trinity Church with a profoundly heart-felt performance of "Kowloon Bridge" below. Look out for Book of Hours , Cloud Boat's first full-length album, out on May [...]

As part of their first national headline run, The Neighbourhood is releasing three limited split 7″ singles that will feature new songs from their and their supporting acts, Lovelife , The 1975 , and JMSN that will only be available at the shows. Have I told you lately that I Love You? In the first release, The Neighbourhood digs back to the band's hip-hop roots (and also Jesse Rutherford's rapping roots that was pre-The Neighbourhood). So smooth, so addicting. Something about Jesse's voice is so endearingly vulnerable and raw. It's [...]
