[author-name] When Samoa jumped over the international dateline at the end of 2011, Howl Griff wrote a song about it. At the stroke of midnight of this year, a Samoa radio station played it, thus making the song "International Dateline" the first song played in 2013. Original Website: myworldmusicfriends.com/
Details continue to dispense since Earl Sweatshirt's return. Check out some recently released footage of Earl's last days at Coral Reef Academy in Samoa, captured by Leila Steinberg and her crew of artists. While there isn't too much insight within this short clip, it does give us an idea of Earl's lifestyle on the island. It also goes to show that he seemed to actually be enjoying himself.

So legit @alexenglish and his rider… #samoas (Taken with instagram )
Everybody at this point who has any idea of what Odd Future is knows that Earl Sweatshirt has been missing in action for quite some time now. Last night a twitter account and an empty Tumblr were created claiming to be the returned Earl Sweatshirt. While this may be another joke from Odd Future or a fan, it seems like the return of Earl is quite true this time around with the release of his first song "Home". Tyler even tweeted last night with a link to the twitter account of Earl. This morning Earl sent out a few tweets, [...]

Korallreven - Sa Sa Samoa (Feat. Julianna Barwick)

Korallreven has sometimes been characterized as "ambient" music - which, if you only listened to the first ten seconds of their songs, you might think too. In reality, their sound is a carefully composed and constructed electronic-choral (now there's a genre I'd like to hear more of) soundscape. It's not without direction, either: the Swedish duo works in a percussive drive that doesn't allow the music to feel aimless. Their latest release, "Sa Sa Samoa," with Julianna Barwick, even works in a chant reminiscent of South African Isicathamiya, a la Ladysmith Black Mambazo. [...]
Swedish Balearic pop duo Korallreven will release their long-awaited, geniusly-titled An Album by Korallreven shortly, and they keep churning out fantastic tunes to keep us on our toes. The band just dropped “Sa Sa Samoa”, and it’s absolutely, purely gorgeous – their effortlessly bright, clean electronic soundscape gains extra stellar beauty thanks to a stunningly shuffled and remixed vocal performance by singer Julianna Barwick . The whole thing, with its hypnotizing backline of tribal percussion and percolating synth lines, sounds remarkably like sunrise on a winter morning, brilliant and stunning as the sun reflecting on [...]

Do you like to dream yourself away in music? If so, I think you would love Korallreven . I've seen the name jump around in the blogosphere and on net-zines, and now finally I am confronted with this magical wall of dreamy pop. Like waves crashing towards a abandoned beach, Korallreven brings forth worlds of meditative rhythms and melodies. It's not hard to float away into fantasies with this hypnotic creation. The album An Album By Korallreven is heavily influenced by tribal music of the Samoans, starting off enticing you into [...]

Korallreven - Sa Sa Samoa "Sa Sa Samoa" is the third single off Swedish duo Korallreven's debut album, An Album by Korallreven , out November 15 in the US. I want to live inside the dreamy world of "Sa Sa Samoa," it has a very cinematic feel-after my initial listen the only words that came to me were sunshine and Lion King. The track begins with the ethereal looping harmonies of Brooklyn experimentalist Julianna Barwick and it somehow evolves into what sounds to me like a children's choir (but I think [...]
