The thing about MT is how they sound so... polished. So ready. So much the finished product. It's a little suspicious (and exactly what fellow London artist DOLLS admirably rails against in this interview , Q6) and a little intimidating. But the good news outweighs the bad here - for this is a euphoric rush of a soft-rock song, a festival moment waiting to happen, a song to forever invoke a summer, a soon-to-be permanent resident on Absolute Radio's playlist. It's also just mighty impressive, and oh so easy on the ears. Although I'm really not sure [...]

We discovered Young Marco after hearing his brilliant Soft Rocks remix and thus had to investigate a little further. There's a 80s synthy sound to his music combined with some tribal and Afro elements giving it somewhat of an exotic feel. Sorry guys there aren't any freebies offered through his soundcloud page but his music is definitely worth listening to and also worth a few bucks on Juno . Official bio: Amsterdam native DJ, producer and [...]

Today's song of the day is Japanese rock band Ikimono-gakari's "Bluebird," the band's tenth single. I first heard this song as the third opening to the Naruto: Shippuden anime series, and it blew me away. It not only has become one of the most memorable anime themes I have heard, but also has become a regularly played song on my iPod. One of the things I love about the song is the talent of the band, something I do not often expect in TV and, indeed, anime theme songs. All the musicians in the band [...]
Depois do sucesso do single "Don't Save Me", lançado no fim do ano passado, as irmãs californianas Haim, se já antes tinham conquistado alguma atenção pelos blogs/webzines musicais, passaram a ter os críticos musicais ao seu lado o que, em conjunto com a sua popularidade reconhecida pela comunidade musical, começou a transformar as Haim numa espécie de hype, especialmente após terem recebido o

Yeah, new music gets us off...but that doesn't make us any less indecisive when it comes to everyone's favourite numerical categorizing system, the end of year 'BEST-OF' list. All of us decided to take simultaneous holidays interstate and overseas last December to even try and avoid it. For your curiousity, our 'list' would have probably included D.D Dumbo 's self titled, Grand Salvo 's Slay Me In My Sleep and perhaps a mention of Bored Nothing 's track Shit For Brains - titles of which all aptly sum up how we feel about the [...]

Have you been to Coober Pedy? Ever taken a stroll in the University there? Better still, have you heard the resident Uni band?! It's a good guess you haven't, primarily because neither two exist. The town does though, right? Lewie Day , the man behind Tornado Wallace and his production partner Tom Moore have come together to reel of a sensational release from Day's side project, Coober Pedy University Band . I'm all for this sound, Client Liaison are well and truly on the same side of the beach, same could be [...]

Earlier today, The Daily Swarm pulled out this quote by James Lachno of the Daily Telegraph about his unashamed love of Fleetwood Mac. Apparently, it's a generational thing and a Millennial thing: Where a decade or so ago the success of New Yorkers The Strokes and British quartet The Libertines led young music fans to devour the visceral debuts released during 1977’s punk explosion – from Television to The Clash – the resurgence in hook-laden guitar-pop has led us back to Rumours. My generation, meanwhile, can enjoy the album [...]
Seguimos con la repesca de 2012, descubriendo canciones que pasaron completamente inadvertidas (al menos, para mí) y se merecen sin embargo un hueco en este catálogo de debilidades: de la mano del sello Domino llegó el debut en formato largo de este trío de Minneapolis, titulado justamente como este post, " Colored Emotions ". Night Moves son el vocalista (y guitarrista) John Pelant, el teclista Mark Ritsema y un tal Micky Alfanso que se encarga del bajo. La música que hacen es difícil de describir, y la verdad es que resulta bastante más eficaz pulsar el play [...]

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" sung by Punch (Vocal Solo: Steve Adler, Guitar Solo: Mike Deasy), written by George Harrison and arranged by Charles Merriam and Bones Howe.

Si existiera un lugar donde se encontraran el (sublime) " Everybody's Talkin '" de Harry Nilsson y el (más sublime aún) " Love is in the Air " de John Paul Young, ese lugar sería esta canción, y yo querría vivir allí para siempre. Y lo juro (lo he dicho ya en tantas ocasiones que no espero que nadie me tome en serio): esta vez no estoy exagerando. Josh Tillman no está loco, pese a lo que pueda parecer. Su proyecto bajo de alias de Father John Misty no es el típico proyecto-paralelo-del-batería -de-los-Fleet-Foxes, no. Es lo que le [...]
