![[REMIX/COVER/EP] The Knocks – MAGIC [w/ "Brightside" (The Sound Of Arrows remix) & "Midnight City" (M83 cover)]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4056863_lg.jpg)
through danger zones and fearless flights, trying to go with no end in sight ♫ The Knocks - Brightside (The Sound of Arrows Remix) The Knocks have been kicking out singes and EPs for a stretch now, earning many a post on TBE. Their endless stellar remixes would be enough to make them golden DJ gods but their own super jams like "Blackout" and "Dancing With The DJ" have earned them the real dance-floor props. Plus they did a [...]
![[MUST HAVE] Bright Light Bright Light: Blueprints 1 EP Review](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4008646_lg.jpg)
Long time favorite of mine Bright Light Bright Light , aka Rod Thomas, just released his first US EP today. Blueprints 1 is a beautifully rich, honest, and touching collection of songs from one most talented musicians in the pop world. Blueprints is a stark and gorgeous departure from the textured, emotional synth-pop he has become loved and known for. Stripped down to a single piano, Rod's voice and the voices of musicians he has worked with over the course of a year hard at work creating his debut album. In a letter to fans Rod [...]
VISITOR is pleased to share their new remix of "Wonders" by The Sound of Arrows. This remix is included on the 12" that Neon Gold released last month, copies are still available here. "Wonders... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
It's just our luck that yesterday, the one day we can't post anything due to being on strike to protest against barbaric proposals to cripple the internet, the amazing Visitor drops a reMix of the equally amazing The Sound Of Arrows ' 'Wonders'. It took a lot of willpower not to turn scab! This reMix is worth waiting for though, it's like a SynthPop dream. Visitor have perfectly captured the essence of The Sound Of Arrows, and given it their own little twist. Keeping the uplifting euphoria of the original the Visitor boys add a [...]

The Sound Of Arrows debut album, Voyage , was one of my favorite LP's of 2011 and their latest single ' Wonders ' is an epic synth filled dream-pop bit of amazing! VISITOR has reworked the amazing sound, added in a bit of twinkling synths, bass and some funk to really make something new and wonderful.

The Sound Of Arrows - Wonders ( VISITOR Remix) [ mp3 SoundCloud] lush and dreams and pop

Since Visitor dropped that (youtube link) " Love " track i just want them to release more and more tunes. I can feel they produce music from the heart. Pure gold! This new remix they did for "Wonders" from Sound Of Arrows makes dream about the good things life has to offer us. I have already listened to this track more than 5 times in a row. I think this one has just made my day! Sound Of Arrows - Wonders (VISITOR Remix) [download here ] [...]

Artwork by Dalila Couto A couple weeks ago we asked our followers what were their favorite tracks of 2011. We could have done our own top, but we have decided people should tell us, because all blogs are doing their own charts. If there is any track missing, we apologize for it, but i think everyone is included. Anyway, we have also contributed with our favorites. No doubts 2011 was an excellent year. Here we only have originals, during this week we are going to blog as well all the remixes. For sure [...]

Como falamos no nosso especial de "Músicas Favoritas de 20113 , há um motivo bem claro para a escolha do título do nosso post. Não estaremos tratando dos "melhores" discos que ouvimos em 2011, basicamente pois há centenas de lançamentos por dia, e se fossemos escutar tudo o que é lançado (um desejo meu mas fora da minha realidade), essa lista com certeza estaria diferente. Normalmente as listas de fim de ano são feitas a partir de discussões internas entre os muitos membros da publicação, onde geralmente as pérolas e favoritas individuaise de cada membro são omitidas a favor [...]

2. Nightwish - Imaginaerium Sure, it's not 100% perfect, but no other album displayed this much ambition in 2011. The highs on this are amongst the best things recorded this year. Mixing symphonic rock, film soundtracks, goth-rock-pop vocals and more bombast than you can fathom, Nightwish made their strongest album more than a decade into their career. 1. The Sound Of Arrows - Voyage [...]

Special Mention: Rebecca Black - Friday Sure, the song's horrible (in all the best ways), but no other track had a better story behind it than this one. I'd be insane if I didn't at least mention it! 10. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem So right for all the wrong reasons. If you told me a year ago that I'd be putting an LMFAO song in [...]
People love lists. Particularly "best of the year" lists. There's something about putting a quantitative ranking next to a collection of the year's entertainment - the people need to know how things match up against each other. To be honest, I was dreading the creation of these rankings. It's borderline impossible for me to take two albums of completely different genres and try to justify how one is better than the other. In the process though, you re-discover albums from earlier in the year that you loved, but didn't quite give enough time to. This is the summation of that [...]

30. Short Stack - Heartbreak Made Me A Killer An album highlight and one of their best singles. It's like all of their best sounds thrown together into one song. 29. Olly Murs - Heart Skips A Beat (ft. Rizzle Kicks) Represents his shift from X-Factor runner-up to proper popstar. This was inescapable this Summer, and [...]

Our pop peers over at UK music site PopJustice unveiled their picks for the Top 33 Albums and the Top 45 Singles of 2011, and their lists offer both the familiar and the fresh — Lady Gaga's Born This Way topped their album picks, while Martin Solveig's collaboration with Dragonette on "Hello" was their favorite tune from 2011. Their taste is heavy on dance tracks and larger than life melodies, so if your heart beats pure pop, you'll be pleased with these picks, especially if you crave some tunes yet undiscovered here in The States. [...]

...However, if you are planning to start 2012 without one of these in your music collection, then you have made something of a faux pas. 1. Yuksek 'Living On The Edge of Time' 2. Justice 'Audio Video Disco' 3. The Sound of Arrows 'Voyage' 4. CockNBullKid 'Adulthood' 5. Digitalism 'I Love You, Dude' 6. Pnau 'Soft Universe' 7. Apparat 'The Devil's Walk 8. Birdy 'Birdy' 9. Is Tropical 'Native To' 10. Jonsi 'We Bought A Zoo OST' 11. Chad Valley 'Eqatorial Ultravox' 12. Cut Copy 'Zonoscope' 13. Beni 'House Of Beni' 14. James Vincent McMorrow 'Early In The [...]
There's no way around it: 2011 was an astoundingly good year in pop music. Not since the 2007 reign of Kylie 's X , Britney 's Blackout , Rihanna 's Good Girl Gone Bad and Girl's Aloud 's Tangled Up has there been such a strong showing in pop: We found love in the most hopeless of places, hung onto a moment and danced to the beat of our drums 'til the world ended (well, until next year anyway.) As per usual, I've hemmed and [...]

So we've made it to December... no more fall, no more November. We're about to be waist deep in mittens, holiday music on repeat, coke-cola polar bears and hopefully some J-mo spiked cider. To kick off this season-o-spiked-cider, we've got a jolly mix of tunes that will keep you warm until you finally bite the bullet and buy a winter coat after you lost your last one boozin too hard last February (or maybe that's just me.) <<<Download the Kick Kick Snare December Mixtape Here>>> Happy Holidays KickKickSnarers! We can't wait to [...]
Photography: Nicholas Strobelt The Sound of Arrows have finally released their debut album (a few weeks ago actually). It's a good deal of pop music in general, but this song... conquers them all. The Sound of Arrows - Conquest

Since January, our ears have been privy to the latest LPs from several big-name pop stars, promising debuts from up-and-coming artists and noteworthy releases from overseas. Of course, there was also one juggernaut from a power-house Brit vocalist that shattered all expectations. Naturally, over the months, many of these have sound-tracked the daily duties we here at the Idolator office go about each and every week. And so, like at the end of 2010 , each of the three editors recently took it upon themselves to strap on their pumped up kicks and sift through the records [...]
