Two bouncy, colorful house tracks from Airbird & Napolian streaming via the widget above, and they've got a pretty warped and wonky vibe to 'em. Moments on "In The Zone" give off some pretty nostalgic and chillwave-esque vibes, but I think you'll find "Special" to be much more driving and infectious. According to Cascine Records, these guys should be dropping a collaborative full-length this winter! Enjoy!
"Every Minute" continues the ridiculous run of great tracks Lovelife has been on of late. Seriously, one four track EP and the beginnings of another, plus this tour split with The Neighbourhood? Wow. "This is for every lie you told, for every grudge you hold, for every minute that you have wasted..." Basically, a smooth listen for whenever you need that sort of thing. Or maybe you know someone petty and this is your jam.
As we reported earlier, Queens Of The Stone Age will headline a show at the Wiltern on Thursday, May 23. That show quickly SOLD OUT, but if you were unable to get tickets, NPR Music will live stream the entire...
Next month, multi-talented Brooklynite MeLo-X will release the follow-up to his GOD: LoFi EP from this past March. And the first we're hearing from it is "Mojitos and Little Dragon", a summer-ready jam produced by Potholes Music's own AbJo . As someone who is currently clawing at the walls in an attempt to make the weekend get here sooner, I can definitely vibe out to this on some vicarious living-type-shit. Here's hoping we hear more from these two in the coming weeks. You can stream/download the track below. GOD: HiFi [...]
Sombear is the new musical project of Minneapolis’ Brad Hale (of Now, Now). The project serves as an outlet for his love of dance pop and house music during his younger years in the late 90s and early 2000s. He will be releasing his debut, Love You In The Dark , on July 23rd via Chris Walla's (Death Cab for Cutie) label Trans-Records . As an introduction, he has released the title track to the LP. There is something cold and dark about the track that just [...]
Tits 'N Explosions by Nocando A new collection of tracks from West Coast MC Nocando on Hellfyre Club, which is that same label that dropped those great Milo EPs earlier this year. Don't go into this project expecting even roughly the same thing, though. What Nocando brings to the table are some odd and eyebrow-raising pop raps that feature some modern, noisy beats that bang with no shame whatsoever. I have to agree with the addition of "RAP GAME MICHAEL BAY MOVIE!" in the description. [...]
Hanging Gardens , the debut LP from Classixx , has only been out a week, but various tracks from the fantastic release have slowly been infiltrating our various mixes for parties and outdoor get-togethers, lately. The album serves as the perfect compliment to any and all things summer. To build on the momentum of the release, the Los Angeles pair dropped the new and non-LP cut "Valley Vacation." It is a mesmerizing, synthed-out instrumental. Stream it below.
Metal outfit Deafheaven has dropped the title track from their forthcoming album, Sunbather , which is set for release on Deathwish Inc. next month. The song takes a load of black metal theatrics and executes them with triumphantly beautiful lead melodies. Enjoy! Also, catch a review for a previously released track from the band, "Dream House," below:
While I have never really been able to get into the HBO show True Blood , their latest soundtrack for the series is something to get behind. Scheduled for release on May 28th via ATO Records , it features the likes of My Morning Jacket, Deep Valley, The Flaming Lips, and Warpaint to name a few. Additionally, everyone's favorite down home mamajamas Alabama Shakes are contributing a new one titled "Pocket Change." It is a simple little throwback ditty that would be perfect to throw on for your next [...]
Francis Farewell Starlite aka Francis and the Lights hasn't released anything in two years making his new "ETC" that much more monumentally memorable. The self-produced "ETC" reminds us of all the reasons we love Francis in the first place - his distinct sultry vocals against poetic piano pop and R&B beats. And the way he coos "And will we be happy..." It's on that Frank Ocean/Sam Smith seduction scale. Please let this mean there is a new album coming. MP3: Francis and the Lights - "ETC" [...]
Brainfeeder rap duo the Underachievers have been riding high off the release of their fantastic debut mixtape, Indigoism . And seemingly out of nowhere, they have dropped a brand-new track, "May's Patience", with the message that "may's patience brings June releases." The ill-as-hell cut serves as the beginning of a stream of drops from Issa and Ak, including a video for "The Proclamation" and a new project, Chapter 23 . Chyeah. You can stream/download the track below. Download: The Underachievers - "May's Patience" [Sharebeast]
Red Lights . Revamped and re-energized. Red Lights is a segment where I can quickly run through the tracks remixes and electronic sounds that caught my ear but didn’t quite catch my tongue… Red Lights to make you stop and listen. -
British duo known as Mount Kimbie will be releasing their brand new record Cold Spring Fault Less Youth on May 28th, but thanks to NPR , we get to stream the record in full prior to that date. This will be the beat-makers second record, but on this one they decided to incorporate more sounds that would translate a bit easier to their live performances. You'll find some solid choice instruments and two songs that feature fellow British artist King Krule . Check it out at the link below. Fresh? [...]
Portada de 'Cave Rave'. El grupo británico/español estrenó hace unos meses un adelanto de su nuevo álbum, ahora, vía Hype Machine , nos dejan escuchar su nueva producción de principio a fin una semana antes de que llegue a las tiendas. Crystal Fighters recurre una vez más a su estilo de música dance con toques de punk , muy a al DFA , para crear un verdadero rave en una caverna. Escuchen su nuevo álbum, Cave Rave , aquí .
Sometime last year I brought you all a jam from Diarrhea Planet , and while I questioned the name, I couldn't help but enjoy the anthemic brashness of the group's sound. You'll hear just that on the group's latest single, "Separations," which will be on their new album, I'm Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams . If it sounds like this tune, then you can be sure the whole album will be filled with exuberant energy and hooks you can sing along to all day long. Perfect for summer time; the [...]
If you could see the shape of my heart right now, it's struggling not to implode. Experimental pop songstress Charli XCX lends her incredible voice of Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way." It seems like she may have only first heard this song recently saying "I hope you like it and because I love it i'm like obsessed with this now." Or maybe she is just obsessed with performing it? After this display, I'm obsessed with her performing it too. And this is coming from an N*Sync fan. This is so special. THANK YOU GF. Enjoy more [...]
It's 2 a.m., you can't sleep, and you're trying to figure out what you should do. Well, if you're Jay Cue , you're scrolling through beats from frequent collaborator Action Bastard. And when you hear one of 'em, something clicks and you decide to start crooning off the top. No pen, no pad, just your words flowing over some spaced-out production. Yeah, you've got it. You can stream "Let Me Let You" below.
![[Listen] Alabama Shakes - "Pocket Change"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4964630_lg.jpg)
We've not heard from Alabama Shakes for quite some time. Just last month I was talking about them with someone and for the life of me could not remember their name. I could however recall their album title, Boys & Girls , and the fact it came out in April last year. I'm full of useless facts about release dates and album titles, but forget the important stuff like band names apparently. Useless in a pub quiz. Anyway that was over a year ago, and now the band are set to appear on True [...]
Not much is known about newcomers Still Parade . Their first single "Actors" is like a dose of xanax: softly picked guitars are mingled with lush vocals and echoed drums creating a hazy tune that will leave you feeling more relaxed than a pill ever could. This is the first song off an album that has been three years in the making and the careful care of the album is never more present than in "Actors." The mindful mixture of warm synths and carefully crafted luring strings stirs a rare moment of total solitude. Listen below [...]
![[Listen] Pharrell Williams' new 'Despicable Me 2' featuring track, "Happy"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4964383_lg.jpg)
The never aging Pharrell has been pretty busy lately, what with him featuring on the new Daft Punk album. You may remember way back in 2010 , Williams was behind the soundtrack to the movie, Despicable Me , and now the sequel is about to be released, it appears he's contributing music to that too. The Despicable Me 2 soundtrack is set to be released in just under a months time on June 18th. The film will hit cinemas in the US on the 3rd of July with an [...]
