Delorean Debuted New Music at Opening and Closing SXSW Sets (Fader Fort and True Panther) It was nearly three years since I’d seen them perform live, so Delorean were one of my top bands to see at SXSW this year. They actually ended up being the first and last band I saw during SXSW music. T he Fader Fort gig on Tuesday, March 12th (technically a preview to SXSW music) was a private event co-sponsored by Dell with a very sparse crowd for Delorean’s opening set. It was like a private show for the very [...]
Over at Abeano , we got a taste of Hyetal's "Northwest Passage." While the artist has done his due diligence with Julio Bashmore as part of their Velour side-project, Hyetal (with vocals from Gwilym Gold ) proves his value on his own with thumping rhythms and some clever lost-in-space off-key construction. The 12" single is slated for release April 29 via True Panther Records . Listen below.
So this is pretty awesome. Tanline's have released an interactive music video for "Not The Same" - their latest single off of 2012's nearly perfect debut LP, Mixed Emotions . There are bound to be a few glitches as you do this, but it's nevertheless incredibly fun. The interactive video format allows you to select a setting (White House and Stonehenge are my favorites), as well as which instruments the Jesse and Ian are shown playing, their position on the screen, and other elements. Check out a couple more of my favorite screenshots below from my [...]

Teengirl Fantasy's sophomore album finds the duo, Nick Weiss and Logan Takahashi, going sample free, dragging their cut and paste vocals to the trash icon and luring in the likes of Panda Bear and Laurel Halo to sing it for real. It makes for a more human experience and, along with the group's less spaced-out production, even hones in on the realms of pop. With tracks like Koi Pond and Vibes , their debut, 7am , often had a trance-like haze hanging over it. Tracer clears the air, incorporating more complex patterns [...]
"This may come as a surprise to many & has been an issue of much thought for me. My decision was not easy to make. I am leaving Girls. My reasons at this time are personal. I need to do this in order to progress. I will continue to write & record music. More will be announced soon. I thank you all for everything." I think it's safe to say that every follower of Christopher Owens' personal Twitter account had their heart broken when they scrolled down their home page on 2 [...]
Det er længe siden, vi har hørt fra Hyetal . Siden den britiske producers melodiske, drømmende UK-funky-bastard først vakte opmærksomhed med singlen "Phoenix", udgav han debut-lp'en Broadcast i maj 2011. Og så har der være stille. Stille var der også omkring Californien-via-Brooklyn-bande t Lemonade , før de i maj kom med opfølgeren til den selvbetitlede debut fra 2008. Med en signing på det kvalitetsbevidste label True Panther og den højenergiske synthpop på Diver , blev interessen for trioen vakt igen - særligt den højglanspolerede produktion og den retroromantiske synthlyd gav 802erne [...]

It's always a good day when there's a new Teengirl Fantasy track and I was stoked to arrive at work and check soundcloud this morning to see they'd dropped another in the lead-up to their Tracer LP. "End" cuts a more downtempo figure than previous single "Motif" , building from swirling arpeggios with stately classic house referencing piano and slinking back down again into a soup of crisp pads and slick digitalism. Tracer is out on R&S and True Panther August 21.
Teengirl Fantasy nos presenta "End" la primera probadita de lo que será Tracer su segundo LP. El nuevo disco sale el próximo 21 de agosto en True Panther y lo pueden pre-ordenar desde su sitio . Enjoy.

The sounds of Lemonade are sinus-clearing, refreshing, a palette cleanser. Like two Alka-Seltzer after a heavy night. Diver reminds me of Saint Etienne’s 2003 offering Finisterre , which I used to have on rotation after heavy nights out, in order to sooth and prepare for the next day as I went to sleep. The same could be true for this album, wherein for me lies the problem: I’m a cup of tea man these days. However, if you’re after ten soothing, expertly produced, well-crafted pop gems, look no further. Delicate forays [...]
Tracer is out 8/21 on True Panther .
