Video: Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers (Director: Tarik Saleh)

El Corona Capital del año pasado nos dejó muchos recuerdos y momentos inolvidables que nos hacen ya pensar en lo que podría ser la edición de este año. Siempre se habla mucho sobre este festival a lo largo del año, y más en fechas cercanas a su realización en el mes de Octubre. Y es por eso que en LosAmateurs nos gustaría saber ¿Que bandas les gustaría ver en la Curva 4 del Autódromo el próximo mes de Octubre? Nosotros pondremos algunas bandas que nos gustaría ver, y que creemos, [...]

Non è un vero e proprio mistero (Giacobbo, non abbiamo bisogno di te!), ma uno di quei 'casi' che capitano di rado e ci lasciano perplessi: I Follow Rivers di Lykke Li (nella versione The Magician Remix) è, al momento in cui scriviamo, nella top ten dei singoli scaricati su iTunes , precisamente al secondo posto. Intendiamoci, il primo estratto dal secondo album "Wounded rhymes" non ci dispiace e abbiamo parlato spesso di Lykke Li qui su Soundsblog . Ci chiediamo però come un singolo accattivante - forte di un remix [...]

10. “Take It As It Comes,” Vivian Girls 9. “Shake It Out,” Florence + The Machine 8. “Flicker,” Rosi Golan 7. “Seven Sisters,” Le Blorr 6. “Shake Me Down,” Cage the Elephant 5. “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains,” Arcade Fire [...]

This year in music has been quite impressive. While 2010 gave us clear-cut, stand alone winners, it was much harder to determine which album was Top Ten worthy, let alone the best of 2011. Most sites have published their lists already, and while many albums appear on the same lists, the top ten varies greatly from list to list. Don't expect us to be any different.

Es época de listas, de recopilar todo lo “mejor” del año que poco a poco se esfuma. En este largo recorrido nos hemos topado con grandes listas, aunque siempre les falta o les sobra algo, es cuestión de gustos. Sinceramente, este año no pretendemos categorizar lo mejor [...]

This list seems a bit silly and...irrelevant, maybe? I don't know. I say this because I could have done about 134 different variations of this list and, as I went by the old Planet Sound (RIP! xxxx) rule that I could only include tracks from bands who aren't going to be featured in our Albums Of The Year list, this by no means a set-in-stone, official twenty-best-songs-of-the-year. It's just a bunch of fantastic tracks that represent a lot of the music that we like and try to cover on the site. So just enjoy it, dammit. So for now [...]

10. Esben and the Witch - Violet Cries Facebook / Order CD/LP Esben and the Witch's debut album 'Violet Cries' (which came out way back in January via Matador) delivered ten tracks that combined to create a rich tapestry of dense and mystical fairytales delivered in a dramatic, uncompromising and bold manner. Equal parts stark beauty and deathly misery encompassed in an unsettling, atmospheric gloom and ethereal soundscapes. Opening track "Argyria" hammers home [...]

Sorry for the absence of this here column last week; I got hit with an acute case of tonsillitis which definitely killed my Monday pretty badly. Felt like I was swallowing razorblades....but the good news is that it got me to the doctor to get some killer horse-pills to clear my junk up, so I [...]

  L'album dei Coldplay " Mylo Xyloto" ha cominciato la scalata all'Europa issandosi in vetta alle classifiche già in diversi paesi e c'è da credere che nelle prossime settimane sarà ancora grande protagoniste. Tiene ancora Adele che sia con i singoli che con l'album " 21 " domina le classifiche anche da noi, come anche sono ancora sulla cresta dell'onda Rihanna e Calvin Harris. Sotto, i numeri uno. Sopra " I follow rivers " di Lykke Li.   SINGOLI [...]

Let's go back in time: Lykke Li: "I Follow Rivers" Is it love, lust or infatuation? Lykke Li goes on a relentless pursuit of a man in this video, running in her bare feet through the snow while the dark tune looms in the background. Amazing song, kick-ass video. I love the part where she shoots an icy, cold glare at the viewer. Feist: "1234" [...]

As school starts back I am reminded that the year of 2011 is nearing it's end, and with that we start to look back at what music made it so special. So these are my favorites for the first half of 2011. Cults- 'Cults' I had been waiting for this album since the first single was released last summer, "Go Outside" was the perfect summer anthem and Cults continued to impress me right up to this full length. Panda Bear- 'Tomboy' Animal Collective are [...]

I'm not particularly happy about it, but there's no doubt that it's been summer for a while now. It's hot and steamy and, despite the rain, generally kind of miserable here in the desert. But it's the price to pay for 70-degree sunny days all winter.To celebrate the season, here are some of the best songs I've heard in the second quarter of 2011. Ladies, it's the Catfish Vegas Summer 13:• Bon

Well, summer is underway and 2011 is already past its midpoint. So, like most other music blogs out there, I figure I’d take a stab at what I feel are the best albums of the year so far. 10: Bon Iver - Bon Iver [...]

I heard the voice of an angel. Her name is Lykke Li . For those not familiar with this Swedish goddess, immediately check her out. Without a doubt, Lykke Li is one the best female pop vocalists waiting to breakthrough. I first heard about Lykke Li in 2009, when she was rumored to be dating a certain Hollywood actor, but I never followed up on her. Now I am kicking myself in the head. There have been times where I came across an amazing artist, but just never really delved into their music [...]

Hip Hop artist ScienZe has been hard at work banging out more free tunes for our ears. The last time I posted music from him was a few months ago when he dropped a nice mixtape called Hall Pass . Early last week he dropped a free EP called Simply Aesthetic . The album features 7 tracks and a bonus track. He hooked up with 4 different producers to create a fresh blend of hip hop. Be on the lookout for this emcee. Listen and download to the EP below. Connect with [...]

This week sees the return of Ear Worm with an alternative Eurovision special Nessy Monaghan - France I first found out about Christophe Willem about five years ago while I was in Paris. He was everywhere. Every television channel, every radio station was pumping out a slick pop song called 'Double Je'. Christophe Willem had won 'Nouvelle Star', the French version of American Idol and while the format by which he was discovered is known the world over, there are many things that make Christophe distinctly French. He wears geeky glasses [...]

After sifting through the last few weeks worth of the rbma feature it struck me that I have been pretty bass heavy and wonked out. This must change is what I thought to myself, but then I thought no but we love the bass to which I replied but we also love different music’s…… it was around this point I thought it was a bit weird to have a full  dialectic conversation in my own head so I stopped. Premiering this weeks business is a young man named Braiden . This set is taken from [...]
