Listen! Daniel James – The Bridge
Something out of Northern Ireland for you. The track is the Bridge and is by the man with two first names, Daniel James. Here’s a little tidbit for you, too – the Bridge is based on a 1984 documentary about...

Listen! Elliphant – Revolusion
More new stuff from Mad Decent and in particular, Sweden’s Elliphant. The track is Revolusion, and is the first single from her debut EP Look Like You Love It, which are my instructions to my weekend escorts. The high energy...
Listen! Watter – Rustic Fog
I must admit, I’ve been loving a lot of stuff lately being put out by indie label Temporary Residence. The label are home to PeteHatesMusic interviewees Explosions in the Sky, Eluvium, an off-shoot of those first 2 – Inventions, new...
Watch! The War on Drugs – Red Eyes
After prematurely ejaculating AGAIN dismissing The War on Drugs, I’ve come to realize (thanks to a friend ramming it down my throat) that I nearly missed a good thing. The band are gearing up for the March 18 release of...
Listen! Dawn Golden – All I want
Happiness is a sad song. A brand new track that sounds unlike anything else in the MadDecent camp (in Soundcloud, they categorized this as “Sad Bangers” – ha!). This song is achingly good – and will probably remind you a...
Listen! Misun – All for Leyna
If there’s one band that keeps dropping new songs that I immediately dig, it would be Misun. After Nothing Else and Sleep, the band are back with All For Leyna, which is their take on the Billy Joel song. Needless...
Listen! The Hours – Steady Glazed Eyes
Fresh from the Inbox, if you’ve got time, we have something from The Hours. See what I did there? We have something out of Winnipeg for you, a city that which really should have more bands given the cold weather...
Watch! Lykke Li – Love Me Like I’m Not Made Of Stone
More beautiful stuff from Lykke Li, following up that of I Never Learn. The track is called Love Me Like I’m Not Made of Stone, which is definitely something that I can do. The track is from upcoming album, I...
Listen! King Black Acid – I’m Rolling Under
With a name like King Black Acid, you might have an idea of how the music is going to sound. If your thoughts matched the SoundCloud description of “experimental psychedelic ambient dream core with soundscaping for the imaginative sovereign souls...
Watch! Arctic Monkeys – Arabella
AM by Arctic Monkeys was my favourite album in 2013. They must realize what a great album it is, as they have just released their 5th video from the album, and now have videos for each of the first 4...
Watch! Lykke Li – I Never Learn
Swedish singer Lykke Li landed on the PeteHatesMusic Best Albums of 2011 for her stunning last album Wounded Rhymes. She is following that up with an album on May 5 called I Never Learn. Why waste brain power when you...
Watch! Damon Albarn – Lonely Press Play
Damon Albarn, he of no fixed address (actually, I’m sure that’s a lie), has a brand new video for a brand new track from his brand new album. It’s all new! The man has reinvented himself in bands such as...
Listen! The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Simple and Sure
We told you that The Pains of Being Pure at Heart were releasing a new album. Now we (or they?) are walking the walk – we have a new song. Like this post, the track is Simple and Sure. Give...
Listen! Paper Lions – Do You Wanna
They’re lions and they’re made of paper! I’m sure that sarcastic intro was exactly what Paper Lions were going for when they thought of their band name. Thankfully, they have songs catchier than the common cold to make them worth...
Listen! Inventions – Peaceable Child
Two of my favourite ambient instrumental post-rock call-it-something-else-pretentious-genre of music are Explosions in the Sky (who we interviewed last year) and Eluvium. Mark T. Smith and Matthew “Eluvium” Cooper combined as Inventions, and dropped the lovely track Entity. Guess what?...
