More good stuff from the outfit known as Portugal. The Man. They wisely roped in super producer, Danger Mouse, realizing that 90% of what he touches turns to gold (see: Gorillaz, The Black Keys, Gnarls Barkley). Danger Mouse produces new...
How nice of Poliça to name a song after Toronto’s famed film festival, Tiff. Or maybe someone called Tiffany. Either way, we get a one-off single featuring Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. Vernon shares singing duties with Poliça’s Channy Leaneagh,...
More stuff from Portland’s STRFKR. Their album Miracle Mile is out now, and we’ve heard tracks like Say to You, Leave It All Behind, and Atlantis. The track Beach Monster is a mid-tempo poppy number, with some backing “ahhhhs” and...
Lots of name-dropping in play on this track. RDGLDGRN (Red Gold Green) is a modern iteration of the Washington DC Go Go genre. They just released an EP including some collaboration with (name drop 1) Pharrell Williams. This track has...
How is this for timing? We just ran the CHVRCHES interview we did with them, and one of the band recommendations that Martin Doherty gave was Young Fathers. And now we have a new track from them called I Heard,...
The Twilight Sad have been releasing a lot of material lately. We featured some tracks from No One Can Ever Know, and they had some B-sides that floated onto our site, too. Now we have a new single, which is...
Another day, another Brit band, another “la la la” chorus. This isn’t a bad thing, as I’m a sucker for lyrics I can sing along to. Paranoid Android – what the hell is that? After yesterday’s new Miles Kane track,...
We have some straight up blues rock for you from Australia. The Melbourne-based via Queensland band are a four-piece band called The Velvets. The brick wall artwork doesn’t lie. The track is called Shoot You Down, which sums up what...
If there was ever an appropriately titled song for, um, a Tuesday afternoon, it would be Hangover. This is the name of the latest song from Brazil’s CSS. I was blown away by the freshness of CSS’ first album, Cansei...
We have a dreamy new song from Belgian duo Float Fall (which describes 1 – what I tried to do when I jumped off a hill and 2 – the result of my folly in 1). The track is called...
It’s been nearly a year since we last posted about Barbarossa, and their track Butterfly Plague. A new single is out today from James Mathé aka Barbarossa, and we have a video for The Load right now (which reminds me...
After about 10 minutes, I somehow managed to finally mash the o and / buttons at the same time to get the ø required for Brøthers. And speaking of mash, Brøthers are a mish mash of musicians from other bands...
Bands didn’t have to worry about picking names that no one could “Google” 30-40 years ago. That’s how we ended up with a band called The Band. But now we have Google and apparently other search engines, so it’s wise...
We have a lovely black and white video for Majical Cloudz’s new track, Childhood’s End. My childhood ended when they started remaking movies from my childhood. To take this a step further, Karate Kid was remade starring Will Smith’s kid,...
Another unique and upbeat track from Laura Mvula’s album, Sing to the Moon. We already heard the lovely Green Garden, and now we can check out That’s Alright. The track features high tempo percussion, some horns, and Laura’s soulful voice...
