We have another track from Local Natives, following that of the stunning first listen for Breakers. The track is also (obviously) lifted from upcoming album, Hummingbird. The tune is Heavy Feet, which is a Disney movie, isn’t it? If not...
We previously featured the vowel-phobic Portland band, STRFKR, and their track Leave It All Behind. We have another offering, and it’s not the kind where you need to sacrifice any of your farm animals. The STRFKR track is a slow...
Toro Y Moi kick off 2013 with the hangover that all of us inevitably had – am I the only one that woke up in a snowbank? – and decided to one up us all and release a new video,...
We have some new stuff out of Australia, and it comes in the form of Flume, which reminds me of the Zumba Flume water ride from Canada’s Wonderland. I often make weird mental word associations. In this case, Flume is...
Not many musicians finalize their divorces AND release a new music video on the same day. But the lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely Zooey Deschanel managed to do that, finalizing her divorce with Death Cab for Cutie singer, Ben...
We recently covered Elliphant, and commented on how awesome Sweden has been for pumping out great pop tunes of late. We have another good addition to our list – New Found Land. No, they are not from Newfoundland, Canada (just...
We have a sprawling, 8 and a half minute remix of The xx for you. Like most remixes of The xx, the track takes the original, minimalist tracks, shakes them up, and gives them a kick in the ass. I...
Some more great stuff out of Birmingham, England for you. We have Troumaca, who have a warm, electronic blip filled track in Lady Colour. The video has some slow motion, underwater, colour-filled people doing their thing. The song is better...
We have some booming and beautiful vocals in a minimalist, subtle track from London trio called London Grammar. Something about spelling and grammar and music that should stay separate, as no one likes spelling and grammar in music – lyricists...
We have another video from Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit. The track is another one lifted from Pedestrian Verse, and features a video with a comical twist ending. Check out the Woodpile, which is a strong indie rock track, and...
It was not too long ago that we featured Kiwi band, The Ruby Suns, and their track Kingfisher Call Me. Since then, I’ve been released from jail, and can now watch YouTube videos in a more relaxed environment – my...
Com Truise has done another remix, and it’s of a band and song we’ve already featured – I love when that happens! Everything Everything released their single, Kemosabe, earlier this year. Com Truise has remixed tons of people, including The...
It’s amazing that Quentin Tarantino has developed such a musical style in his films that the first thing I thought of when I heard this instrumental, hip hop-esque track was “this would fit in well with Django Unchained”. Based on...
We have a new song called Counting, and it has nothing to do with Sesame Street for once in this blog’s history. The band that rescued us from our Sesame Street trap is Autre Ne Veut, who bring Mykki Blanco...
One of the standout tracks from Twin Shadow’s Confess album is The One. We get a video for the new single, but it’s a very stripped down, non-album version that comes across as a heartbreakingly painful version. The show was...
