Weekend Music: Beats of the week.

It’s the weekend! Here’s a pile of tracks to get you in the weekend spirit. 1. Gorgeous synth chords from Seattle’s Odesza, remixed by The Netherlands’ Ganz (who only makes gold). 2. Monstrous bassline and amazing rhythm from a young woman...

Laura Doggett - Moonshine

Listen! Laura Doggett – Moonshine

Laura Doggett burst onto PHM with the excellent, SOHN-produced track Phoenix. Doggett returns with everyone’s favourite kind of alcohol – Moonshine. The song starts off slow, and adds some emotion and results in a stirring finish. Get your Moonshine on...

Loscil - Ahull

Listen! Loscil – Ahull

Some interesting instrumental stuff from Kranky label signee, Loscil. They are about to drop an album called Sea Island, and they show things at sea are going swimmingly, as they drop the song Ahull. The track is a mix of...

Azealia Banks - Chasing Time

Listen! Azealia Banks – Chasing Time

Azealia Banks hasn’t been around for too long, but it feels like her album will never see the light of day, and will become something of folklore, like Dr. Dre’s Detox album. But unlike Dre’s recently scrapped album, Azealia Banks’...

Alvvays

Watch! Alvvays – Next of Kin

Toronto (via the East Coast) buzz band Alvvays have another video from their stellar debut. Following up that of super catchy Archie, Marry Me is Next of Kin. The video is a rapid-fire collage-esque video. The song is another fine...

Watch! Interpol – Twice as Hard

NYC indie rockers Interpol are back with a new video. The video is directed by Interpol singer (and now director) Paul Banks. The track is off of El Pintor, and is called Twice as Hard, which describes how I find...

Ibeyi - Mama Says

Listen! Ibeyi – Mama Says

Twin sisters (a phrase I like leading off as many sentences with as possible) Naomi and Lisa-Kainde Diaz are known musically as Ibeyi. The 19 year old French-Cuban sisters dropped one of the more clever music videos for their song...

254 - Blindfold via YouTube screen cap

Watch! 2:54 – Blindfold

Sister act 2:54 (not to be confused with Sister Act, the amazing Whoopi Goldberg movies) are back with some new music, and not a minute too late. They release a new album on November 11, and it’s called The Other...

The Darcys - Warring

Listen! The Darcys – Ultra Violet

The Darcys’ album Warring is one year old – happy birthday, inanimate object! Instead of us giving presents, we received one in the form of unreleased track Ultra Violet. The track demonstrates that it could’ve slotted nicely onto Warring. The...

SZA - Julia via YouTube screen cap

Weekend Catch Up: SZA

We’ve had this catchy little ditty bookmarked for a couple of months, hidden away in our poor bookmarking system. It’s time to catch up with SZA (aka Solana Rowe). SZA has a synth tinged pop track called Julia, which is...
