Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic You can’t have a Top Songs of 2017 list without a Top Albums of 2017 list, right? Assuming you are all nodding along in agreement, you’re in luck and you’ve clicked the right post. Rather than wax poetically...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic New Year’s Resolution for 2018: Blog at least twice a month. Life gets busy, and travelling for the past 2 months has meant 0 blog posts (ignore the months before that please…). I’ll make it up to you...
Happy new year to those that believe in calendars (or at least the calendar that a lot of the world chooses to follow). Below is a playlist with just a small snippet of tunes that were dropped towards the end...
A few months ago, we posted Jamie xx’s contender for this year’s summer jam (even though it was only March). Jamie xx is trying to outdo himself in the summer jam department, with his latest track I Know There’s Gonna...
He’s a few months early, but Jamie xx has made his case for summer jam. The producer and member of The xx has announced a solo album, In Colours. From this album comes a video for the jam I am...
How could this song not be a winner? It features Lykke Li (of PeteHatesMusic 2014 Album of the Year fame, and other stuff I’m sure) as well as Romy Madley Croft from The xx. The magician who pulled these stars...
Some sunny vibes from La Roux, in a new song called Tropical Chancer (not cancer, like my morning eyes initially thought). The song is off of the July 7 album Trouble in Paradise, which is something you never want in...
Jamie xx, of The xx, has a follow up to Sleep Sound. It’s the other half of his double A-side, and is called Girl. Jamie xx brings the beat, like he so often does in The xx’s live shows (and...
More new stuff from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Following up Simple and Sure, we get Eurydice, somewhat similar to the Arcade Fire song title Awful Sound (Oh Eurydice). Or not. With a blast of indie pop goodness...
Jamie xx (or Jamie Smith on his driver’s license) from The xx has made a name for himself by DJ’ing and remixing tracks for all kinds of acts. Jamie xx is releasing a 12″ with 2 tracks on it –...
Bombay Bicycle Club have followed recent interactive video Carry Me with new track and lyric video It’s Alright Now, which is what I tell myself every time a 7 year old beats me up for my lunch money. The track...
We’ve heard the audio for the motor mouthed Eminem song Rap God. Now we get a retro, Max Headroom-esque video from the Detroit rapper. The singles keep flowing from Em’s new album, following Berzerk, Survival, and Monster. Eminem is also...
Remember that trend of songs getting remade by computers and computer hard drives? If it’s not already trend I’m aware of – and there are many of those – then I foresee a rise in cover songs done by Mario...
The xx have a new video off of last year’s excellent sophomore album, Coexist. If you recall, we were there in London at their album release party, mainly because we’re awesome. And modest. The video is for the track Fiction,...
The xx have cooked up something new for The Great Gatsby soundtrack, curated by Jay-Z. The soundtrack has new tracks and covers by other artists such as Lana Del Rey, Outkast’s Andre 3000 and Beyonce, and Jay-Z himself. The xx’s...
