FATHER JOHN MISTY – “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings”

J. Tillman, the former drummer for Fleet Foxes, is going by Father John Misty for his upcoming album, Fear Fun.  KCRW has been playing “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings” pretty consistently, and I still can’t get enough. “Jesus Christ, girl…” Fear Fun (Sub Pop, May 2012) Read More…

LANA DEL REY – “Blue Jeans (RAC Mix)”

Lana Del Rey’s major label debut was a big hit but I didn’t get too into it. I will admit that Born To Die is a very interesting album and definitely worth a listen. Personally, I’m just not that crazy about Lana Del Rey’s sound. I am, however, crazy about this RAC remix of “Blue [...] Read More…

ALUNAGEORGE – “You Know You Like It”

Loving this track from AlunaGeorge. “You Know You Like It” is electro-soul at it’s finest, fitting right in with Little Dragon, Quadron, King, and Georgia Anne Muldrow among others. You Know You Like It – EP (Super, August 2011) Read More…

PRINCETON – Remembrance of Things to Come

Remembrance of Things to Come, the new album from LA-based band Princeton will be released on February 21st.  Princeton have perfected their style- a blend of indie-pop and classical minimalism- giving the album a mature, fluid feel.  It’s a fantastic listen from beginning to end. Tour dates: Feb 22 – San Francisco, CA – Independent [...] Read More…

M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming

M83′s latest album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is the perfect soundtrack for snowboarding. Fitting that I first heard music from the album while watching one of the greatest snowboarding films to date, The Art of Flight. I never got into their earlier stuff but I liked what I heard, so I checked out the new [...] Read More…

BIG BLACK DELTA – “Huggin’ & Kissin’”

We all get songs stuck in our heads.  Sometimes we can’t get them out.  The best thing to do in this situation?…  Embrace the ear worm. BBDLP1 (Coming Home, September 2011) Read More…

LITTLE DRAGON – Ritual Union

I can’t believe I haven’t already posted about the new Little Dragon album, Ritual Union, which was released a couple of months ago. I’ve posted about the electronic Swedes in the past, but they have really honed their style and sound and shine brighter than ever with this album. It might not be for everyone, [...] Read More…

GOTYE – “Somebody That I Used To Know”

I think this song is great, but what’s with the music video?  I think music artists can let their artistic side get the best of them when it comes to creating videos to accompany songs. Then again, I don’t really appreciate music videos as most fans do. They just don’t appeal to me more than [...] Read More…
