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…

LITTLE DRAGON – Ritual Union September 20, 2011
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” September 12, 2011
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…

Saturday, July 9th – THE NEW LIMB July 6, 2011
The New Limb – “Birds and Stuff” – Post by Jneels – The New Limb meander between brilliant pop melodies and innovative arrangements and you cannot be anything but engaged, emotive, and/or excited for the ride. It’s musically ambitious but never indulgent. Ballads skew cinematically poignant and heartfelt before you could ever question your romantic [...] Read More…
WALRUS GHOST May 12, 2011
Christian Banks is a true music artist. His musical compositions are works of art; each song paints a vividly beautiful soundscape for your listening pleasure. Banks’ newest project, Walrus Ghost is, as Banks’ describes it, a necessary departure from his last musical endeavor- Las Flores Project. The music and style is different while remaining familiar [...] Read More…
HOLY GHOST! – “Wait & See” May 4, 2011
This funky little jam is fantastically retro, undeniably catchy, and the video is awesome. Holy Ghost! uses their own fathers to play the band members, it’s pretty hilarious. If you like this track, you will no doubt love the rest of the self-titled debut album which was released last month via DFA. Don’t stop til you [...] Read More…
WASHED OUT – “Eyes Be Closed” May 4, 2011
Washed Out is one of the original chillwave artists. He’s only been around a couple of years but, then again, so has the genre. Filled with heavy, psychedelic effects and filtered vocals, the chillwave sound is a combination of new wave 80′s snythrock/electropop and lo-fi dance music. Personally, I hear a lot of hip hop [...] Read More…
