Perfect Monday afternoon jam…

Under Water (feat Mar) – Single (Plug Research, May 2012)

Punks Jump Up are a DJ crew out of the UK and they teamed up with Dave from Chromeo to drop this great track for all of the funkateers out there. The music video is awesome and the track is even better. Great for the summertime vibes. Their new EP is dropping on 4/30 and it comes with some great remixes.

NAS – “Daughters”

Nas just released his second single “Daughters” from his upcoming album, Life Is Good. In today’s world of tired hip hop, Nas is pure coffee. His lyrical genius and pitch-perfect delivery are unmatched. ”Daughters” is a refreshing track for a genre that is over-saturated with mediocrity. Providing production, the consistently on-point NO-ID is as great as ever. Can you tell I’m digging this one?

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)

JACK WHITE – “Love Interruption”

Spencer — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:34:40 +0000

Jack White knows tone. He knows how to get the perfect sound from an instrument. He consistently delivers a bluesy style that is dirty and gritty yet subtle and beautiful, all at the same time. His new single, “Love Interruption” is a perfect example of the dynamic sound of Jack White- cool, visceral, authentic rock.

LANA DEL REY – “Blue Jeans (RAC Mix)”

Spencer — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:02:34 +0000

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 Jeans”, one of the more popular tracks from Born To Die. Anyone else think Lana Del Rey looks a bit like Hermione from Harry Potter?

MIIKE SNOW – “Devil’s Work”

One of my favorite artists from 2009 dropped their sophomore release this week, Miike Snow “Happy to You”. Here’s 1 of my favorites from it, not as good as the 1st album but still a good listen.

Happy To You (Universal, March 2012)

ALUNAGEORGE – “You Know You Like It”

Spencer — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:30:43 +0000

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)

CARLOS SERRANO – “Something About The Fire (ADELE vs DAFT PUNK)”

Spencer — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:29:45 +0000

Carlos Serrano did a great job with this mash up. Who would have thought that Adele and Daft Punk would go together so well?

BAND OF SKULLS – “Sweet Sour”

Spencer — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 19:45:53 +0000

Band of Skulls have perfected an edgy, aggressive sound that really strikes a chord with me. ”Sweet Sour” is the title and lead track off their new album which was released less than a month ago. This song has been stuck in my head since I first heard it and I love it. These guys really rock.
