anneka // jaws of day

one sure way to pique my musical interest is to lay down some sensuous femme vocals over a wickedly dangerous track. anneka is an accomplished vocalist/multi-instrumentalist and visual artist based in brighton, u.k. who isn’t afraid to try different approaches to further her craft. and, if you’ve followed this blog for some time then her name is a familiar one. and for good reason, she makes another appearance here with her song, “jaws of day” . the track was originally included as part of the electronic explorations compilation released mid-summer. however, it is available now as a single for immediate download too, how cool is that? after listening to this gem i am eagerly awaiting more music from anneka sooner rather than later. peace.

the weeknd // wicked games

The Weeknd has been building tremendous hype for the past couple of years. So naturally there is a great deal of anticipation for his debut trilogy album. Unfortunately, the minus is his debut release contains material we’ve already heard on his previous mixtapes. The positive, is the songs are remastered for this release. Yeah,it’s a small thing. but the big plus is the addition of three new songs, “Twenty Eight”, “Valerie” and “Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun)”. You can cop the trilogy via itunes. peace.

metz // headache

when a guitar driven band with a four piece drum dreams of a serious go at rock stardom they play pretty much whenever and wherever they can: dimly lit basements, skate shops and a whole lot of gritty bars and clubs are standard issue. and the end result may turn into what the canadian three-piece rockers metz have going on right now. metz marks a return to rock served up with heaping loads of distortion splattered all over walls, ceilings and eardrums wherever rock junkies gather to get their beer fueled party on. check out the song, “headache” complete with everything a rock track should be. peace. the band’s self-titled album dropped this month via sub pop records. peace.

black marble // a great design &

chris stewart and ty kube joined forces as the electro-goth duo black marble. and if you enjoy dark moody music reminiscent of the cure, new order and even depeche mode them these are the guys your ears may want to get familiar with. after the jump check out two songs, “a great design” and “a different arrangement”, the latter of the two has a beat similar to the cure’s “close to you” (my opinion). the band black marble released their latest lp ‘a different arrangement’ on october 9th via hardly art records. also, if this band is your cup of tea, then check out their ‘weight against the door’ ep. both are available on itunes and wherever beautiful, albeit haunting pre-recorded melancholy is sold. peace.
