Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
Boards of Canada need little of no introduction because they’re legendary to say the least. And if you missed it their label Warp Records stream the entire Tomorrow’s Harvest yesterday (don’t worry I missed it too, sneaky bastards). Worry not though, you can still pre-order the album here, and as always I suggest the vinyl. Officially the album drops June the 11th. Peace. Continue reading “boards of canada // tomorrow’s harvest”
Chance meetings can change the course of everything. In 2008 the duo Hey Champ (Saam Hagshenas & Jonathan Marks) caught the ears of Lupe Fiasco and nothing has been the same ever since. Fast forward. The boys from just outside Rockford, Illinois are currently hard at work fashioning new material for mass consumption (debut album perhaps?). But in the meantime and between time the band just released the track Celebrate to gyrate your hips to. Might I suggest getting your gyration on? Peace. Continue reading “hey champ // celebrate”
Do you smell that? Musically aromatic (electromatic?) wouldn’t you say? It’s the latest video from Mixhell. The song is titled The Way and it is directed by Rudå Cabral. This is one of many from the band’s forthcoming LP Spaces, it drops June 11th courtesy of Last Gang Records. Love the retro electro feel of this one, sounds like the B52’s and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had a lovechild and christened it Mixhell. Peace. Continue reading “mixhell // the way + video”
Maybe it was the quaint piano intro. I’m not sure. More than likely though it was the lyrics sung out from the pit of Bryan Robert Diver‘s tenaciously vulnerable heart. But it all comes unhinged at 1:20 when the bass and drum kick in and you are suspended wonderfully (and fecklessly) in Drift Wood Miracle‘s brand of honeyfied Indie rock. The first single Mountain, taken from DWM’s forthcoming LP 21st is sheer seduction, and this listener is pinned beneath it’s thumb. And although I’m trapped I am eagerly awaiting the cavalcade of additional astounding tracks 21st will surely birth unto my ears. The new album drops July 12th. Peace.
Sonny & The Sunsets return to not only thrill fans with just another album. This time out the subject matter will put listeners in touch with their last breath, and just maybe upon listening to this LP one’s life will unfurl before your eyes. Hopefully as an harbinger to entertainment and not the conclusion of ones’ lifeline.. Lead singer/songwriter Sonny Smith experienced the death of a close friend (our condolences) and this life event had a profound effect on his relationship and understanding of what it means to pass on the other side so to speak. The songs on the new LP Antenna To The Afterworld are quirky, introspective and yet still maintain a high degree of listenability. The songs take on various influences, at times sounding like new wave rockabilly and other times, they sound like something else entirely. The album hits the streets June 11th, 2013. Peace. Continue reading “sonny & the sunsets // antenna to the afterworld (our sunday best)”
Farrah Fawcett Hair is the quirky cool new track off of Capitol Cities debut album In A Tidal Wave of Mystery, it drops June 4th! The song features hip hop legend André 3000, Ms. Soul vocalist extraordinaire Shemika Secrest, NPR voice personality Frank Tavares and a whole bunch Capital Cities fans! All these distinct singulars come together to make a funky good plural. Peace. Continue reading “capitol cities // farrah fawcett hair ft. andre 3000”
U.K. expats Lovelife have put together a double whammy 7″ single with the lead single Your New Beloved (a-side) and Dying To Start Again (b-side). The new songs drop June 13th via Neon Gold. And since you’re such a nice person, check out the band’s new song Every Minute. Shhh! Don’t tell anybody. Peace. Continue reading “lovelife // your new beloved + dying to start again 7″”
On June 17th, 4AD will release With Love, the third album from Zomby. The release is broken down into two volumes, the 33-track triple vinyl or double CD contains tracks you will dance to and/or fall into deep thoughts concerning life and living in or spiraling the universe. You can pre-order the LP via 4AD Shop. Peace. Continue reading “zomby // with love + video”
I don’t know but Mount Kimbie (Dominic Maker and Kai Campos) could very well reach god-like (ok, maybe just legendary) status with the release of their latest Cold Spring Fault Less Youth LP courtesy of Warp Records. I caught up with the video for the track Made To Stray, but it’s up to you to catch the rest of the album. But, that’s an easy fix, head on over to iTunes. Oh just so you know the You Took Your Time ft. King Krule is killin’ it! Peace. Continue reading “mount kimbie // made to stray + video”
City of Angeles-based DJ/producer Kingdom has made his latest EP Vertical XL and it flows like winter chill water over hot rocks. Yeah, the metaphor equals steamy and this release turns the lights down low. Highly recommended for nights getting lost with a new bestie or whateva’. Cop yours on iTunes. Peace.
