wampire // giants + video

Grab a kid and make them worship this band.

 
Portland-based five-pointed star ship Wampire unveil a bangin’ new video (directed by David Fine by the way). The short contains equal parts mirth and the oft times mendicant and tumultuous push-n-pull between hirsute men and blue-eyed women the world over. You’ll adore the ‘Lac emblem, beach dancing, and actor Patrick Dunnam’s longish pit follicles blowing in the Pacific airstream. I did. Yes, I am apologetically weird.

Anyway, the track is one of many (originally there were ten but Beyoncé strong-armed one) from Wampire’s latest ensemble of sound, Curiosity birthed into existence courtesy of Polyvinyl Records. Peace. Continue reading “wampire // giants + video”

elizabeth rose // the good life (emoh instead remix)


 
The Elizabeth Rose track The Good Life gets a transcendental remix by fellow Aussie denizen and top notch producer/dj Chris ‘Emoh’ Emerson. The ensuing results are immediate as the track resonates sunshiny candied coated beams of euphoria into your eardrums. So, if you find yourself “down under” you can find Emoh Instead working the tables at various locales wherever. But, if your funds are prohibitively low there’s a cheaper way to get the Emoh Instead experience. Check out his debut Say So EP which received appreciative nods from the likes of A-Trak and Diplo. Like I have mentioned numerously, the Australian scene is burning up! With producers like Chet Faker, Ta-ku, Flume, LDRU and Yahtzel the future is indeed bright and tirelessly rhythmic.
 
Also, be on the look out for the Elizabeth Rose EP, it drops January 17th, 2014. Continue reading “elizabeth rose // the good life (emoh instead remix)”

paris is burning // basement sessions ep


 
Paris Is Burning have a sound subterfuged from musical DNA of 80’s alternative rock, namely The Smiths and Big Country, etc.? Yet, the band adds the nuance of beefier guitar rattle and hum with a more contemporary post-punk pop-ish attitude. The band came together in 2012 and released some fairly respectable music. In January they gave us the two-track release featuring Wild and This City. Then, in the month of Juno they rang out with three more song contained in the shining glittery pill of the Basement Sessions. I am thinking a full length release in 2014. I hope so. Peace.

My ears think they’re just the cat’s мяу!

 
Hospital is a задира Moscow-based band. Check out their Max Nikonov directed video for their song, Secret Place. The track is taken from the band’s debut When The Trees Were Higher out now.

We’ll be hearing more from this band in the near and dear future. Peace. Continue reading “hospital // secret place + video”

typhoon // young fathers + video


 
I am always a gluten for new music from the band Typhoon and when they deliver a song (and a video) like Young Fathers it is easy to hear, and see why. If you like what you hear then check out the band’s August release White Lighter via Tender Loving Empire. Peace.

P.S. Isn’t Kyle Morton’s voice much like a shot of raw whiskey with a slow motion splash of sugar sweet? GAWD!
