scratch massive // waiting (ft. koudlam

Maud Geffray and Sébastien Chenut are kind of a Parisian dynamic duo when it comes to creating deep musically creative music. In my mind what they do is assemble these incredible soundtracks which combine the best elements of fear and beauty. On their track “Waiting” featuring Koudlam, the song builds and stalks as the listener huddles down beneath it’s tantalizing menace. But in the end it swallows you up majestically and you couldn’t be happier. Look for the new album ‘Communion‘ to be released January 28th. Just a couple of things, the above photo is courtesy of Brain Magazine and my favorite SM album is Enemy & Lovers. Peace. Continue reading “scratch massive // waiting (ft. koudlam”

christopher owens // here we go again

The music wants what it wants or else it does not care.

From the lovey dovey heart of a slightly nostaligic Christopher Owens comes a nice little jingle to mingle around your earlobe. The track is “Here We Go Again,” and you can hear as much as you please on his debut solo album ‘Lysandre‘, no release date as of yet, but when I know you’ll know. Peace.

girls names // pittura infamante

“When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind.”

Belfast foursome Girls Names are unlike most bands in that they have forged a signature sound which keeps getting better with every release. If you heard the band’s debut LP ‘Dead To Me’ it was a fiery shot across the bow of ears everywhere. Now, with the release of their sophomore album ‘The New Life‘ fast approaching it is evident by the first two tracks, “Hypnotic Regression” and “Pittura Infamante,” that this effort is going get plenty of airplay in 2013 and beyond. By the way, you can Pre-Order ‘The New Life via Tough Love Records. Peace. Continue reading “girls names // pittura infamante”

rehearsed living // not your problem

To be a musician is to face the truth, and choose. Give off light, or darkness. Dear artist, be a candle, or the night.

UK band Rehearsed Living may be diamonds in the rough but there is buckets full of potential for all the world to hear. Although the songwriting is good enough there are fault lines in the production. That being said I am looking forward to hearing more from this quartet, with their post-punk synths and mundane glitter. With a bit of refinement I’d say this one is a keeper. After the jump check two selections, “Not Your Problem” and “Miles,” the latter of which is stylistically reminiscent The Psychedelic Furs and The Cure. Peace.

Victoria Christina Hesketh better known professionally as Little Boots quietly released a new single. The A-Side the tantalizing and disco-sprinkled “Superstitious Heart,” and the flip side contains the track “Whatever Sets You Free“. Both are groove worthy and a great addition to any playlist designed to chill the hours away. Production credits go to Maya Jane Coles, James Ford and Baunz and the release also contains a couple of remixes. Word on the streets is Ms. LB is gearing up for a new album release in March. Peace.
