poliça | lately

Poliça‘s forthcoming release United Crushers is expected to drop in March along with our collective hearts! SIGH! I adore (read obsessed) this little indie band that could, would and should be a part of music playlist, if only you let ’em in. Why for? Well, I’ll give you one reason, Channy Leaneagh and her wickedly mellifluous voice! EEEKK! Yes, I gotta check myself before I wreck myself! Okay, I got two thing. First, check out the track Lately after the jump. And secondly, you gotta’ feast your eyes on a The Current live session featuring Poliça playing their track Wedding. Good stuff! That’s all I got, for now. Peace. Continue reading “poliça | lately”

phantogram // black out days + video

Phantogram (Joshua Carter and Sarah Barthel) is a personal fav around here and I am only too happy (understatement) to showcase the electro-duo’s brand new video Black Out Days. The track is taken from their forthcoming Voices LP. It drops February 18, via Republic Records. Also, if you pre-order Voices now you get an instant download of the beautiful track Fall In Love. I like that. Peace. Continue reading “phantogram // black out days + video”

This is the second single reveal from the forthcoming album ‘Anything In Return‘ via Carpark Records set to drop January 22nd. Previously, the single “So Many Details,” was released and you can watch that video here. Peace. Continue reading “toro y moi // say that (official video)”

future unlimited // lightweight eyes

I don’t what’s happening in Nashville, Tennessee but whatever it is it’s working. Recently, in the land of country music there have been quite a few acts that are charting on Indie and Alternative outlets on college campuses everywhere. And Future Unlimited (David Miller & Samuel D’Amelio) is one of the best Nashville acts (or anywhere else for that matter) making outstanding dreamy Electro-Pop. After the jump take in the delicate, “Lightweight Eyes” and let it take you there. I also included the duo’s previous EP, hope you enjoy. Peace.

popeska // you’ll never know

Little known DJ/Producer Popeska hails from the ATL, and although you may not know his name just yet I suspect you’ll hear more from this young up and coming beat maker in the years to come. Especially if he keeps droppin’ bombs like, “You’ll Never Know” and 2011’s “Back To The Streets”, it’s a banga’!. Crank it! Peace. Continue reading “popeska // you’ll never know”

Toro Y Moi – How I Know

The perfect feel good music, bright, not too sweet, and easy on the ears. Toro Y Moi is all these things and then some. The native South Cackalackian, that’s South Carolina for all the uninitiated, is finally getting the recognition he so rightly deserves. Born Chazwick Bundick way back in the day, and now going by the moniker Toro Y Moi, he has created for himself a music that is mixed with the best of several genres, from R&B, Rock, Electronica, etc. the sound has been aptly described as chillwave, I couldn’t agree more. The track below, How I Know is taken from the Underneath the Pine EP, and the accompanying video involves murderous female ghosts looking for a few friends, creepy and funny just how an horror music video ought to be.
