OFFICIAL TEDDYBEARS VIDEO: CHO CHA (FEAT. CEE LO AND THE B-52S)
Here is Teddybears’ official video for “Cho-Cha” feat. Cee-Lo and The B-52’s and starring Jeff Turner (the focus of the documentary ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ about a man stalking Tiffany) directed by Zach Shields. Opening with a bevy of breathless beauties perched on the sofa of a dimly lit room this video is frighteningly […]
BON IVER: BON IVER
[rating: 5 stars] Bon Iver: Bon Iver Label: Jagjaguwar Release date: June 21, 2011 When Justin Vernon holed himself up in a remote cabin, writing For Emma, Forever Ago, there is no way he could have foreseen the span of impact his album would exonerate, nor could anyone else. Like a folk story echoed from generations […]
BATTLES: GLOSS DROP
[rating: 4] BATTLES: GLOSS DROP LABEL: WARP RECORDS RELEASE DATE: JUNE 6, 2011 How many bands can you think of that lost their lead singer and didn’t completely fold? Probably not many. But for Battles, the show goes on after the departure of Tyondai Braxton, the central figure of 2007’s break-out album Mirrored. As you’d […]
YACHT: SHANGRI-LA
[rating: 3.5] YACHT: Shangri-LA Label: PID Release date: July 5, 2011 For me, YACHT has always beenone of those bands that is better in myhead than in reality. That isn’t a slight,mind you. See, Mystery Lights is a solidrecord, but it’s easy for judgment toremain unclouded when the phenomenal“Ring the Bell” and “The Afterlife” areyour […]
FREE MP3 FROM YACHT’S NEW ALBUM: SHANGRI-LA
Y.A.C.H.T’s (“Young Americans Challenging High Technology”) new album, Shangri-la is a strange and hypnotic mixed bag of idiosyncratic beats, charming synth sound and new age / DIY punk-mystic vision. Like See Mystery Lights, Y.A.C.H.T’s second album bends synthetic components with abstract lyrics to create an oddly organic, stripped-down experience (that you can dance to!) Download “Dystopia (The Earth […]
NEW COMPILATION ALBUM FEAT. PAPERCUTZ + TEEEL MIXES SOUNDS OF PLANETS
It’s cold in space, but did you know that celestial body`s and planets produce sounds through radio waves that can sound warm and beautiful from light to dark? Jupiter sounds almost angelic like, while mercury sounds eerily creepy. This summer a group of artists have gotten together for a compilation album using those sounds called “Celestial Summer”, featuring […]
NEW MUSIC FROM THE KNUX: RUN (FEAT. KID CUDI)
The Knux already impressed us with “She’s So Up” earlier this year, and now they’re back with an even better single. Kid Cudi continues his rock experimentation and joins the innovative duo on “Run,” an upbeat number that conjures images of the beach, women, and good times. Add this one to your summer playlist ASAP. The Knux […]
SUN GLITTERS: LOVE ME (PAPERCUTZ REMIX)
Director Vladimir Miladinović spends his days backstage Fashion Week parties with undressed models. Somehow, he still gets his game on as creative director for campaigns like Puma and shooting covers for Belgrade’s fashion mag, Prestup. We think his lo-fi voyeuristic way of filming his models is a perfect marriage with the Papercutz remix of Sun […]
DANIEL ISAIAH GETS FOLKY ON LOWER EAST SIDE
Daniel Isaiah’s recent release High Twilight winds it’s way through years of folk references with some refreshing indie ingredients. There are tracks that speak to Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Conor Oberst, but with bursts of a youthful Montreal indie rock sound. For those looking for an energetic update to more traditional folk songwriting, Isaiah delivers […]
