This came back up on my mp3 music player when I was riding around downtown LA trying to score some fireworks that have high flying colors brighter than the law would allow. Broken Bells is the fantastically delightful mind-child collabosky between James Mercer (Shins) and Dangermouse (Gnarls Barkley’s beat making half). This super [...]
One of the most sickest bands I’ve ever seen perform live is now touring…nowhere near me. =( Oh well! It’s a great time to revisit their amazing 7-track LP called Chez Viking which you can get in 150 gram white or blue vinyl—still! Fresh. The Mercury Program is one of the bands I [...]
The Postmarks are easily one of my favorite bands in the past couple years. They made that wonderful covers album, By the Numbers, back in 08 where they released a track per month. Each track had a number in the title. Their cover of “You Only Live Twice” really did it for me, cause I [...]
I really like the fact that these guys play in the subways and street corners, if you were lucky enough to catch the at the L stop, you’d totally knowhere I’m comin’ from. The Freelance Whales are a New York quintet with enough happy indie synth driven jams to make all your saddies go [...]
This morning I was getting totally lost and dazed into the new Daedelus album Righteous Fists of Harmony…and if you’ve seen the promo vid, you’d know exactly how I’m feeling. This beautiful blend of electronics and instruments, makes me want to go outside and shoot some film-ish. Order of the Golden Dawn is bossa [...]
Arcade Sound likes to give FREE music and I’m always down for that. Our latest dig is Ontario duo Memoryhouse. The Years EP starts off with a half asleep, floating through the clouds, dream sequence called Lately (Deuxième) and then goes into drum machines, electronics, and synths with more Denise. Get their EP and be [...]
I just watched Nedry’s video for their track A42 and I think they sound a lot like Bjork, a bit lighter in sound, but sort of dark moods well placed inbetween. I hear drops of ambient lofi, helpings of glitch arrangements and some nice guitars per Apples & Pears. The UK trio will be releasing [...]
Morr Music is going to be releasing Lali Puna’s 4th studio album come April and we’re excited that the German electronic pop group is back after 5 years of hiatus! Their unique blend of lo-fi ambient pop tunes is backed by Notwist frontman Markus Acher and fellow Tied & Tickled Trio member Christoph Bradner. [...]
