That moment you realize no music has been posted for the last 39489 days. Sorry friends. Just casually picked up and moved to Australia to be amongst all that music greatness I’ve written about for years and years and years. Be sure to check out “Hiroshima” and HAAK’s stunning, stunning cover of Bon Iver’s “Heavenly Father.”…
It comes with great regret to announce we have been off our game lately (if it’s already not obvious) – but we appreciate EACH and every e-mail we are receiving. So… THANK YOU for still loving this blog, though it might be feeling hurt, a little slighted, and emotionally untended to at the moment. Anyway,…
In honor of Triple J Unearthed’s “Top 10 Unearthed Tracks You Missed” that was posted yesterday, it comes with no surprise that we are here to say YES, WE AGREE to their top picks. In particular, we’re a big fan of indie rock group New Gods’ minimalist approach in their track “Millionaire” and I think you should have a…
Tis that time when we realize that TIMF was upon us two weekends ago in San Francisco….and we are just now getting around to writing about it. Let’s make a few things clear before we get to debriefing: 1) We’ve never been before. The only SF festival we’ve attended is Outside Lands – which granted, was…
I always hear people say “you listened to this song, like, six times in a row now.” Fair enough, maybe I have (actually, yes, I definitely have) – and I respond with that I truly don’t think that there is a particular breed of humans on this planet capable of NOT listening to a good song again…
We’re compiling some tunes today for our road trip up to San Francisco this weekend for….yes, Treasure Island Music Fest. Just, yes. And on the top of that list, “Red Eyes” by Philadelphia bred six-piece The War on Drugs. Breakdown of TIMF schedule up next. Just sharing this gem in the meantime x Happy Wednesday ya’ll.
So….last week I had the pleasure of attending Bigsound in Brisbane where, not kidding, all of the Australian music industry decided to become a gang and take over three or four streets in Fortitude Valley. And unlike the industry here in lovely USA, and at events like SXSW, you continued to run into the same faces…
We are seeing these fellas at LA’s Troubadour on October 5th, so needless to say, the release of the highly anticipated video for their track ‘Hazey’ is making tonight a very, very good night. We posted about them a few months back, and just since that time, their notable (and for good reasons) song ‘Gooey’…
It’s Monday, and I know we’re all unhappy about it. Here’s a little tune to cheer you up. Lucius is a five-piece hailing from Brooklyn, NY that I just recently came across, and I’m unsure as to why it’s taken this long. Befuddled. Angry. Sad. But happy we’re writing about them now. Check out their catchy, melodically pleasing stuff…
These two fellas had reached out to us with their track ‘Fate’ and I can’t tell you how exciting it was when he had a listen & realized right away it was true love. The experimental element of this duo’s sound has us, completely, and utterly transfixed. Get on this before others do. x
I’m a big, big fan of this Dallas-born gentleman’s unparalleled craft, and his musical ingenuity doesn’t fail us in the slightest in his EP ‘Confidence,’ which released earlier this year. He’s a one-man show, mimicking the styles of some of our beloved favorites like Bon Iver and Ray LaMontagne with his delicate, atmospheric tone. The…
We’re quite excited to introduce this gem to you. New to our ears as of this week, VÉRITÉ is a divine mix of all things musically genius and New York. Yes, it’s true, we’ve decided to take the plunge and feature an artist from the lovely USA. We’re sensing a little bit of a BANKS vibe…
I’m totally okay with accepting the fact I must have been hiding under a rock these past few months/years, as I am just now hearing of Glass Animals – an English indie four-piece that is rocking my world. On June 9th this year, they released their album Zaba (which is already cool by nature of its name),…
Mondays aren’t so bad when the first item on your Facebook feed is a post from our favorite, beloved RY X, with a link to his new track ‘Sweat.’ This man can do no wrong. Have a listen – your Monday blues will subside, we promise. Also – if you haven’t heard Sam Smith’s cover…
If you haven’t heard this Brighton-bred duo yet, Christmas has come early. IYES (pronounced ‘eyes’) is one of the most unique electro pop duos we’ve come across, in that they manage to share vocals both brilliantly and intelligently. We’re sensing a little bit of a Lorde vibe, infused with the vocal styles of Ellie Goulding. Not a bad combination… Let’s watch…
Apart from just having a simply awesome name, this duo is creating some music that has some serious swooning power. We have been swooned. Hailing from the Gold Coast, yes Australia – you did it again, brothers Adam & Nathan impress us with their flawless indie folk melodies. Our favorite ‘I Will Find You’ takes…
Normally, I like to feature one song for each post I write. Not because I’m selfish & like to keep the good stuff to myself, but because I like each feature to be centered around the artist – so that, if you decide you like their sound (which is very well possible after listening to only one…
