Download: Neon Indian - ‘Deadbeat Summer’

One of the most interesting debut projects of the year is, without a shadow of a doubt, the Austin electropop  Neon Indian. The band’s sound is an interesting mix of lo-fi and reminiscent ’80s cheesy disco beats, delivering in the process some incredible synths and pop hooks. It’s not nearly as danceable as Alan Palomo’s [...]

Hot streaming: Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus The Remix Collection

Forget what Chinese astrology might tell you, 2009 is the year of the Phoenix! After delivering what can only be described as almost pure pop perfection, in the form of their last record “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix“, and  becoming the most remixed band of the summer, it’s pretty clear the band is at the top of [...]

Download: Fever Ray - ‘Stranger Than Kindness’ (Nick Cave cover)

During her recent summer tour, Karin Andresson released a very limited edition 7″, featuring her covering Vashti Bunyan’s “Here Before” and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ “Stranger Than Kindness.” Both are excellent, but I found the Nick Cave one strangely interesting. The original is soberly dark, but this Fever Ray version dwells even further, [...]

Download: LCD Soundsystem - ‘Bye Bye Bayou’ (Alan Vega cover)

James Murphy’s first single in over a year is actually a cover, a damn right good one too, namely Alan Vega’s (Suicide) infectious 1980 released “Bye Bye Bayou.” Following the release of his incredible 2007 “Sound of Silver,” naturally, there will be some incredibly high expectations regarding LCD Soundsystem’s upcoming 2010 new effort. This latest [...]

Download: Phoenix vs Jay-Z vs Don Diablo - ‘99 Fences’

Alright, it’s now official: Phoenix is without a shadow of a doubt the most remixed band of the year. This most recent one, penned by the talented uprising DJ Don Diablo, is an interesting mashup of Phoenix’s “Fences” and Jay-Z’s “99 Problems.” You can really sense the tight production work that went into the remix [...]

New Basement Jaxx video: ‘Scars’

Well, you know me, I can’t resist a bucket of random. Basement Jaxx’s video for the electro duo’s latest single “Scars,” like most BJ visual contraptions from along the year,  is packed with weird loops of plants, chameleons, flying flowers and really menacing looking stuff. The CGI was rendered and directed by Dutch artist Jan [...]

Being a big music aficionado, I’ve kinda developed a very eclectic taste in music. I can go from punk to old school jazz to blues to classic rock to grunge, whatever with ease, depending in what mood I’m in. Lately, though, I’ve become more and more immersed into the electronic music scene. Up until a [...]
