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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s been way too long since we’ve heard any new material from the fantastic electro-pop Canadian duo Chromeo. “Night by Night“, the latest track signed Chromeo will definitely get you boogie in no time, thanks to its Eye of the Tigeresque rhythm, disco beats and funky guitar chops. As an added bonus, you guys should [...]
We all know this band, we all appreciate its uniqueness and most incredible talent. And they've done it again. they will release tomorrow what in my opinion is they're best work - a new material called "Love 2" ! The French electronic pop duo AIR - Jean-Benoit Dunckel and Nicolas Godin - will [...]
A few days ago I told you all about the Devendra Banhart remix of Phoenix’s “Rome,” a totally awesome rehash that turned the up beat anthem into a beautiful odd to melancholy. Today is Animal Collective’s turn to dive into Phoenix material - check out this spacey try of “Love Like A Sunset.” [via GorillavsBear [...]
It took almost 11 years for Portishead to release “Third” in 2008, one of the best records of the year. The time off seems to have payed off, considering Third was such a mind blowing experience. Fans don’t need to wait for another generation to pass to listen to a new album though, as NME [...]
If you’re into Animal Collective and college lo-fi jams, you’ll undoubtedly love Truman Peyote, a Massachusettes electro duo consisting of Eric Farber and Caleb Johannes. The two just recently released a very promising album titled “Light-Lightning” via Whitehaus Family Records, which has already sold out, so if you like what you hear, you’ll have to [...]
