London duo Summer Camp blends infections pop with anthem beats in a melange of feel good vibes. They’re currently prepping their debut full length, where one of their stand-out tracks “Better Off Without You” is also featured and can be listened in its full below. Produced by Steve Mackey of Pulp, the album is still a few dimes short, so if you enjoy the music please consider pledging a moderate sum and support the band’s…

The new Arctic Monkeys album, “Suck It and See”, has been out for well over a month now, time in which myself and other fine individuals have been almost religiously preaching to friends, relatives and blog readers how incredibly tight this LP is.

A constant innovator, Bjork is pushing the lines between what’s conventional and not in the music business once with the release of her highly anticipated forthcoming x-th album, Biophilia. In the lines of what I scribbled earlier, the Icelandic songbird is planning to release the aforementioned release as a whole big iPad app. To be more exact, an app for each song, centralized by one core app. The apps will impress through interactivity. For example,…
Although far from being a Mr., Norway’s Monica Birkenes is one of the most impressive electro artists I’ve sampled in a while, and if you’re just about to contradict me, just hit play below and listen to her cover of Arcade Fire’s Suburbs. Click on the small around in the right of the souncloud player to download. The beats a darn killer, a nice 2-step dubstep instrumental overlayed by Monica’s haunting vocals, which in the…
