Yellow Ostrich – “Ghost” [Music Video]

yellow_ostrich

Yellow Ostrich was originally known for their intimate, simple songs, but since its beginnings as the solo project of guitarist and singer Alex Schaaf, they have grown past that sense of lo-fi, 4-track aesthetic. Newer releases have been more full, a little more mature and produced. The track “Ghost” from their latest, eponymous named EP, however, is [...]

In the weeks before Ian Curtis of Joy Division took his own life, Joy Division, which would dissolve and soon after become New Order, released “Ceremony” and “In a Lonely Place” as singles. “Ceremony” was powerful.

ryan

Holy sexy. “Pull Me Down (Ryan Hemsworth Remix)” is a reminder that sometimes, in even the most brackish of waters, a diamond can shine through. That was a pretty poor analogy.

Deadmau5 – “Arcadia”

Deadmau5-Grammys

Fuckmylife is the eloquently-titled SoundCloud profile of the prodigious producer Deadmau5. Maybe it’s as profound as his burgeoning music career, but who really knows. The guy has so many FB fans he could drop a deuce and people would eat it up. Anyways, as a profile, fuckmylife is brimming with material. And it makes sense, [...]

King Krule – “Octopus”

King-Krule-Octopus-608x608

After dropping one of the coldest self-titled mixtapes back in 2011, King Krule nearly brought the music community’s heartbeat to a stop. How could this young singer-songwriter from London, known to his family and friends as Archy Marshall, sing with a pitch so dead yet so incredibly alive? Needless to say, the young talent impressed [...]

Kisses – “Funny Heartbeat”

kisses

Kisses is an L.A. synthpop duo with a breeeeeezy vibe and a knack for producing dance-ready tracks. On their latest piece,”Funny Heartbeat,” which features production from Tim Larcombe and Saint Etienne’s Pete Wiggs, the two tell a lighthearted tale of lost love, all wrapped in a sunny instrumentation that’s composed of a jaunty percussion layer [...]

Future – “Turn On the Lights (Ryan Hemsworth Bootleg)”

ryan

Ok, so not sure how ever I missed this illness by Nova Scotia-based producer Ryan Hemsworth, but I felt it necessary to share it with you all nonetheless. Some of you might recognize Hemsworth as a frequent collaborator of North Carolina-based MC Deniro Farrar, but this dude has a serious knack for delivering atmospheric, trapped-out, [...]

The xx – “Chained”

After recently releasing “Angels”– the first single from the group’s upcoming sophomore album, Coexist– The xx is back with “Chained,” a fuller sounding cut that includes an R&B duet between Romy Madley-Croft and Oliver Sim.
