Homeless Tracks – Killin' the radio waves since 2012

Ra Ra Riot – “Beta Love”

American indie pop band Ra Ra Riot, has graced us with a really solid track. “Beta Life,” is definitely one of the best indie pop songs I have heard since the release of Passion Pit’s Gossamer or Matt & Kim‘s Lightning. With the departure of cellist Alexandra Lawn, the band seems to have recovered with an awesome [...]

HAIM – “Send Me Down”

Ever wonder what Florence + The Machine would sound like if it wasn’t cluttered with a million sounds? The obvious example is HAIM‘s “Send Me Down.” The track, clear in sound, features excellent vocals, simple tuba blares, and a swooshing melody that ties the track together. Within listens, you will find yourself humming along to the [...]

Kendrick Lamar – “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe (Star Slinger Refix)”

Star Slinger, the UK-based phenomenon that we last covered when he overhauled Bondax‘s “You’re So,” is back again with a refix of Kendrick Lamar‘s ever-popular “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe”– the second track on the Comptonite’s most recent good kid, m.A.A.d city. While the original version is downtempo and dark feeling, Star Slinger’s remix is [...]

Sufjan Stevens – Silver & Gold [Album + Stream]

If you didn’t know, Sufjan Stevens dropped a new album yesterday. Titled, Silver & Gold, the compilation is a quirky, Christmas-themed work that both inveterate Sufjan zealots and passing ears can appreciate. Landing just in time for the holidays, Silver & Gold wields some serious production and thematic value. Stream the thing from below, Spotify, [...]

Everything Everything – “Kemosabe”

Everything Everything is a British indie pop group, formed in 2007. Their newest album, Arc, is expected to be released in the UK on January 14th of this year. If you’d like an early taste, however, look no further. 4 days ago, the song “Kemosabe” (track number 2 on the upcoming album) popped up on [...]

The Rebel Light – The Rebel Light [EP]

The Rebel Light is an indie group based in LA. And when I refer to them as indie, I don’t mean the generic description that term has taken on. I mean a real, honest-to-God independent group. I had the pleasure of speaking with vocalist Alan Steil, who reached out to me to share the band’s [...]

King Krule – “Octopus”

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 [...]

Cris Cab – “Paradise (On Earth)”

The reggae movement that is Cris Cab gained his first bit of fame after featuring rapper Big Sean on his hit single, “Good Girls (Don’t Grow On Trees).” Now, he’s onto the next one with “Paradise (On Earth).” Cris Cab’s unique style is portrayed on this track just as it is on every single one of his tracks. However, [...]

Diplo – “About That Life” (Ft. Jahan Lennon)

Diplo decided to take a step back from his usual house music/electronic themed music to experiment with folk music on this track– a far different sound than the electro-superstar is accustomed to producing. The flute and percussion-based rhythm brings a fun, yet relaxing feel to the song, and the beautiful voice of Jahan Lennon makes it that much [...]

Citizens! – Here We Are [Album]

London-based Citizens! is hard to put in a genre-box, and that’s completely intentional. The band’s goal in making their debut album, Here We Are, was to craft something unique, something hobbled together out of disparate elements and unlike other popular music. They did a damned good job. The group described one of their songs, “True [...]

Two Door Cinema Club – Beacon [Album]

Two Door Cinema Club is a 3 piece indie rock group from Northern Ireland. They’ve gained quite a bit of attention, and rightly so. They recently put up a full stream of their new album, Beacon (due out on September 3rd), on their website. I encourage you to take a listen. The album opens with [...]

Kisses – “Funny Heartbeat”

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 [...]
