Nothing big for today, I just wanted to share a lovely little song that has been playing off my laptop constantly and helping me get through my studying. Off of Shlohmo’s EP, Vacation, this song is another quietly gorgeous track to add to his growing collection of gems. Take a listen:
By golly, I’ve seen some smouldering looks in my time, but Danish producer Tomas Barfod surely takes the cake with that stare. Why so moody Tomas? I don’t know, must all be part of the image. Anyways, have a listen to Till We Die.
Ghostly/Beachy
Sorry for not posting in the later days of last week but excuses are boring so let’s move on. Ghost Beach are a duo from NYC and Miracle is everything I love in a song. It’s got a killer electric groove, heartfelt lyrics and brilliant pop flashes. I’ve fallen in love; you should, too:
I was a big fan of . . . Fancy Footwork (it took me a while to remember the actual song there) so I was pretty pumped to see that Chromeo had a new video out. The song’s pretty fantastic and I await any and all remixes come July. Take a listen/watch after the jump:
I admire Passion Pit because they seemed to storm onto the scene with their own kind of genre. They had synths, drum kits, great vocals, and just a knack for creating a melody that would pester you all day and wouldn’t let you go a minute without humming it. Here’s their latest song from their upcoming album Gossamer.
I don’t normally buy singles. Why pay a pound more for six remixes that are almost inevitably worse than the original. I bought Overjoyed, Bastille’s first single. I don’t regret it.
Okay so the other day I stumbled upon something really, really beautiful. No, not Mila Kunis (although I can still dream). I was paddling around and surfing our beloved internet when I discovered a quite frankly gorgeous Max Cooper remix.
Call Her Definitely Maybe
I’d say that Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe will be top of the charts these summer months. I’d place money (if I had any) on it following a neat fun./Gotye type sequence whereby a consistent trickle of stunts propells (or encourages) it to number one (a Glee sequence, Superbowl appearance and a viral cover and Glee sequence respectively.) They’re sleeper hits, or about as much as a sleep hit with which you can charge a pop song. Call Me Maybe has Bieber buzz, Canadian buzz, and surely Glee buzz by the end of season three? Make that happen, RIB. Anyway, here’s a Carly Rae remix for your Saturday – and please don’t assume I mean this is for partying – it’s for all-weathers. Equal amounts useful for a night in with a pizza alone or a night out in Shoreditch. I won’t tell you into which category I fall.
I think I love indietronica. Like it literally always is amazing. It’s especially amazing when it comes from the best. Worship are the best so you’ll love what’s coming after the jump! (more…)
I’ll keep it brief today – I’m ever so busy. Also, more importantly, I don’t want my words to ruin an amazing song.
