CSLSX – Aeromancer (ft. Mountain Man)
This song reminds me a bit of an old Cocteau Twins song. It has that spacey, dream-like quality to it that I’ve always loved from The Cocteau Twins. The video too has a similar van art vibe to it. I … Continue reading
Saint Etienne – Tonight
It kind of feels like I’ve been a fan of Saint Etienne’s forever (they’ve been making music since 1990, although I didn’t start buying all of their music until a decade later) and so it’s especially nice to see that … Continue reading
Tanlines – All Of Me / Brothers / Real Life
I’m a huge fan of Tanline’s tropical 80’s synth sound, so much so that I’m kind of surprised that this is actually my first post on this NYC band. (I only mention that they’re from NYC because they sound so … Continue reading
Cults – You Know What I Mean
Cults has been a favorite new band on mine for a while now and it’s because of great songs like “You Know What I Mean”. The melody to the verses has this sweet and gentle 60’s girl group pop vibe … Continue reading
NZCA/Lines – Okinawa Channels
In the description for this video NZCA/Lines defines “Okinawa Channels” as “Neutral objects become active. Surfaces form conduits for distant messages.” Still not exactly sure what that means, but it does make good inspiration for some pretty synthpop, which you … Continue reading
Memoryhouse – The Kids Were Wrong
I don’t post nearly enough Memoryhouse on my blog, which is a damn shame because I really like their music. For those of you who aren’t yet familiar, they sound a bit like if Zooey Deschanel went a little emo … Continue reading
Marina and the Diamonds – Primadonna (acoustic version)
Marina posted a video for the acoustic version of her new “Primadonna” single this morning, and I might just like it better than the regular version of the song. Stripped away are the big bombastic electronic pop flourishes of the … Continue reading
Nite Jewel – One Second Of Love
Every time I start listening to the beginning of “One Second Of Love” I think I’m not going to like the song, but as it keeps building upon itself I start liking it more and more. “One Second Of Love” … Continue reading
Young Hunting – Sweet Bird
Young Hunting have released a new single of delightfully dreamy retro pop in the same vein as Roy Orbison or Richard Hawley. It’s perfect music for a quiet Sunday afternoon.
iamamiwhoami – good worker
Just as soon as I finished my post for “drops” then suddenly “good worker” was released. And just like how “drops” picked up right where “sever” ended, “good worker” begins right where “drops” left off, with the mop monster dragging … Continue reading
