Disclosure – You & Me (Flume remix) (feat. Eliza Doolittle)
Sometimes simplicity for simplicity’s sake is the best policy. Flume has stripped Disclosure’s original track of “You & Me” down to a single sample from the chorus and then slowed it down and sexed it up with lush layered strings … Continue reading
Chlöe Howl – Paper Heart / I Wish I Could Tell You / No Strings / Rumour
Befreckled British newcomer Chlöe Howl is one of those great up-and-coming 2013 artists that I’ve been meaning to post about for a while now, but until now I was unfortunately thwarted in one way or another by laziness. It’s gotten so bad … Continue reading
SCRNS – TTYN
I can’t stop listening to this fantastically subversive pop song called “TTYN” (which I believe stands for “Talk To You Never”) by SCRNS, a brand-spanking-new duo from Minneapolis. The satirical lyrics suggest conformity and mindlessly working for the Man: Set your goals/ Get your … Continue reading

If you were to ask me at any given moment what my favorite album of all time is and I don’t answer Bent’s Ariels right away, well, then you’ll just have to sleep easy knowing that at the very least it’s … Continue reading

Toro Y Moi – Rose Quartz
This video for Toro Y Moi’s spaced-out, loopy jam “Rose Quartz” is just too cool not to share. Filmed using rotoscoping animation and copious globs of paint, this video has such a unique look to it totally unlike anything else … Continue reading
Janelle Monáe – PrimeTime (feat. Miguel)
Continuing with tonight’s trend of downtempo music we have the smooth R&B of Janelle Monáe’s “PrimeTime”, which sounds a bit like they got Prince to shred guitar over a sample from the “OooOoo” part of the Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind”. The … Continue reading
HAERTS – Wings
The more I hear it, the more I think HAERTS’ “All The Days” is an incredibly strong contender for Song of the Year, if not one of my most favorite songs ever, and “Wings” is right up there with “All … Continue reading
Sébastien Tellier – L’amour naissant
The video for “L’amour naissant” (roughly translated “the budding romance”) features a priest and a woman running towards each other on a beach as if to romantically embrace (think: The Thorn Birds), but camera tricks and editing make it so … Continue reading
Cut Copy – Free Your Mind
True Blood‘s Alexander Skarsgård stars as an Iggy Pop lookalike cult leader in Cut Copy’s weird new music video for “Free Your Mind”, the official single and title track from their forthcoming album ‘Free Your Mind’ (out November 5th). Seeing Cut … Continue reading
Charli XCX – SuperLove
Even though Charli XCX just released her debut album ‘True Romance’ a little bit earlier this year she’s already working on the next album with “SuperLove” being one of those new songs that we can look forward to. As you … Continue reading
